Sijja Lyrics Translation Dokta Brain | Downtown Baller
Nkwanga Geoffrey writes that even if you tell me to hate you, I won’t leave. He describes how seeing his beloved makes his heart beat like energetic Lingala music.
Anodada Deal Done Dada DoneAnother deal is done, dada, done.
Another Happy African SoundAnother happy African sound.
Another Jayden Fire PanAnother Jayden fire pan.
(Jayden)(Jayden)
Gyebujja Omusaayi Simanyi KinaagukubaWhen my blood rushes, I don’t know what will hit it,
Ojja Kunziba OmutimaYou’re going to steal my heart.
Sumulula Olutambi Agange Gonna Ga KulobaUntie the ribbon, all of me is for you to catch,
Byenakugwa TebinnawonaThe way I fell for you, I still haven’t recovered.
Suh Brew Di Wine Pon Mi VibratorSo stir the wine and let me feel the vibes,
I Get You Used To Di Fire Like A Bread BakerI’ll get you used to this fire like a bread baker.
Ndaba Mukwano Gweguyiika KwekulembekaI see our love overflowing and spilling over,
NembekaI hide myself away.
Nembaako Ne Byendeka NebendekaI’ve held onto things I’ve left, and things they left for me.
Ninyenda Omanye Ninyenda Obe GyeI want you to know, I want you to be okay,
Olukulabako Omutima Guteera LingalaWhen I see you, my heart beats like ‘Lingala’ music.
Ninyenda Omanye Ninyenda Obe GyeI want you to know, I want you to be okay,
TututuTututu.
On My King Size Oraare GyeOn my king-size bed, you’ll sleep well,
BabeBabe.
Ggwe Nebw’olingamba NkukyaweEven if you tell me to hate you,
SijjaI won’t.
No WayNo way.
Sijja SijjaI won’t, I won’t.
Oh Oh No NoOh, oh, no, no.
SijjaI won’t.
Tebinyuma Sijja SijjaIt wouldn’t be right, I won’t, I won’t.
Mazima Nebwoliba OnkyayeTruly, even if you grow to hate me,
I Know Seh Tutaonana BadayeI know that we’ll meet again someday.
Olimpisa Abaaye AbaayeYou drive me wild, my dear, my dear,
Kuno Ku Mutima Ggwe Anninaaye EhIt’s you who has me, this heart of mine, eh.
Ndiba Ngendereraki Omutima Gwo Okugumenya Ogutasuza Yadde AkayinjaWhy would I ever intentionally break your heart, which doesn’t have a single crack?
Laba Laba Musajja Onfudde GentleLook, look, man, you’ve made me gentle,
Suubi Lyali Rental Mu Bibinja Bya Ba KawenjaMy hope was just a rental among crowds of pests.
Nnyimbiranamu Mbeere Nga AsumagiraSing with me until I’m dozing off,
Ne Malaika W’otulo YamatiraSo the angel of sleep will be satisfied.
Bagamba Bana Uganda Basiima Bagenze Baswaze Ggwe Siima LuwaliraThey say Ugandans only appreciate you when you’re gone, so appreciate me while I’m still here.
Kuh VanillaLike vanilla,
Smell Like Your Body MaThe smell of your body, ma.
Kubulwa Appetite Ebyo ObisawulaA lack of appetite, you’ve cast that aside,
Nali Nayiga Kugatta Nga SaawulaI had learned how to give without taking away.
Kati KkaliraNow it’s permanent,
Kya Mukisa SaabulaA true blessing, without a doubt.
Ninyenda Omanye Ninyenda Obe GyeI want you to know, I want you to be okay,
Olukulabako Omutima Guteera LingalaWhen I see you, my heart beats like ‘Lingala’ music.
Ninyenda Omanye Ninyenda Obe GyeI want you to know, I want you to be okay,
TututuTututu.
On My King Size Oraare GyeOn my king-size bed, you’ll sleep well,
BabeBabe.
