Am Not Your Enemy
Music is one of the greatest revolutionary tools. Having the tools does not necessarily mean that you will always get the desired results, but at least you are guaranteed some results. In this new song that was done by Paddyman of Audio1 Studios in Kampala, the heart of Bobi Wine is captured in a cry. Here are some of the main pointers that you might have overlooked in this song.
Freedom of Speech (King Saha)
The song is introduced with a cry for freedom of speech. King Saha says that they are accusing him, yet he is innocent. He only says what he sees. But instead of people looking at the person doing the evil that is being highlighted, they are instead coming for him as though he is the one committing the crime that he is simply seeing and speaking about.
Someone would ask, why don’t you just keep quiet? The response was very simple, we are in the same boat, we are trying or doing our best to save the boat from sinking.
Chorus: Am not Your Enemy
The chorus is mainly addressed to the armed personnel. It says that I may not be your friend but do not take the absence of friendship for an enemy. I am not your enemy. We are in the same boat, am just speaking of what I see. You look at me with an evil eye because I have talked about corruption!
Nubian Li (Highlights of The Things That Are Going Wrong)
Nubian Li says that the whole system is dead. Nothing is working. Then he goes further to say that the prisons are full, hospitals are poor, roads are poor, payments are poor and in regard to the poor roads, he highlighted the recent road floods.
Bobi Wine (If Only You Could See What I see)
Bobi Wine says that we are fighting for the future. If your eyes open, you will see what I see. Last time it is me who tipped you off not to fall in the ditch but after saving you from that tragedy, you have now forgotten.
Here are the Lyrics Of The Song
Kano Kange Naawe
Don’t blame the one who exposes crime!
Blame the one who commits the crime!
Well indeed pon dis one is me again
alongside Nubian and the King!
King aling aling

Sing!
Bali Kunanga bwereere
Bakagwa bye mbona bye nkoba!
Ah-haaaa…
Nze bye ndaba bye njogera!
I say what I see!
I may not be your friend,
Tontu nuulira bubi!
But I am not your enemy!
Nkugamba naawe ky’olaba!
I may not be your friend
Tuli mu lyato lye limu
But I am not your enemy!
Ntaasa Lyato Kubbira
System yonna yafa!
Buli kimu tekikola
Amakomera go gajjula!
Bidadde bwebityo emyaka ana!
Yee!
Ontunuulira bubi
Kuba njogedde ku nguzi
Ate ng’etukola bubi ffembi
Weefudde wa kabi
Bakutuma n’ompisa bubi
Weefudde na mulamuzi mu nsi!
Listen my yute!
Nze oluusi ensi eno ensobera
Gwobuusa ng’olaba atomera
Gwosanga enkya ng’azalawa
Ng’agamba gundi ayogera
Ba gundi nammwe mweddeko!
Future wa uparu piire
Amaaso go bwe geggula
My friend, you will see what I see
I may not be your friend,
Tontunuulira bubi!
But I am not your enemy!
Nkugamba naawe ky’olaba!
I may not be your friend,
Tuli mu lyato lye limu
But I am not your enemy!
Ntaasa lyato kubbira
Be twesiga nga baasoba!
Nga baasoba!
Beeyisa ng’abataayiga!
Pulaani zo ze twabawa
Eh!
Pulaani zonna baazirya!
Imagine!
Amasomero mabi
N’amawlaliro mabi
Abakozi ensasula mbi
yiiyiii?
Enguudo mbi,
Jjukira amataba luli.
Ngamba tufungize bikyuke!
Bano abayibi balina ogolola
Baluwera tibakasobola
Tibamaanyi kutudhogereza
Baguumaaza kutudongowaza
eno future gye tulwanira
Budde bwe tutaayiza
Amaaso go bew geggula
My friend you will see what I see
I may not be your friend
Tontunuulira bubi!
But I am not your enemy!
Nkugamba naawe ky’olaba
I may not be your friend
Tuli mu lyato lye limu
But I am not your enemy
Ntaasa Lyato Kubbira
I may not be your friend
Tontunuulira bubi
But I am not your enemy
Nkugamba naawe ky’olaba!
I may not be your friend
Tuli mu lyato lye limu
But I am not your enemy!
Ntaasa lyato kubbira
Tontunuulira bubi
Tuli mu lyato lye limu
Kye ndiko era ky’oliko
Ntaasa lyato kubbira
Tonjogerera bubi
Tuli mu lyato lye limu
Ebitunyiga era bye bimu
Ntaasa lyato kubbira
