KWANO MUKWANO [Intro] [Afro-pop guitar, warm log drums, crowd chants] Eh eh eh… Kwano Mukwano… Home is home… Muthengo Mudau’s njoka… Eh yah yah yah… [Chorus] Other ladies try me, But I say yay yay yay, Far from me, please be far away. I got an angel and a warm bed at home anyway. Kwano Mukwano, Home is home, I know. No matter where the road may go, My heart always finds its way back home. [Verse 1] I work in cities far away, Chasing bread almost every day. Sleeping in rooms that don’t know my name, But every sunset feels the same. Then I take one drink, maybe two or three, And suddenly your face comes back to me. The way you laugh, the way you pray, The way you chase my fears away. People say I’m a mess sometimes, A wandering soul with a restless mind. But every road and every mile, Leads me back to your beautiful smile. [Pre-Chorus] I may stumble, I may fall, You still answer when I call. When the world says I’ve lost my way, You’re the reason that I stay. [Chorus] Other ladies try me, But I say yay yay yay, Far from me, please be far away. I got an angel and a warm bed at home anyway. Kwano Mukwano, Home is home, I know. No matter where the road may go, My heart always finds its way back home. [Verse 2] I may be a drunkard, Kwano Mukwano, But my love for you is something I know. You treat me like a king somehow, Even when I don’t deserve it now. You iron my worries, fold my pain, Dance with me through sunshine and rain. You see the man behind the flaws, And love me without any cause. Many beautiful faces passing by, Trying to catch this wandering eye. But all I see is your sweet face, The only woman I can never replace. [Bridge] Eh mama, my angel girl, You’re my shelter from the world. When the bottle speaks too loud, Your voice still rises through the crowd. And when I’m tired and feeling low, There’s only one place I wanna go. Not the city lights that shine above, Just home… and the woman I love. [Final Chorus] Other ladies try me, But I say yay yay yay, Far from me, please be far away. I got an angel and a warm bed at home anyway. Kwano Mukwano, Home is home, I know. Muthengo Mudau’s njoka, You’re the treasure that I hold. I may be working far away, Thinking about you every day. I may be a drunkard, Kwano Mukwano, But you’re the reason I always come home. [Outro] Kwano Mukwano… Home is home… My heart belongs to you alone… Eh yah yah yah… Home is home…
