[male vocals] Listen
close,
the
seasons
change,
the
water
rises
high
We
stand
together,
Nanga
strong,
beneath
the
open
sky
Prepare
the
ground,
protect
the
home,
let
wisdom
lead
the
way
For
twenty-twenty-six
is
here,
to
face
another
day
From
Ishiki
to
Mwakipanga,
the
message
travels
clear
The
rains
of
El
Nino
are
coming,
let
us
cast
away
the
fear
We
see
the
clouds
forming
up,
the
signs
are
on
the
land
But
we
are
ready,
heart
and
soul,
to
lend
a
helping
hand
Madukani
and
Mnadani,
the
pulse
of
our
domain
We
gather
round
to
build
the
walls
before
the
heavy
rain
Check
the
drainage,
clear
the
paths,
ensure
the
roofs
are
tight
Together
we
will
weather
storms
and
make
the
future
bright
Oh,
Nanga,
keep
your
spirit
high
and
keep
your
guard
in
place
El
Nino
in
twenty-six,
we
meet
it
face
to
face
From
Kaumbu
to
Bulyang'ombe,
standing
firm
and
tall
United
in
our
vigilance,
we
will
not
let
us
fall
We
act
with
care,
we
act
with
pride,
in
every
single
home
Wherever
we
may
settle,
wherever
we
may
roam
Igogo
and
Mbuyuni,
hear
the
call
across
the
fields
It
is
the
wisdom
of
the
past
that
strength
and
safety
yields
Do
not
wait
until
the
flood
is
knocking
at
your
door
Move
the
seeds
and
stock
the
grain,
prepare
a
little
more
Each
village,
every
neighborhood,
a
link
within
the
chain
There
is
beauty
in
the
caution
that
we
apply
to
gain
Security
for
family,
for
the
young
and
for
the
old
A
story
of
preparedness
that
waits
to
be
told
Oh,
Nanga,
keep
your
spirit
high
and
keep
your
guard
in
place
El
Nino
in
twenty-six,
we
meet
it
face
to
face
From
Kaumbu
to
Bulyang'ombe,
standing
firm
and
tall
United
in
our
vigilance,
we
will
not
let
us
fall
We
act
with
care,
we
act
with
pride,
in
every
single
home
Wherever
we
may
settle,
wherever
we
may
roam
It
is
not
just
about
the
storm,
it
is
how
we
respond
Strengthening
the
unity,
the
deep
and
sacred
bond
When
the
water
settles
down
and
the
sun
begins
to
shine
We
will
know
we
did
our
best,
keeping
safety
by
design
Oh,
Nanga,
keep
your
spirit
high
and
keep
your
guard
in
place
El
Nino
in
twenty-six,
we
meet
it
face
to
face
From
Kaumbu
to
Bulyang'ombe,
standing
firm
and
tall
United
in
our
vigilance,
we
will
not
let
us
fall
We
act
with
care,
we
act
with
pride,
in
every
single
home
Wherever
we
may
settle,
wherever
we
may
roam
Stay
alert,
stay
together,
Nanga.
Ishiki,
Mwakipanga,
we
are
one.
Madukani,
Mnadani,
we
are
ready.
Kaumbu,
Bulyang'ombe,
Igogo,
Mbuyuni.
Prepared
for
the
future,
standing
strong.
Peace
and
safety
to
all.
