Mr. Ebbo adapted this song from TUKULANGA, a traditional dance of the BONDEI people from TANGA, TANZANIA. The tune is about two fish species namely KAMONGO (Protopterus amphibius) and PEREGE (Oreochromis rukwaensis). In short, at a certain place, PEREGE was highly marketable but then somebody introduced KAMONGO and PEREGE market lost its ground. Meaning: How did the small and powerless guy pull down the big and powerful guy? "Kamongo umemfanya nini perege (Masai pronounciation), hana mapezi"
Je Kuna maana zaidi ya Kamongo kama samaki na pegere kwa maana ya maisha ya kila siku ya Bongo? nashawishika kuamini kuna siri kubwa ya maana ya wimbo huu..saidia""
My parents named me Masai and I have the people of Masai to remind of this everyday of my life.When I see this video it makes me proud to carry the Masai name.
Rest In Peace, Mr. Ebbo from Germany !

Most African song lyrics have double or even more meanings. I'm sure this song has a deeper meaning, but I don't know it.

'Mnazi' is both the coconut tree and the local brew made from it. I did not mean 'gongo'.

Hii saa unauza aje, unauza aje "alfu saba"
Ongea naye mpaka mwisho, alfu mbili
Hii (not quite sure what he said here) unauza aje, unauza aje "alfu mbili"
Ongea naye mpaka mwisho ni mia tano
Hii kitana unauza aje, unauza aje "alfu moja"
Ongea naye mpaka mwisho ni mia tatu
Kamukufu unauza aje, unauza aje "alfu nne"
Ongea naye mpaka mwisho, alfu moja

ile shati imeandikwa alfu tano "huu ni uwongo"
Suruali imeandikwa alfu nane "huu ni uwongo"
Oohh na viatu imeandikwa alfu kumi "huu ni uwongo"
Ata radio imeandikwa laki mbili "huu ni uwongo"
Televisheni imeandikwa laki tatu "huu ni uwongo"
It might sound a bit different because of his strong Maasai accent

Usiogope kununua sababu ya ile bucha bei "Ongea"
Usiogope kununua sababu eti hela harushi "Ongea"
Usiogope kununua sababu wameanza bei juu "Ongea"
Ukinunua nunua na usitangaze bei kwa wengine "Ongea"
Ni siri ya muuzaji "Ongea"
Iko kwenye...(i'm not quite sure what he says here) "Ongea"
