Mama Rhoda lyrics loosely translated thanks to Dancing yaks

It's like you never loved me; would you just explain it to me?
I'm so hurt and miserable that you'd abandon me.
Rhoda is crying. She says you're leaving me.
And I cry, too. Mama Rhoda, you're throwing me away.

Chorus:
Mama Rhoda, you say you're leaving me.
Mama Rhoda, you'll remember me.
Mama Rhoda, you say you're leaving me.
Mama Rhoda, you'll remember me.

You'd say it's all my fault
to be left all on my own.
For many years you were my only thought,
but you've been wasting my time.

Listen!

Mama Rhoda, I'm crumbling,
I'll give you whatever it is you want,
a better deal than what anyone else could give.
Chameleone ntakufata (I don't know what this line means).

Chorus

A bridge in Kihaya (a Ugandan language that I don't understand).

I want it to be you and me, baby.
I'll give you what you want, lady.
Rhoda, you drive me crazy (this line is in English).
Where ever you go, you'll remember me.

Chorus

Mama Rhoda, I'm crumbling,
I'll give you whatever it is you want,
a better deal than what anyone else could give.
Chameleone ntakufata (I don't know what this line means).

Chorus

Where ever you go, you'll remember me.

Chorus

It's like you never loved me; would you just explain it to me?
I'm so hurt and miserable that you'd abandon me.
Rhoda is crying. She says you're leaving me.
And I cry, too. Mama Rhoda, you're throwing me away.

This is a great song! Im surprised it is not part of my Chameleone collection, it must be attained soonest. I actually really like Chameleone's videos, they have cute storylines, but as for that Mama Rhoda and pushing him. Eh! Nabikoowa nange! hehehehe. That roasted maize though...mmmmm!

So what languages does Chameleone sing in? Are all his songs in Swahili?

I love Chameleone's videos too, I am sucker for videos with stories :-)

Chameleone cut his teeth as a musician in Kenya (generally outside Uganda). Rumour has it, maybe Chameleone can confirm or deny this one, that he mostly sings in Swahili to appease the Kenyan fans who supported him when he launched his career and also because they were his first audience and support when he was first coming alongside the likes of Redsan (Kenya). Most of his hits have all been in Kiswahili.

His current hit, Katupakase, is not in Swahili though, I think it is in Luganda.

great song by the chameleon lov it
