lyrics

GIMICHAMO EMA IKWANO
GIMA ODONG KIK IGEN

Translated as: whatever little piece of meal that you've had, is all you must be grateful for. Whatever is left, you can never count on. Don't have bigger eyes than your stomach whenever you see food.

ANAWENE NG'A, IYA ANAWENE NG'A = Who would like to inherit my stomach?

This is a song sang in Luo language (Luo is a tribe from Kenya) and its teaching is about learning to appreciate what we have as we strive to lead a contented life. No matter how much you own, it would never be enough and furthermore it's not useful anymore when we perish.
