Jambo, Jambo!

Lyric Translation:
Jambo, Jambo Bwana           Hello, hello Sir,
Habari Gani,                         How are you,
Mzuri Sana                           Very Fine.

Wageni, Mwakaribishwa     Foreigners, You're welcome,
Kenya Yetu Hakuna Matata  In our Kenya there is no problem.

He is only singing part of the song but I thought I'd add a couple other lines so it makes more sense!

"The Mayor" Ochieng- is such a character and big part of my everyday Smile life. He is almost always the first one to greet us and all day I can hear his voice yelling, laughing, crying, or whatever. He seems to be everywhere all day and I don't know how he does it, which is why he was given the nickname "Mayor. He knows everything and is everywhere all the time.
He comes from a very tough home life. His mother is an alcoholic and he doesn't have a father around. He has several other siblings and they all have different fathers. Despite his living conditions he usually always has a smile on his face. He may get on my nerves sometimes but...I will miss this little guy.
