“Mwaki” is a Kikuyu word that means fire. In the song, Sofiya Nzau sings about her dad, who is against her getting married. So she cautions her lover to vacate before her dad’s knowledge. Na nīguo mūthee akoragwo mwaki (And the way my father is hot-tempered) Na nīanjīrīte ndigakūhikie (He had told me not to marry you) Anyona mūciī nīekūrakara (When he sees me home, he will get mad) Nake arakara ye ndahotaga (And when he get’s mad he is uncontrollable) No, no, no uthamire (You just have to vacate) Mwanake, mwanake no, no uthamire (Young man, young man you must vacate) Na nīguo mūthee akoragwo mwaki (And the way my father is hot-tempered) Na nīanjīrīte ndigakūhikie (He had told me not to marry you) Anyona mūciī nīekūrakara (When he sees me home, he will get mad) Nake arakara ye ndahotaga (And when he get’s mad he is uncontrollable) No, no, no uthamire (You just have to vacate) Mwanake, mwanake no, no uthamire (Young man, young man you must vacate)

Wow! So proudly Kikuyu right now!!❤️❤️ It's Mwaki!🔥🔥🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

I feel lucky hearing my mother language being celebrated around the world 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

the joy of hearing your mother tongue hit across the world in a song aptly called fuego....thank you Zerb for the beat and Sofiya for your beautiful voice (kinyira hau) 🔥🔥 🇧🇷🇰🇪

This song is going to be in top charts around the globe in foreseeable future, pure banger

Who came from shazam

I'm a 2x 2:44h marathoner, a running coach and both my trainees and I train with this awesome upbeat song in our speed sessions, feeling like flying. Thanks for contributing such a beautiful song to the world!

This is a completely extraordinary sound We need more of this Kenyans in this particular language not swahili😂 Listening from Uganda 🇺🇬🥳🥳🥳

*Lyrics Translation* And the way my dad is FIRE (short tempered) And he had told me not to get married to you If he finds me at home he will be very upset And if he gets upset he is unstoppable Now, now, now, young man, you must relocate *Lyrics Meaning* My dad had warned me of getting married to you, but i did it anyway Now that you don't want me anymore, am going back home When he finds me home, he will be very upset with you and he will come from you. now the gal is advising his guy on the only option is to migrate, relocate or leave the place otherwise his wrath or anger will rain on you NB: The language used in the song has different dialects and people who speak the language tend to use euphemismus, speak in short forms, and parables euphemismus examples: "Mwanake" which means "A Young Man" or a "Teenager" "Muthee" is "Old Man" but may be used to mean "Dad" depending on who is being addressed *Mwaki" is "Fire" may be used to describe "Hot", "Temper", or even "Beauty" Edit: The lyrics is a fine description on how Fathers from this tribe are protective and no nonsense to their daughters when marriage issues are concerned. And also shows how they want only good men married to their daughters. its the same as "marriage by the gun in USA" if you know what that means

🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪the pride of Africa..Kenya my home Kenya Africa my land 😢😢😢Sofia you really had a breakthrough cant believe that our own vanaculer language can such be a hit in the world ❤❤❤🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪😊😊

It's amazing how the world appreciates something unique, while we take our native languages for granted. There's alot we can do with what we have, and this song is a testament to that. Mwaki 🔥 is beautiful

This is a masterpiece that deserves all accolades and a public holiday to celebrate and it should be played on all Kikuyu radio stations every hour for the next 1 year. Actually, it should be played before the prime news. Thank you.

Straight from tiktok. This song is a masterpiece!! It’s giving me goosebumps 🔥🔥 I know I can listen to it 5 years from now and still not get over it 🙌🏽

Greetings from Lithuania! 🇱🇹🇱🇹 Perfect song for my soul refresh!

Greetings from Turkey 🇹🇷 , thanks to zerb for flying us with headphones ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

volume up, headphones on, close your eyes & move to the rhythm. you are in heaven. Amazing!!! I can see this hitting the top of the charts

Most kikuyu dads are fire, very hot tempered and always against who the daughter chooses to marry, Kikuyus in the house we are feeling this song in another level.

This song and vocals are part of my daily routine. It sounds uplifting and drives your emotions to the next level. The entire track from start to finish is put together magnificently, like movies with sequels, the original will always prevail over what comes next. Whatever remix you listen to, you will always know ZERB is the king of the Realm when it comes to this song. Thank you for creating this masterpiece.

wow my native language Gikuyu.... I rock with it like fire (mwaki 🔥) 🇰🇪 ... Zerb and Sofiya Nzau deserve their flowers.

When the words are your mother tongue your very first words, it slaps way harder... currently around mt. kenya, drinking locally brewed coffee with some muratina, with the view of the ice-capped mountain in the background. Thaai!

Fell in love immediately I heard it. 🔥🔥

Guys, let's give this song the justice it deserves. I'm really impressed.

Damn I cant stop listening on repeat. Her voice is so emotive and filled with emotion that conveys much meaning without knowing the lyrics, Then his deep beautiful voice comes in. Makes me want to dance on a warm evening with people out in the open somewhere. This track is sublime.

*Song Lyrics* My dad is hot tempered He had insisted that I shouldn't be with you If he finds me at home, he'll get mad _I guess here she means if he finds me with you_ And if he gets mad he's unstoppable You have to go/run Note that this is rough translation and doesn't do the poetry in the song justice Eg the direct translation of the first line should be my dad is fire, to mean that he's way past hot tempered, he's the actual fire

Mwaki….fire!!!🔥 congrats
