A drop of zing!

Clapping and rocking,

Rocking and dancing, 

Mukulu mu ken ken ke,

Away from the maddening noise,

Away from the stumping noise,

It is dance of Hello,

Hello! here I come, with minstrels strings of zing,

Like rolling thunder the drum set stump,

Like Jazz and Hip pop,

Like Fuji, and Reggae, like Rock to Juju,

To the left, to the right, like this, like that,

An acrobatic dance of joy,

Mukulu Muken kenke 

With waist twisting and hands thrown up in the air,

Sweating, and jumping up and around the garden,

drenched in joy , drenched in well-seasoned joy!
