KOLA BINO OKUZIYIZA SSENNYIGA OMUKAMBWE

EBITONTOME KU SSENNYIGA OMUKAMBWE (Poems about COVID-19)

(1) OMULABE  ATUZINZE

Omulabe atuzinze,

Ate si waakusaaaga,

Era si waakunaanya,

Ye Kkolona nnamutta,

Ssennyiga omukambwe,

Era ddala nnamutta.

Okumanya omutyanga,

Alwana na mawuggwe,

Gonna n'agazinga,

Era n'aganyweza ,

Omukka n’oguwamma,

Obulamu n'obufiirwa .

Naawe vva mu  lusaago,

Ggyayo engabo eyo mwattu,

Omulabe omulumbe,

Omukube ssabbuuni ,

Ogatteko amazzi,

Wamma bubeefuke

Olutalo luno nno,

Terwetaaga kibundu,

Lulwane na ssabbuuni,

Ogatteko amazzi,

Engalo ozinaabe,

Kkolona omuwambe .

Naaba mu ngalo nno,

Onaabe mu ngalo ezo,

Ddamu nate ozinaabe,

Butikitiki abiri obwo,

Ng'onaaba mu ngalo  ezo,

Olutalo olulwanye .

Ate tokoma awo,

Engabo yo mutaasa,

Eri gye watuuma,

Tonkwatako gireete,

Omulabe omukange,

Era ddala omufunze.

Ennyindo togikwata ,

Amaaso togakwata,

Omumwa togukwata,

Ne mu ngalo tokwata,

Y'engabo lukuula,

Ng'omulabe omuwambye .

Tofuluma waka wo,

Okuggyako nga weekapise,

Ennyindo zisibe ezo,

N'emimwa nagyo omwo,

Tambula na bwomu ggwe,

Weewale ebiduula .      

Omulabe ng'akulumbye,

Sooka weesege ggwe,

Mu nju yo weebake omwo,

Basawo babaleete,

Ge magye amapange,

Gakutaase ogulwadde .

Namwe bakugu mmwe,

Mwebale okulwana,

Mufungize na maanyi,

Ebirezi mubireete,

Ddagala mulinoonye,

Omulabe mumuwambe .

Temulinda na Bazungu,

Mufungize bataata,

Namwe nno bamaama,

Mwakuguka mbatenda,

Mukozese obutonde,

Ddagala mulireete.

(2) GUNO MWENKANO NNABAKI

Baatulimba baatukisa,

Nti Kkolona k'atuuse,

Ssennyiga mukaabyansi,

Omugagga n'omwavu,

Bonna kati bafuuse omu ,

Era ddala bakaaba bumu,

Naye sooka weebuuze,

Guno mwenkano nnabaki !

Omugagga lw'atudde,

Akuyita kuwummulamu,

Yeeriire ku z'enkalira,

N'abaana bamwote buto,

Nga bwe basikaasika ebikoko,

N'okwenywera ku nvuguto,

Bawuge mu kidiba emmanju,

Ddala mwenkano nnabaki !

Omusaala baagusaze,

Nti ffenna tukaabe bumu,

Nti era tusinde bumu,

Mu mwenkano guno oguzze,

Ogwa Kkolona  gw'aleese,

Ssennyiga omukambwe ennyo,

Naye sooka weebuuze,

Guno mwenkano nnabaki!

Omusaala gwa binojjo oli,

Baasaze ku z'atereka,

Nti zaale zizaale nnyo,

Naye baabuwe omwavu,

Baasaze ku z'akamere,

Ku buffiizi bw'abaana,

Ez'obulwadde  lw'alwadde,

Ddala mwenkano nnabaki !

Ayi jjajja w'abaliwo,

Agabaagaba ebigagu,

Ebigoba Kkolona twabiyize,

Okunaaba twakuyize,

N'emimwa tunaagisiba,

N'ennyindo tunaazisiba,

Tonsemberera twamuyize,

Kye tusaba kutuddiramu.

Tukkirize tutambulemu,

Tuddemu tufeffette,

Tunoonye akasente ka leero,

Tuguleyo ku keewamala,

Era wamu n'obuweke,

Tutaase abato abakoozimba,

Kuba omwenkano oguzze,

Ddala mwenkano nnabaki !

(3) TUYIIYE BUTO

Mujje tubebbere,

Tuddemu tuyiiye buto,

Mujje tusambule,

Tuddemu tulwane buto .

Byonna bye twasiga,

Kkolona abitutte lumu,

Mujje tufungize,

Tuddemu tuteese buto .

Kalimu ko kali,

Kaddemu okapange buto,

Teekamu ebipya,

Kaddemu katinte buto .

