Sai Pool and Savi Yo starring Lyton - Ayikoru Lyrics
[VERSE 1:]
Yo Savi,
Kini zamva ala, mva lu ika, lu alaru,
Kini ruati zamva midri 'di lu ndriza!
Ale ta lu mi 'du mani ma okuru, mva a.
Sai, zamva lu ika, mva lu ala, lu ikaru,
Anira mi ati le ni ma tua ku.
Kini adriza madrisi kini lu: 'Ba ku, yo o!
Te le ta, Ayikoru ma lu mini: Ale mi sakaru,
Ayiko, mi mile ndrizaru!
Ika ma ku ma asi 'di ni nga su.
Ayikoru, e'yo mini nga mani 'di ndri cena alu tua ku.
Ayiko, ale adraki tualu.
Ika ma ku, mva la, ma nga owu.
[CHORUS:]
Ayikoru la, ile ma owu pere sa ngopi?
Ile ma candi ne pere mani drazu, kani ile ma 'du mini ra ya?
Ayikoru la, ile ma owu pere sa ngopi?
Ile ma candi ne pere mani drazu, kani ile ma 'du mini ra ya?
[VERSE TWO:]
You're my chocolate, mama, you're my cheeseburger!
Nandibade wa singa bebi sakusanga?
Awatali emikono, namagulu tebiwaga.
Mpika mpika omukwano nvugisa kimama.
Jamaica oba Puerto Rico?
Ngamba, njagala nkuvimbise ebiliko.
Mapenzi si mukyanganiko, silikugatika nga Solo mu Bibiliko.
Onajuwa nakupenda, sina nothing to surrender.
Seen it all, but my girl wuko better.
Nitumiye, kama mukati na yiyo butter, come home niku show ma mama na mi brada.
[VERSE 2:]
Ayikoru, ma lu mini: Ale mi sakaru,
Ayiko, mi mile ndrizaru.
Ika ma ku, ma asi 'di ni nga su.
Ayikoru, e'yo mini nga mani 'di ndri ce alu tua ku.
Ayiko, ale adraki tualu.
Ika ma ku, mva la, ma nga owu!
[CHORUS:]
Ayikoru la, ile ma owu pere sa ngopi?
Ile ma candi ne pere mani drazu, kani ile ma 'du mini ra ya?
Ayikoru la, ile ma owu pere sa ngopi?
Ile ma candi ne pere mani drazu, kani ile ma 'du mini ra ya?

GOD is great (JESUS is the Way)!
Maracha is one of the clans of Lugbara in Uganda; I call it MRC (pronounced in Lugbarati). It is located East of Orientale Province in Northeastern DR Congo (that has about six other Lugbara clans), West of Terego, North of Ayivu and South of Koboko plus with ancestral links to neighbouring places such as Vurra, Madi a...
My oldest memory of Maracha is after 2001 when my parents moved from Kyebando Kisalosalo in KLA City to Arua before my paternal grandmother (Esita Yitiru) departed from Earth in 2004; I had visited her more than once.
Some of the things I have marvelled at in MRC include:
Alikua Pyramid
Lake Rokoze in Nyoro
Miriadua Falls in Kijomoro
