about

Tewali (Nothing)
by
Andereya Baguma and Kate Bass

lyrics

Dunia ki? Mulembe ki? Mujiji ki? Nkola ki?
Baana ki? Bazadde ki? Bakulembeze ki?
Tebalabulwa, tebalabuka, basala misango, bawalanyi

Bona bakambwe, bakutte ebyambe, basazisa birevu eh eh
Befudde abakugu mukuba abazibu befudde abazigu kika
Ensi egwaawo banage egenda tukanula maaso kiki?

Tewali kyetukolawo
Tewali kyetutaasa
Nothing we’re doing
Nothing to save us

What kind of home? What kind of walls? Who to keep in? Who to keep out?
All of these dreamers, what do they dream? Can they imagine when all that they see
Is monochromatic, monopolistic, it’s all becoming monotony

They teach it all, we learn it all, but in the end we know nothing
We give it all and they take it all
We have everything but we got nothing
The world spins out of control and we look on like it’s nothing

Tewali kyetukolawo
Tewali kyetutaasa
Nothing we’re doing
Nothing to save us

Muzibule amaaso, tutaase ensi eno
tugende maasa, tuzimbe ensi eno

Tewali kyetukolawo
Tewali kyetutaasa
Nothing we’re doing
Nothing to save us