Byamaguzi  bipya,

Ensabika ebeere mpya,

Okulatta kuleke,

Abaguzi obalumbe waka .

Ensibambi kimanye,

Nti nayo edibya mutere,

Yonja ky'olina,

Abantu kati beenyinyaze .

Tandika bupya,

Lumba ekigenderawo,

Mmere ,  byakunywa,

Obuyonjo bw'osooka .

Obwesigwa kikulu,

Be baguzi bo ab'enkya,

Obanyaga lumu,

Bonna ne bakuddukako .

Ensi kati k'ekyuse,

Byonna by'okola,

Tekinoloje abeemu,

Ge  magezi ag'ekikugu .

Lutalo lwennyini,

Kuzzaawo bye tufiiriddwa,

Buli ky'okola saba,

Omukama akukwatireko .

(5) MUKAMA SAASIRA

Mukama twasobya ,  era twakunyiiza nnyo,

Bikemo byatulya , era ggwe ne tukwerabira,

Naye nno twawubwa , tusaba otuddiremu .

Tuyambe twawubwa , omusango gutusinze nnyo ,

Masanyu gaatulya , eddiini ne tugyerabira,

Yeekalu zaawubwa , zaafuuka za kunoonya nsi .

Naye nno saasira totuleka kubungeeta,

Tutaase baabuwe  , gye tuli tuzaayirayo,

Kaakano twemenye , ddala ddala tugonze nnyo.

Endwadde zaatulya , enswanyu zituyinze nnyo,

Kkolona atuzinze ,  kibonerezo kikambwe nnyo,

Lugaba saasira , tusaba otuddiremu.

Ku Siriimu twaguma , ebbinu ne tulyongerayo,

Naye Kkolona haa , Mukama onyiize nnyo!

Sonyiwa twasobya , tugonze tutidde nnyo .

Kitiibwa kikuddire , Lugaba Mubambansi,

Tubadde twabula , ekkubo tulizudde buto,

Tuzze twavula , Kkolona atuyinze nnyo.

Tunoonye Mukama , tumusabe atuddiremu,

Kubanga wa buyinza ataleka ndiga ezibuze,

Atusonyiwe atutaase , ku Kkolona atususseeko .

(6) BW'OSSA BW'ANEGULA .

Empewo ya buwa,

Naye nno tugifudde butwa,

Kkolona n'agifuula maka,

Ssennyiga omukambwe ennyo,

 Bw'ossa bw'anegula.

Ennyanja ya buwa,

Nayo nno twagifunzizza,

Nnalubaale n'awaguza,

N'alumba n'atutwala bubi,

Bw'ossa bw'anegula.

Emigga gya buwa,

Twajooze ne gikambuwala,

Nyamwamba mutwala bafu,

N'abalamu abatwaliramu,

Bw'ossa bw'anegula.

Bisolo bya buwa,

Nabyo nno twabitambadde,

Ne tubiggyako Kkolona,

Ssennyinga omukambwe ennyo,

Bw'ossa bw'anegula.

Butonde bwa buwa,

Bwonna nno tubutaagudde,

Eyabutuwa ataamye,

Omukka tubaka mubake,

Bw'ossa bw'anegula.

(7) OMULABE ATALABIKAKO

Atambula amaga gy'oli anoonya ssente,

Atambula asotya gy'oli anoonya mmaali,

Bw'alengera ayita entiisa n'emuyiikira,

N'anoonya w'ayita yeetaase olunnabe,

Kuno kwe kutya okufuga obubi.

Omutambuze ayita oyo oluyasimula,

Ono n'ajjula ensisi ppuleesa ne zikuba,

Omulabe amutidde nnyo ku luno waakufa,

Basawo mwanguwe mujje mumponye okufa,

Kuno kwe kutya okufuga obubi.

Kiyegu gwe kyakutte ku muliraano gwe,

Oluggyayo akatambaala ono adduka buto,

Amala gapaala atyo yeewale okufa,

Omuzigo agusengukamu atere yeesege,

Kuno kwe kutya okufuga obubi.

Kaawonawo eyasiibuddwa bw'amulabako,

Akirako alabye omusota olwo ne yeesega,

Entuuyo ffukuffuku amameeme ne gakuba,

Entege ne zimwegaana ne yeekuba eddimwa,

Kuno kwe kutya okufuga obubi.

Omulabe gw'ayigga tamulabako,

Buli muntu gw'alabako ye mulabe we,

Olwo n'amaga wano n'amaga wali,

N'adduka wano n'adduka wali,

Kuno kwe kutya okufuga obubi.

Abasawo abazira abatujjanjaba,

Kkolona asize endwadde etuteganya,

Kuno kwe kutya omulabe atalabika,

N'enju tetuufulume nga mmugguddewo,

Mujjanjabe okutya tubeere balamu .

