Bilingualism


Swahili & English - so far the only time I've tried a bilingual poem...

Utafiti                                                Research

Watoto                                              Children
Na nguo kabichi ya skuli                    In green school uniforms
Wanafaraha                                       Are Happy
Na wanasema wengi,                        And talk much,
Wanataka mimi kupiga picha             Wanting me to take a photo
- Nakweya gari yangu                      - I climb onto my car
Kuona wote.                                     To see them all.
