Girl from Kisaasi
by
Kate Bass and Andereya Baguma

lyrics

From Kisaasi, wuuyo Ntinda,
Atuuse ekamwookya, ate wuuli ekiwatule
Nze namusanga Najjeera, naye mpulira ngu n’eKira abeerayo
Kyebando,Makerere mu kerere, Kasubi esuubi alikumye

She had bright eyes
And a wounded smile
And a big black backpack too heavy for shoulders so small
She walked straight to us unafraid
The little girl knelt down and said

Please help me and my sister
Please buy my music CD
Please see me, look into my eyes
We're just trying to live

So she handed me a faded old cd
So scratched that I asked if it had any music on it at all
She said believe in what I say,
And so I wanted to know more,

And then the little girl went on and said
To afford a living, I have to move around
I have to move from town to town
I have to vendor all I own

But all I have is the music
All I got is the music
All I have is the music
See, all I have is the music

Please help me and my sister
Please buy my music CD
Please see me, look into my eyes
We're just trying to live
