Mariah
“Mariah, don't torment me anymore, please...
Your love is no longer love — it's blood. It runs in my veins. It lives in my heart without paying rent.
For three years, Maria, you have been my sweet heartache. You came, you went, you left me watching.
And watching everyone else adore you? That is what kills me.
But now — truly, you have arrived?
Mariah, where do I look? My eyes have forgotten how to see!
Come here. No, sit here, where my soul sits.
I am dying of joy, Mariah! Do you understand? A man can die of joy!
Touch me, my dear. Just touch me, so I know you are not a dream again around purgatory.
Come closer. What else do I have to give you?
I have no gold. I have no land. I have no big English, but only Luganda.
What I have is love. Truly, this is it. This is all I have kept.
Look at me too, Mariah. For once, leave the crowd and look at me.
If you agree, come to me in Kyotera.
Do not hesitate. Do not think twice.
This love between the two of us, let's protect it. Let's hide it from this noisy world like a small lamp in a stormy night.
I look forward to the day I will be with you.
My dear, hurry... come here and save my soul before the world takes you again.
If you agree... let's go to Kifuuta ewaffe mu Buddu."
Afrigo Band, my best song is Mariah and Maria now, then Olumbe Lw'obwavu.
