Sometimes I wish that things would still remain the same
Live happy and free like the birds in the skies
Come home to the love of grandma and her lovely food
Oh, how I miss the beauty of the fire in the night
And the different stories that she told from the heart
In the evenings we would gather by the fire place and listen to her
Everyday I'd light the fire and tell a Nanyoni
Kuti musanagone mundiwuze nthano
Musanagone mundiwuze nthano
Musanagone mundiwuze nthano
Musanagone mundiwuze nthano
Oh, amayi wanga
And everyday I could not wait for the evening time to come
I would say good night to my friends at dusk
She'd tell the story of how the rabbit became a king
In a land where lions and elephants roam
Oh, you should've seen her face as she told the story
And this is another reason I'd sit down by the fire place and listen to her
And everyday I'd light the fire and tell a Nanyoni
Kuti musanagone mundiwuze nthano
Musanagone mundiwuze nthano
Musanagone mundiwuze nthano
Musanagone mundiwuze nthano
Oh, amayi wanga
