BY COUNCILLOR D.K KAMAU AND THE LULUS BAND 1977

Mundu e gukura ona angiyoga na nyaigi
Ee gukura nia kura
Angikumutha no oirire thakame, miatuka ndingithira
Tondu miatuka yo ukuru ndingithira ona ingihakwo ngorono.

(When one becomes old ,even bathing with herbs is useless,
Once you become old, you are old.
If an old person scrubs s/he can only bleed, cuts on his feet cannot disappear
Because the cuts on his feet cannot go even after being smeared with animal fat)

chorus
Ukuru ( kurura) ukuru wakura niwakura
Once you grow old, you are old.

Irio ciakura ni kugethwo igethagwo nduitura uri munini
Mundu ndombitwo ta nyoka eyunurage rua riria rwakura

When food matures it is harvested, you wont be forever young
Man was not created like a snake to renew his skin

Koruo ni gwika undu ika riu urehota wakura ni wakura
Ndukoige ugeka ruciu kana ugeka oke na juma itagakinya

If you are doing something do it today, when you are strong
Do not postpone to tomorrow, the day after or a Saturday that will never come.

Koruo ni kuhika kana kuhikania weru ukwenda mbia hiu,
Yahitia mukwakaba ikirume nganangu , wetagirira kii?
Waga kwihika ukerorerwo ni ukuru na ndukona mukwariria x2

If its marriage, the field requires a quick rat
If it does not bite the strap, then it’ll bite the ear
If you do not marry in your youth, you will grow old and no suitor will talk to you

Maria,
And this song that she wrote seems so appropriate for someone departing, even the signature proverb.

There's one that went something like this ....

Nana kaba ungikunjirite

Rudi mpenzi Nana
baridi inaniua

If u've never heard the one above, what abt this one by Rugwiti?

Did you know that kikuyu musicians of the '90s had a problem of copying one another when their songs reached climax? They all had to say something like this.........

Kurrrrrrrrr ya! ya! ya!
