OLUWA Lyrics Translation – The Godson (Deluxe) Soundtrack
Marioo references concrete habits like avoiding forbidden substances and alcohol dangers. His vow ‘I go change’ pairs with the Swahili promise ‘naacha’ – quitting now. Government restrictions on banned items ground the spiritual plea in real-world consequences.
OluwaOluwa,
Kaniba Kutoka AloKanibal on the track,
Sili Kush Kush KushI don’t do ‘kush’, ‘kush’, ‘kush’,
Sinywi Mitungi Ngi NgiI don’t drink gourds and gourds of it.
Napenda Push Push PushI like to push, push, push,
Mambo Ya Dush Dush DushNone of that chaotic drama,
Sili Ndum Ndum Ndum Serikali ImekatazaI don’t touch the hard stuff, the government has banned it.
Sinywi Pombe Hatari Kwa AfyaI don’t drink alcohol, it’s a danger to my health.
Napenda Ku Napenda KubaluzaI like to, I like to just chill out.
I Don’t Do CigareteI don’t do cigarettes.

Repetition drives OLUWA’s lyrics meaning as a universal call for redemption. Marioo frames self-improvement as achievable through divine support. Access to lyrics in English shows how simple language strengthens this vow of transformation.
