Tausi Ndege wangu (Swahili folk written by Fundi Konde)

[Loukasnr1]

Guess all the women have something of a peacock inside:) .

Anyway next month i'm going back to kenya to see

Tausi ndege wangu ...warm greetings from a cold Flanders.

[Loukasnr1]

Asante rafiki, i do like your  easy voice.

Is she realy a peacock?

Keep up the good work. Kwaheri (my swahili is also basic, but i'm learning..)

[emwandosya]

@Loukasnr1 No He is just using to describe his woman...a simple love song you could say, (thats what i think :) )

[soncojmk]

@emwandosya unaweza weka video ya kunifunza nimekuwa nikicheza for a year unaweza nifunza kuchaza nyimbo za kiswahili i've only learned za america nataka kujua za swahili

[steveSonko]

Thats cool. I love guiter that plays like this. could listen all day. Uko wapi msee bana? how can i get a lesson? I'll pay.

[jessfuji]

this is a rough attempted translation to english (my swahili is pretty basic):

My peacock,

my glorious bird,

bird, you are the end of wealth

now they'll say,

they were more than just two people

they brought magic

now we are far, far away

[emwandosya]

@jessfuji nice! i would have done worse

[steveSonko]

@emwandosya Uko wapi msee, Nimecheki video zako sana. Unanifurahisha tu sana bana. Heko kwa sofia na mamake wimbo huo mtamu bana. Uko wapi lakini?

[emwandosya]

@steveSonko hehe nipo marekani mzee...asante kwa kucheki, guitar inanisaidia sana kusahau mambo ya maisha :)

[steveSonko]

@emwandosya Asanti bana kwa jibu lako. Mie niko seattle, WA. wewe uko state gani? Ikiwa uko west coast au New Jersey (natembelea huko mara kwa mara) ningependa sana ku learn. Nani huwa anakufunza? Mtindo unaocheza ni mtindo ambao unachangamsha na una weza kuingia kwa kila wimbo vizuri bila matatizo.

[emwandosya]

@steveSonko Nilijifunza mwenyewe tu, i wish i had a teacher though cause i always wanted to earn african style...sana ya wacongo..one day labda, niko North Carolina