(8) OMULEMBE MUGGALIRE

Abafuzi ab'enkya kaakano bawambe,

Omulembe ogw'enkya guuguno ate muggalire,

Babatadde mu kkomera teri byakusaaga,

Bandibasiba amayisa bwe batataasibwa abo,

Abafuzi baleero babawambye babazinzeeko.

Okuyiga kwabwe mu ssomero kaakano kuwambe,

Akwana akira ayomba oyo naye akomye awo,

Babagulidde endwadde mpya obulamu kkoyi,

Abaana bali mu nkomyo , ekkomera lyennyini,

Omulembe ogw'enkya abaleero bagututte.

Abafuzi ab'enkya emibiri miwambe,

Endya embi n'endwadde bibawambye bassebo,

N'obutonde bw'abenkya babututte bannyabo,

Obuggagga bw'abenkya bugenze baabuwe,

Babusinze mu baamaanyi emyaka lukumi.

 Guno omulembe gwa ndwadde obulamu teri,

Bagufudde na ttyeetye ogudduka empewo,

Bagufudde gwa nsonyi nnyo guno ogwekweka okkola,

Gufuuse na mutiitiizi ogulwana n'empewo,

Mulembe gwa nsonyi nnyo guno ogudduka entalo.

Guno omulembe omuggalire ddala munaku,

Ebyagwo byonna byatundwa emyaka bikumi,

Guno omulembe muggalire ogw'enkya bassebo,

Baguwambye lwaleero ne gutundwa bannayabo,

Abaana b'ensi baggalire ani abanunula!

(12) EBIROWOOZO BYE BIGERE

Ssebo nnyini kkalantiini kankuloopere,

Bwe wassaawo kkalantiini otaase obulamu,

Yakwata bigere , birowoozo ne bigyewogoma,

Kati bye bitaayaaya , ebigere bitudde wamu .

Byangu okukira , n'ebigere tobizannyisa,

Ne biva kuno okwaffe , wuuyo Kasensero,

Ate era ne bitambulamu wuuyo Mulago,

Okulaba bakaawonawo , abawonye ekirwadde !

Okumanya bitaayaaya , byaguze ennyonyi nno,

Gye bibonga mu bbanga awatali abigamba,

Bitumbiira ne biseeyeeya biibyo wa Trump,

Okulaba abayaayaana ne be lukanudde.

Ebirowoozo kazaalabulwa nze kale mbitidde,

N'ewa Paapa byatuuse okulaba ebikuuno,

Ebyaggaza ne yeekaalu Omukama atubeere,

Nnamugereka Lugaba eyatonda Mwene !

Ebirowoozo kyewaggula ddala , atamanyi kkalantiini,

E China birambulayo, birabe ebikuuno,

Byavuddeyo bitidde nnyo , tebirwa kulwala,

Ssennyiga mukaabyansi , atamanyi binojjo !

Ebiroowoozo kazaalabulwa nze kale mbitidde,

Kye nva nkusaba obiggalire awatali kunaanya,

Biteekeko kkalantiini eri maama yaake,

Kubanga bwe binaalwala ani avumula !

(13) EMBOOZI Y'ABAAGALANA

Ebyembi bisekerwa nange kankulojjere,

Kkolona ky'akoze abaagalana tekirabwa,

Omukwano gwakalubye anti wuliriza,

Ssennyiga omukambwe ono bw'abasattiza .

Jane mukulike Kkolona oyo kattira,

Oli wa mulembe nnyo Kkolona akutya,

Omutima oguwangudde kaakati gugwo,

Ggwe sanitayiza wange gukuume tegufa .

N'omuwala n'alojja wamma ne lukoya,

Nange mwattu bw'owulira n'eno bwe kiri,

Bwe mbeera w'oli awo mbeera seefu,

Ggwe sanitayiza wange ankuuma seefu .

Ate abawala baatizze ne bayitawo,

Amateeka ga jjajja ge bakukubisa,

Nti tusooke wa dokita tubeere seefu,

Kkalantiini gyongereyo katulindeko .

Ate kiri ki John tokitya namu,

Ekyo COVID yennyini nange nkitya,

Bwe nkiraba nkigambirawo tonsemberera,

Weeyongereyo ate sanitayizi .

Olwo Joseph n'asinda n'abityebeka,

Nange kali  ka Jane nakasalayo,

Nakassa mu kkalantiini tekaliva namu,

Oyo Kkolona yennyini era namudduka .

 Ggwe sanitayiza wange gwe ntambula naye,

Weewale omuyoolerero tubeere seefu,

Baddereeva ba loole tebakukwatako,

Jjangu mwattu tweggalire tubeere seefu .
