I heard this song recently and it stuck in my head for days. Last night I asked a social worker here if she knew the song. Not only could she sing it perfectly, but she wrote down the words for me and gave me my first official Swahili lesson!
Jambo (hello)
Jambo Bwana (hello mister)
Habari Gani? (how are you?)
Musuri Sana! (very well!)
Wageni (visitors)
Mwa Kari Bishwa (you are welcome)
Congo Yetu (Congo is ours)
Hakuna Matata! (no worries!)
The song is originally from Kenya. Here’s for a little listen. Beware, it’s very catchy! http://mwanasimba.online.fr/music/jambo.mp3
