Sung in Mijikenda: Chela beat / rhythm ( Kenyan-Mijikenda)
8. Nikure (Chela beat) A hope to continue our journey in life, no matter how hard things may appear to be, you must focus with your journey in life, at the end of the tunnel there’s light.
It's far, very far indeed, the journey to Bamba is too far. That's the only place where I will buy my livestock.
Seems to be very far, everyone is rushing for a good deal. I will buy cows, goats, sheep. It's far but I will get there.
As in life we have needs, and though it takes effort and time you'll still acquire. Never give up on life, let the life give up on you.
Life seems to be a struggle, it's through struggles that we learn and make us become stronger, and once we master these signs, we become masters of our lives).
