Upendo ni dawa

A person carrying red apples next to a blue and white striped train car.

What am I supposed to do now?

I’m a Buddhist monk,

In the lifelong spiritual practice,

but I tasted the meat.


What am I supposed to do now?

I’m Adam

In this everlasting garden of Eden,

but I bit the apple.


What am I supposed to do now?

I’m forever punished

By the endless disease of self hate.


Suddenly, a sign appeared,

On the Makambako street,

It says “Upendo ni dawa”.-"Love is medicine"

Yes, I need the medicine,

It’s called love.
