Broken Hearts Meaning & Lyrics (Echoled)
Ssentongo Ibunbaazi writes about heartbreak using a ‘saba saba’ hail of bullets. He also mentions winding spools of thread for mending. A key line asks, ‘Tell me where the broken hearts go?’ This question drives the song’s search for solace.
Tell me where the broken hearts goTell me where the broken hearts go
Kuba kisasi kya saba sabawa kyonkubye kumutimaBecause a ‘saba saba’ hail of bullets has struck my heart
Tell me where the broken hearts goTell me where the broken hearts go
Eyo jeba weseza ebidondi bya wuzi ebitunga emitimaTo the place where they wind spools of thread to stitch up hearts
Tell me where the broken hearts goTell me where the broken hearts go
Nkunganire eno nebebakyawaLet me join those who’ve been cast aside
Mbade mpita yita nga era nsotya sotyaI’ve been wandering and treading so carefully,
Mpulide eyo olugambo mubakyala banoI’ve heard the rumors spreading among these women
Nti munange owe empeta lero owetaThat my dear, the one I gave a ring, is turning away today
Sitide nange nenzija mumaso go okingambeI wasn’t afraid to come before you, so tell me yourself
Wansanga nga ndi bwomuYou found me when I was all alone,
Kati era oyagala kugenda ondeka nga ndi bwomuAnd now you want to leave me all by myself again
Yade wansanga mbera bwomuEven though you found me living a lonely life,
Naye ekirwade kyenafuna kwagala gwe bwomuThe only sickness I’ve caught is loving only you
Owomukwano mbuliraMy love, please tell me
Oyo akutute kyansinga wekaba kagato kagulide nkaguleWhat does he have that I don’t? If it’s shoes he bought, I’ll buy them too
Mama mbulira osanga netereza ne tereza byeyakugamba mbirekeOh tell me, maybe I’ll fix my ways and stop doing what he told you about
Tell me where the broken hearts goTell me where the broken hearts go
Kuba kisasi kya saba sabawa kyonkubye kumutimaBecause a ‘saba saba’ hail of bullets has struck my heart
Tell me where the broken hearts goTell me where the broken hearts go
Eyo jebaweseza ebidondi byawuzi ebitunga emitimaTo the place where they wind spools of thread to stitch up hearts
Tell me where the broken hearts goTell me where the broken hearts go
Nkunganire eno nebebakyawaLet me join those who’ve been cast aside
Tell me where the broken hearts goTell me where the broken hearts go
Kuba kisasi kya saba sabawa kyonkubye kumutimaBecause a ‘saba saba’ hail of bullets has struck my heart
Tell me where the broken hearts goTell me where the broken hearts go
Eyo jeba weseza ebidondi bya wuzi ebitunga emitimaTo the place where they wind spools of thread to stitch up hearts
Tell where the broken hearts goTell where the broken hearts go
Nkunganire eno nebebakyawaLet me join those who’ve been cast aside
She was Linda Melinda Felisha BelindaShe was Linda, Melinda, Felisha, Belinda
Nga bona bagala mbaganze naye olwomukwano gwo nebifaThey all wanted my love, but those feelings died because of you
Neninda gwe ninda nga todaAnd I waited for you, waiting even though you won’t return
Lwe wada ebyemabega byenakusobya byewazaWhen you came back, you brought up all my past mistakes
Oh bebi look at meOh baby, look at me
Can you bebi get some empathyCan you, baby, find some empathy?
Nze obwomu mbutyaI’m so afraid of being alone
Kyekirwade ekyata jaja wange in 90sIt’s the same sickness that killed my grandfather in the 90s
Musaja watu olwamuleka kwekukankanaThe poor man, once he was left, he just started trembling,
Ekyadako kwali kuzika bebi come back pleaseAnd burial followed, so baby, please come back
Never not never too late to mend gangster afuka gentlemanIt’s never too late to mend, a ‘gangster’ becomes a ‘gentleman’
Begeresa nti abalunji baanjiThey claim there are plenty of beautiful people out there,
Naye mukama akatiba keyakutondesa mpaawo akayinaBut the unique way the Lord made you, no one else has that
Tell me where the broken hearts goTell me where the broken hearts go
Kuba kisasi kya saba sabawa kyonkubye kumutimaBecause a ‘saba saba’ hail of bullets has struck my heart
Tell me where the broken hearts goTell me where the broken hearts go
Eyo jeba weseza ebidondi bya wuzi ebitunga emitimaTo the place where they wind spools of thread to stitch up hearts
Tell me where the broken hearts goTell me where the broken hearts go
Nkunganire eno nebebakyawaLet me join those who’ve been cast aside
