Kanyoni
[Verse}
You used to call me your little bird
“Kanyoni gakwa kainaga”
For when your spirits sank low, I’d sing them off the floor for you
[Verse]
The other birdies, yeah they told me
They saw you watching from the balcony
They want to bring you up here to help us spread the cheer of life
[Refrain]
You said, no, you’d never sang; you didn’t know and didn’t want to
[Verse]
And so we wrote a song for you;
We wrote it in a day or two
A song about birds that watch other birds sing tunes
[Chorus]
And it goes:
Oooh
We sang:
Oooh
[Verse]
You said you’d like to try to sing
Would anybody really listen in?
What if it wasn’t that great?
Or maybe it’s too late to learn something new
[Verse]
Thе other birdies will be listеning
And they will help you in a heartbeat
We want to bring you up here to help us spread the cheer of life
[Refrain]
We watched you close your eyes, spread your wings, get ready to fly
[Chorus]
And you sang:
Oooh
And we joined:
Oooh
[Outro]
This is a song I wrote for you
I hope you’re somewhere out there listening to your little bird and all the other birds sing too
You used to call me your little bird
“Kanyoni gakwa kainaga”
For when your spirits sank low, I’d sing them off the floor for you
[Verse]
The other birdies, yeah they told me
They saw you watching from the balcony
They want to bring you up here to help us spread the cheer of life
[Refrain]
You said, no, you’d never sang; you didn’t know and didn’t want to
[Verse]
And so we wrote a song for you;
We wrote it in a day or two
