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)
