Lala Salama
To the Masai Mara
And asante sana
Kichwa Tembo.
I'm going Oloololo
Back to the world where I'm from
Soon I'll be flying solo
On a heading that follows the sun.
Oloololo, Oloololo, 'loololo.
'Cause I've been down from Nairobi
Southeast of Kisumu
To the waiting savanna
Like a place that I once knew.
And the river was flowing
While the crocodile baked in the sun
With the elephant knowing
That a change had already begun.
Oloololo, Oloololo, 'loololo.
Oloololo, Oloololo
(Lala Salama) Oloololo (To the Masai Mara)
(And asante sana) Oloololo (To Kichwa Tembo)
