Geoffrey Oryema

Geoffrey Oryema (born 16 April 1953) is an internationally renowned Ugandan musician. In 1977, at the age of 24 and at the height of Idi Amin's power, Oryema was smuggled across the Ugandan border in the trunk of a car, after the death of his father, Erinayo Wilson Oryema, who was a cabinet minister, beginning a life in exile. Today his songs keep alive the languages of his youth - Swahili and Acholi and return to the lost country - the 'clear green land' of Uganda. more »

Paint me a picture of a river
And let it flow
Just let it flow
It will flow and wash away our differences
And love will grow

You have the power to deliver
So let it flow

When I dip my hand into your water
I feel your soul

Nafikiliya Koruba Shamba

I'll build a fire by your river of metled stone
You can drink the silver of my moonlight
As our fire burns
The fire burns

I'll slide inside your silent water
Like polished stone

Then break the surface with a shiver
While the river flows
While the river flows

Nafikiliya Koruba Shamba

Paint me a picture of the river
And let it flow
Just let it flow
All across the deserts and the mountains
We'll let it go
Let it go
