Longing

[Joseh Njuguna]

I will cross the river and the source to reach you,
Through treacherous waters, and mountains too
For you are the one who sets my heart aflame,
And I cannot bear to be away, it's such a shame.

Don't leave me, for I cannot bear to be alone,
Without your light, my life would be
thrown
Into darkness, despair, and endless
pain,
So please stay by my side, and love me again.

I sitaki utegamano, I don't want any
doubt,
That what we share is true, and will
never run out
For my love for you is pure, and forever will be,
And I hope that you feel the same, and always see.

If you leave me, I will commit kifo
kisimani,
For life without you, is like a broken symphony
And I cannot bear to live, without your touch,
So please stay with me, and never leave me as such.

I want to see you only half a day, when the sun is high,
For the warmth of your embrace, makes my heart sigh
And when the sun goes down, and the stars twinkle bright,
I want to be near you, and hold you
tight.

That's why we can travel overseas, my love,
For nothing can keep us apart, not even the stars above
For I am the whale rider, and you are my guiding light,
Together we'll conquer the world, and make everything right.
Joseph
