about

Abururu means brotherhood and sisterhood in Losi and the song talks about how we all need to help each other in our families and in our communities and how we need to avoid lies...

lyrics

Ku yangana yangana, Welele (Nyanja: Looking here and there)
Tiona zambiri, Welele (We see lots of things)
Ku nvela ti nvela, Welele (We hear, yes we can hear)
Ti nvesesa nditu, Welele (We listen deeply and carefully)
Lelo taona, Welele (Today we see)
Muli nawenye, Welele (You are full of lies)
Welele Welele Welele Welele

Azimai ye he he he (Mothers, Aunts, Sisters..)
Azibambo ye he he he (Fathers, Uncles, Brothers..)
Sungani bana he he he (Look after, care and protect the children)
Sungani banja he he he (Look after, care and protect the family)

There's a feeling inside for you all
And it won't go away
We came here to break down the wall
And we won't go away
There's a healing in time for the fall
So stay for the day
We came here to break down the walls
We ain’t going no where

Abururu Abururu Abururu…
