Sai Pool and Savi Yo starring Lyton - Ayikoru Lyrics
[VERSE 1:]
Yo Savi,
Kini zamva ala, mva lu ika, lu alaru,
Kini ruati zamva midri 'di lu ndriza!
Ale ta lu mi 'du mani ma okuru, mva a.
Sai, zamva lu ika, mva lu ala, lu ikaru,
Anira mi ati le ni ma tua ku.
Kini adriza madrisi kini lu: 'Ba ku, yo o!
Te le ta, Ayikoru ma lu mini: Ale mi sakaru,
Ayiko, mi mile ndrizaru!
Ika ma ku ma asi 'di ni nga su.
Ayikoru, e'yo mini nga mani 'di ndri cena alu tua ku.
Ayiko, ale adraki tualu.
Ika ma ku, mva la, ma nga owu.
[CHORUS:]
Ayikoru la, ile ma owu pere sa ngopi?
Ile ma candi ne pere mani drazu, kani ile ma 'du mini ra ya?
Ayikoru la, ile ma owu pere sa ngopi?
Ile ma candi ne pere mani drazu, kani ile ma 'du mini ra ya?
[VERSE TWO:]
You're my chocolate, mama, you're my cheeseburger!
Nandibade wa singa bebi sakusanga?
Awatali emikono, namagulu tebiwaga.
Mpika mpika omukwano nvugisa kimama.
Jamaica oba Puerto Rico?
Ngamba, njagala nkuvimbise ebiliko.
Mapenzi si mukyanganiko, silikugatika nga Solo mu Bibiliko.
Onajuwa nakupenda, sina nothing to surrender.
Seen it all, but my girl wuko better.
Nitumiye, kama mukati na yiyo butter, come home niku show ma mama na mi brada.
[VERSE 2:]
Ayikoru, ma lu mini: Ale mi sakaru,
Ayiko, mi mile ndrizaru.
Ika ma ku, ma asi 'di ni nga su.
Ayikoru, e'yo mini nga mani 'di ndri ce alu tua ku.
Ayiko, ale adraki tualu.
Ika ma ku, mva la, ma nga owu!
[CHORUS:]
Ayikoru la, ile ma owu pere sa ngopi?
Ile ma candi ne pere mani drazu, kani ile ma 'du mini ra ya?
Ayikoru la, ile ma owu pere sa ngopi?
Ile ma candi ne pere mani drazu, kani ile ma 'du mini ra ya?
[HOOK:]
Ayiko, Ayikoru, bele ngoni?
[OUTRO:]
Buli wenkulaba obera brand new.
Gonna spend ma money on you.
Holiday Halloween with you.
Our love, teka mu ka-curfew.
Wu wu wu, wu wu, wuwuwu!
ABOUT THE TRANSCRIBER:
Edward Aikobua (+256-781-345712) is a committed Black Ugandan Artist pennamed "Aiko" (shortened from Ayiko meaning "Happiness" in Lugbara). Born in Jinja on Saturday 7th January 1984, he is the 2nd son (though 6th child out of 7) to Elizabeth Ndezo (from Aliba in Ayivu) and James Dramani (from Ojapi in Maracha). During the 90s in Bantuland, he had no desire to visit Arua, but since the Y2K Doom's Day prophecy failed, he decided to tour the land where his ancestors are resting from Tuesday 1st to Sunday 6th February 2000 at 16 years old and returned every year after that until settling in December 2013. Aiko named his Art label "AikoGraphics" in Arua on Sunday 2nd February 2003 and graduated from Uganda Christian University (Mukono Campus) in 2006. After researching his tribe, Aiko began blogging in 2008 before creating his own one-page electronic Lugbara Dictionary since 2016. His goal is to improve speech-2-text technology in detecting his mother tongue...
