Maji jameni!
What did we do so wrong for the skies to cry you out bitterly?
Were our prayers overwhelming or too demanding for you to pour out in such anger?
Maji jameni!
We fled from our homes to seek peaceful grounds in a native land.
The lands lacked you precious maji and we prayed to Akuj to shower us with rains.
Maji jameni!
The wells that our men dug ran dry
And the skies were so blue that there was no hope of you.
Maji jameni!
Why did you ferry our families away?
Our small homes, that we went around searching for sticks and paper bags to mend them.
Maji jameni!
Maji jameni!
Maji jameni!
Look at our kids where will they sleep?
Ooooh! Brown waters that we so longed for, why did Akuj shower you out in plenty and we benefited nothing from it?
