As old as the hills
As beautiful as the hills
The hills of Kyulu
You have not toured Makueni or even Kenya
If you’ve not being to Kyulu
The hills that know it all from the times of the great famines
The famine of malake
The famine of yua ya ndeke
The famine of ngua ngwete
To the times of plenty
During the rains of elnino
The Kyulu hills
The hills past the Tindima and Kenzili hills
The hills that hide a lot of secrets
Ever heard of luma
The aardvark of luck
The animal that if you see you become rich
It has a home
Have you ever had of the treasure caves?
The caves that are also said to be long
And also haunted
Haunted by the ghosts that protect the hidden treasure
Have you seen the elephants of Kyulu
The enemies of the neighbour crops
The Kyulu…
