Daima - Eric Wainaina

[shikosphinx]

I remember this song and originally there was an english version to the song as well right? Black for the people, green for the land, red for the price of freedom. And white for peace in Kenya....

[MegaOkwonkwo]

Beautiful! All of it - the children, the song, the voice. So warming to my heart to see happy Kenyan children. My wish is that all of Africa will become peaceful, well fed, and happy. Hearing this song and seeing chidlren in this video gives me hope that it is possible. And my hope that these children will be influenced by being involved in Eric's work in a such a way that they'll carry it through their lives and maybe even become inspiring artists themselves. Way to go, Eric!

Verse 3 Wajibu wetu Ni Kuishi kwa upendo Kutoka ziwa Mpaka pwani Kaskazini na kusini Chorus Naishi, Natumaini, Najitolea daima Kenya, Hakika ya bendera Ni uthabiti wangu Nyeusi ya wananchi na nyekundu ni ya damu Kijani ni ya ardhi, nyeupe ya amani Daima mimi mkenya Mwananchi mzalendo

[MrNkuruber]

Verse 2 Kwa uchungu na mateso Kwa vilio na uzuni Tulinyakuliwa Uhuru na mashujaa wa zamani Hawakushtushwa na risasi au kufungwa gerezani Nia yao ukombizi kuvunja pingu za ukoloni Chorus Naishi, Natumaini, Najitolea daima Kenya, Hakika ya bendera Ni uthabiti wangu Nyeusi ya wananchi na nyekundu ni ya damu Kijani ni ya ardhi, nyeupe ya amani Daima mimi mkenya Mwananchi mzalendo

[darrierosa]

I'm so proud of Eric Wainaina for a job well done, a song well sang!! Sometimes this song gets me emotional because it's a song of a fellow proud Kenyan, sang from deep down his heart. Those kids are just so amazing, and the everyday Kenyans in the video just make me miss this humble life. I love this song so much with one heart, because it expresses the deep love we have for our country. Once again Eric, Kudos!! :)

Who can tell me what he sings??.. great song!! but i want to know where its about?

Proud to be a dutch guy :P.. he he he ,,

[mecheptoo]

@arjen56 he sings about what the flag means, all the three colours ie black for the people, green for the land, red for the blood of freedom, and white for peace in Kenya. He is singing that people should live in peace, he is proud to be Kenyan a loyal citizen etc etc

[mecheptoo]

This song totally needs to be made the national anthem. I am gonna do this song again, just putting a woman's voice on it. It is amazing.

[nikosalama]

@turky18299 why cant you learn swahili?

[turky18299]

@nikosalama Dude.... mimi ni mkenya Damu! I was just wanted the english version coz i heard it on the net radio and i liked it. If you know where i can find it i will be greatfull, if not basi nita look up pahali pengine...

[faboge]

i am impressed! So, there's actually something positive about Kenya! Go figure!

[ABO05]

Naishi natumaini najitolea Daima Kenya!

[chegenyanzi]

I keep hearing cats say how this dude is one of the best musicians in Kenya, but that's truly not saying enough. It's too small. People don't generally go around saying Michael Jackson was one of the best artist in the U.S. Eric Wainaina is legitimate. Drop KENYA. Dude is one of the best period. Before I was able to understand Swahili I loved this song, and now that I comprehend it, I love it more. Favorite Wainaina songs, "Too far from Home" Nchi ya Kitu Kidogo", and "Mwana Leta Pesa" Mad Love!

[gikonyi]

brilliant song am proud to be a kenyan

[akongamimi]

amazing song, thumbs up!
