Video: Ngwatilo - "July"
July is the single from Ngwatilo Mawiyoo's new album "Introducing Ngwatilo," released in July 2011
July
We crave the sun this time of year
we dream of rays caressing the face
of sleeveless Joy playing kati at noon;
barefoot, bare kneed, carefree on grass.
We hear the radio speak of doom
of torrents of rain, of none at all. Still
we slumber on khangas and dream
of grass underneath, green and thick.
Nairobi's stream will be clean again
-- clean to drink, to watch and wade in --
and on its banks grass will grow,
or else even we shall cease and sleep.
