MY SOMEONE ELSE'S LOVER.

Poet: Gitau wa Kung'u

                          If only memories could serve,

                         Nice, happy, favourite memories, 

                         How beautiful would life be!

                         How charming would it be!

                         But can't be now, never, lover,

                         I can't help but sympathise,

                         Coz you ruined it, yes,

                         My someone else's lover!

                         The days we used to spend,

                         Near the river bank, 

                         Then splash water on each other,

                         Wishing the birds would sing,

                         Melodiously to us forever,

                         Then we would paint a picture of us,

                         Do you remember it's beauty,

                         My someone else's lover?

                         The days we would enjoy,

                         Ugali lala with turungi

                         And you would offer into my mouth,

                         Like a piece of wedding cake,

                         Do you remember, 

                         The promises broken by you,

                         This my heart broken by you,

                         My someone else's lover?

                         Greed is a demon I say,

                         The mother of all corruption,

                          In the guise of better, rich life,

                          Where money was surplus,

                          And dates sweeter in restaurants,

                          With nothing but luxury and pleasure,

                          More than I could offer, remember?

                          My someone else's lover?

                          No darkness lasts forever,

                          Here I'm a picture we painted together,

                          Only that your brush saw it was better,

                          And fit to paint somewhere else,

                          But why do I see regretful tears?

                          Didn't you fit in the other frame?

                          I'm sorry but what can I do,

                          My someone else's lover?
