Dai Ndiri Shiri by Mgcini Nyoni

Model - Mary Kapumha

Dai ndiri shiri*

ndaibhururuka**

To a place peaceful

a place of still waters

and peaceful  dreams

Dai ndiri shiri

I would fly

to the place

where maidens

dance in the rain

and there is

always a pot

of gold

at the end

of the rainbow

Dai ndiri shiri

I would fly

to the sky

and grab

all the illusive

dreams

and opportunities

so that I can sing

I can

Ndai ndiri shiri

ndaibururuka

to that place

of still waters

that sooth the soul

from the this

tortuous world

that threaten

to swallow me whole

Dai ndiri shiri...

*Dai ndiri shiri – if I was a  bird

**Ndaibhururuka – I would fly

I Dream Of Africa by Mgcini Nyoni

I dream of Africa

The open space

that tell of endless possibilities

the mesmerising beauty

the black beauty

of the women in

lovely head wraps

and colourful bangles

that tell you

You are home

I dream of Africa

where every woman

is a queen

I dream of Africa

where the smiles are

as big and lovely

as the African sunrise

the hearts as big

as the Kilimanjaro

and as vast as the Atlantic

I dream of Africa

where the woman are

full of

tender loving care.
