Simon Zipata - NAPOLO (Cover) plus OutTakes - ft. Barry Gomonda & Blamer Chisi - Malawi Music

RECorded and filmed on 13th January 2011 in Gomonda Recording Studio, Mbayani, Blantyre..
a week before I came back to England..
The video was edited here in Milton Keynes on 30th Jan 2011..
Just like the other song I recored in Yao & Chewa (A Sakina) I have never heard the original version (or anyone else covering it). This one is also many many years old and is the true story of a torrential flood that left huge devastation in the region from Mulanje to the lake..

LYRICS:

Napolo.....wa chabe
Napolo.....wa chabe
(Floods....what a bad thing) (loose transation)

Watenga magetsi ku Ntiya
(Energy/power was taken from Ntiya (in Muanje)
Kukataya ku nyanja
(Taken/sent to the lake)
Wasiya anthu nalira, maiyo....wa chabe
(Left people crying, oh mother....such a bad thing)
Napolo....wa chabe
Napolo....wa chabe
(Floods...a bad thing..)
