Kothbiro

[BMKPoole]

This record was also played in the background of the BBC series 'Our World' in the episode that dealt with Somali Pirates (Just in case someone is looking it up)

stunning performance!

[72grantorino]

I found out from a friend I work with who is Kenyan, that "Kothbiro" means "the rain is coming". To me, that just makes the song that much more beautiful.

[amypearce7]

I agree :)

[velda87]

Have you got a text of this song? Or translation ? It's a beautyful song but I don't understand its words.

[72grantorino]

No, I wish I did. I was just able to find out what Kothbiro means. But if anyone does find out what the english translation is, please post it here!

[velda87]

I found sth :) "someone on wikianswers wrote: The lyrics go like this; "Dear children, the rain is coming, bring in the cattle, bring in our wealth.""

Funny, the version I posted seemed to be the most pervasive one on the Internet...I would think it'd be right. Thanks for the correction. I'd hate to be the source of misinformation. :-)
