[@ephantuskarari159]

This song was a prayer before they went for battle against the colonialist. At that time, they had lost hope for a better future (kíeha) because the white man had taken away their freedom and mostly, their key capital which was also their children's inheritance, that is the land. The prayer was an appeal to God , the one who takes care (Mutangíri) of their army [ita, bet you heard off ita rí hamwe or intrahamwe from our cousins in Rwanda] the one who receives sacrifices offered by His people ( Mwamukíri magongona ma andú airú) to let love and respect [read obedience to authority while in battle] (wendani na gítío)reign among His people and genuine concern over the welfare of the community (tha nyingi cia rwendo rwa rurírí) and the unity of purpose in the community as desired in times of battle (úiguano wa Gikuyu na Mumbi) and lastly, that they may win the war and thrive again ( tukonana ringi, hindí ío kíeha nígígathira...) My interpretation isn't literal, as , most kikuyu songs can't fit that bill. They have mich deeper meaning than the leiteral words express. ... The prayer also curses the collaborators because instead of fighting for freedom they are fighting for slavery and no Kikuyu was ever a slave, may be a servant but not a slave. Slavery was a curse. If I could add, that last bit...Túrí a Mumbi...means we belong to God the creator.. its the prayer ending with confirming that all said and done ,we belong to God.

[@champee001karis6]

I just found myself here seeking wisdom from our ancestors, this means so much to me right now, I feel so much connected to ancestors and reminds me what they went through for me to be here free and still in mrima nation . Much respect to them

[@kingchris8133]

More songs of such kind. This is not for gikuyu alone but all African. Me here watching from Uganda

[@essetefithamlak6326]

Much love from an Ethiopian. I can only make some words I know but I love the soulfulness and passion in his voice. So spritual that I am hooked. Thanks for sharing.

[@hc82]

Its a prayer to God who answers prayers of a black man Mau Mau used to sing it in the Forrest

[@danielngugikamau6757]

True....some Kikuyu words are similar to Ethiopian words as legend has it Kikuyu's have blood relations with some Ethiopians. also, history from my grandmother is close to this legend.

[@jimmynjugan6919]

Essete Fithamlak give one of Ethiopian song

[@joenmuthiga9712]

What are some of the words that you can make out?

[@essetefithamlak6326]

@@joenmuthiga9712 pole if I butcher the spelling but I hear Maito- mother, Gikuyu na Mumbi- Gikuyu and Mumbi, Gai - God and of course Mwene Nyaga :) and oh turia mumbi means children of Mumbi I guess. I know other Gikuyu words though like aterere, rosio, negatho muno, ruracio, wemwega and nikiwega, oka, ninegdwete :) I am sure by now you know that I am married to a Gikuyu man. :) I love the whole culture and language.

[@officialjerusha8345]

I cried painfully today listening to this song, funny thing is it's not the first time am litsening to it🤔 .our ancestors went through hell in their own land.. others gave in and accepted white man's ways due to fear and intimidation....imagine women and children 😭 must have been traumatic, this is what has been passed on from generation to generation 😭😔

[@catherinenyoike8746]

This was a prayer by our people when we thought we would be extinguished during the maumau war. It was sung every morning as a pleading to God to preserve Mugikuyu. It's truly sentimental

[@danielwaweruable]

na thaa nyingi cia wendo wa ruriirii "that part" Get me going all Goosebumps

[@linetgracendirangu2319]

I attended a kikuyu play on Madaraka day and at the end, the cast sang this song. Most beautiful thing I have heard in years. Bless you Kwame....... Ngai Mwene Nyaga!

[@peterkungu9838]

IS THERE A VIDEO I CAN WATCH

[@DonAlpha]

Our mau mau freedom fighters went through a lot of suffering xand our kikuyu community was left fatally hit by the effects of that state of emergency in their determined struggle for land and freedom. Long live the mau mau spirit ! Rest easy my grandpa (a mau mau fighter )

I have a Danish friend who want to learn the kikuyu people,their culture,language and songs,I just sent this to him and he cried watching this,he doesn't understand a word but the solemnity and African essence of this song moved him to tears,Thaai Andù à nyùmba

[@janendegwa5462]

For what reason?I don't get alot of this song's even refer to nyakeru being the enemy different and of a different god so we don't share the blessings of nyakeru citu cie kirinyaga

[@denny3542]

Just say your boyfriend 😆

He wants to steal, that’s how they pretend and you find they’re recreating it for a book or movie without credits and paying royalties to the source!
