In Mbale, upon Wanale
A squirrel makes his home

In a village, a Gishu village
The squirrel steals g-nuts
In a village, a Gishu village
The squirrel steals g-nuts – Chorus
V3
Nyondo farmers, they chase the squirrel
To save their g-nut crops
Nyondo farmers, they chase the squirrel
To save their g-nut crops

But the squirrel, the naughty squirrel
He laughs and runs away
He’s not worried, no he’s not worried
He’ll come another day – Chorus
Tsya iyoyo, tsya iyoyo, tsye yoyoyoyo
Tsya iyoyo, tsya iyoyo, tsye yoyoyoyo
