Lyrics of Damu Ya Salaam - Khadja Nin

Damu Ya Salaam (original)

tangu iraki mpaka amerika
wako karibu yakufunga vita
mi mama mzazi nauliza
ni nani ata linda watoto wetu
bwana hussein anasema:
«nataka salaam»
mi si aminiye neno ile
damu yaliyo mwangiwa
ni ya wadogo na watoto tu mimi huyu nakosa njiya
yakusikika kwa wakubwa
kwa hakika tulijioneya
vita ya kwanza ilizala fitina
bwana hussein anasema:
«nataka salaam»
mi si aminiye neno ile
damu yaliyo mwangiwa
ni ya wadogo na watoto tu nakata matumaini
ju kwa vile naona
wakubwa hawajali macozi ya mutu mudogo analiya wake
siraha ya amani ilikuta kwake
mr.clinton anasema:
«nataka salaam»
mi si aminiye neno ile
damu yaliyo mwangiwa
ni ya wadogo na watoto tu mr.clinton anasema:
«nataka salaam»
mi si aminiye neno ile
damu yaliyo mwangiwa
ni ya wadogo na watoto tu

(translation)

from Iraq to America
they are about to end the war
I ask my mother
who will protect our children
Mr Hussein says:
"Nataka salaam"
I do not believe the word
blood spilled
it is for children and children only I miss this way
audible to superiors
we certainly saw for ourselves
the first war sparked controversy
Mr Hussein says:
"Nataka salaam"
I do not believe the word
blood spilled
it is for little ones and children only I despair
ju as I see it
the older ones do not care for the tears of the younger one
the armor of peace found him
mr.clinton says:
"Nataka salaam"
I do not believe the word
blood spilled
is for children and children only mr.clinton says:
"Nataka salaam"
I do not believe the word
blood spilled
it is for children and children only
