BABYEYI ( Mothers) - Taken from the AMAHORO album (Etna Record-Belgium). Join me to sing this lullaby to comfort the childrens, those little victims of terrible tortures, theses orphans without legs or arms or nose or ears. I see the confusions in their eyes dried up of any tears. I am here to tell them I am their aunty and I will caress their head, wrap my arms around them to comfort them.
lyrics
Babyeyi
Babyeyi mwabyaye mwe
Nimumfashe nihoreze abana we
Nihoreze abana
Nihoreze imfubyi we he
Zazize abagome babicanyi
Bakoze amarorerwa
Nihoreze abana we
Intimba nishavu nagahinda
Badahogora naje
Ref: nihoreze abana we(X3)
Harimo abincuke we
Udukuru tw’abakiri mu mugongo
Bacutse imbura gihe
Babakuye kw’ibere we
Babavanye no munda zabanyina
Babajugunya kugasozi
Barimo ababangavu
N’uduhungu dushaka gusoreka
Bavukijwe ubwana
Bakingiye amaboko we
Barebye amaguru baratema
Babasiga kugasozi
