The Queen of Maine: Music Is The Answer

Here is the music video we made with YPO. Please take the time to read the lyrics. The message these kids have to share is truly astounding.

Music is the Answer

SHARON: If everything goes on well; we shall overcome the storm; hit wars to hell, victory shall be our home;
We care for a wonderful world; it's all about you, everywhere you go...
Eeeeh, kyaba too much! Like for Friends forever, Youth Passionate and the Rotary Club....for God! and my country

insight
In the above script ..."kyaba is a luganda word that means its" and eeeh is an expression commonly used here (Uganda) to express sympathy and sadness for something that has happened to some one. so the verse literally means
"its too much like for Friends forever, Youth Passionate and the Rotary club ..for God and my country"

ABRAHAM:
(The local language is called LUSOGA from Eastern Uganda.)

Bana abeeyo mukoba mutya? Aye eweife gyensuula tulibubi ino...Abantu abali awalala tibakagemagana. Amawanga ne diini balikulila
Eeyii yii bana.
Kibumba wandigye atuyambaa!!!!

Translation: Hey my fellows over there, how are you doing? Here at our home, where I stay, we are starving
People that were united are disunited, Tribes and Religions are crying
Oooh my fellows, GOD would have come to help us

MARY: Music is the answer, music is our friend, all across the world the music never ends
Friends in Uganda, friends in my heart, friendship lasts forever even though we are apart

MICHAEL: I'm happy when my friends are coming home, Jah
All i need, is a friend that gives me hope, Jah
I don't need a mother, i don't need a father, all i need is friends that trust me
We've been friends forever, takin' this forever, Jah, Jah guide and take this friendship

CHORUS: One love, one heart
Let's be friends forever and feel alright
One love, one heart
Let's be friends forever and feel alright

JENNIFER: I'm thankful for a friend like you are, I beat the drums while you play guitar
Our music is sweet, we rock to the beat
You are a friend that completes me

CURT: Take this time to get together, all over the world we make friends forever
The youth are starvin', many are dyin', we can make the peace if we just start tryin'

MARTY: Thankful for our friendship, thankful to the Lord, thankful for the beauty, the beauty of this world
Music is a language, a language we all share, music is the glue that shows us that we care

ROBERT: From the day that we are born we start the hustle, Little youth them dyin' ,starvin' in the ghettos,
No where to sleep no where to run, the game is hide and seek,
The world is reversing, everything harassing

Chorus: One love...

ABDUL: I got a feeling inside my heart, one day we shine forever,
I have that touch inside my heart that make me smile forever,
Hu yeah, no no Africa yetu (our Africa) ,
We looking for peace and love that's we wanna be......

DAVIS: (The local language is Luganda from Buganda Kingdom of Central Uganda)

Munsoozi ne Nyanja mwetukuride. Ffe emitti emittto twegase ngatugumidde. Tunonya masanyu, tukooye ebyentalo... Africa ye Maama waffe

Translation: In the mountains and the lakes where we are raised, we the young people have joined hands strongly and firmly...we are looking for joy and peace, we are tired of wars. Africa is our motherland.

MAXWELL: (The local language is Lango from Langi people from Northern Uganda.)

Iwani iwan bulu mukare niba! Watyeko neon can ilobo
Iwani iwan bulu mukare nibaa!
Katwere biin ikony wa wunu

Translation: We the youths of today. We should work so hard and avoid bad behaviours. Let’s exploit our talents, play drums, respect our parents and GOD is the beginning of Wisdom.

DAVID: Let's unite and we change the world
Use your talent, 'n show it out
Help the needy, show them light
Brotherhood up, apartheid down

CHORUS: One love, one heart
Let's be friends forever and feel alright
One love, one heart
Let's be friends forever and feel alright

One love, one heart
Let's be friends forever and feel alright
One love, one heart
Let's be friends forever and feel alright
