One Love, One Heart

Описание

Music can bring us together in wonderful ways! This video is a result of a collaboration between Youth Passionate Organization (YPO) in Kampala, Uganda and Rotary members from District 7780, Maine, USA. The song was produced over a weekend in March, 2014. Backing music and skillful editing are all thanks to the talents of Producah Kayz of Soul Touch Records. Thanks to Franz Sebuliba Hannington for filming the music video. Video edited by Curt Combar.

Transcript of the song:

SHARON:
If everything goes on well; we shall overcome the storm; hit wars to hell, victory shall be our home; we care for a wonderful world; its all about you !
everywhere you go...eeeeh kyaba too much like for Friends Forever, Youth Passionate and the Rotary Club....for God and my country

(Insight: In the above script ..."kyaba" is a luganda word that means "its" and eeeh is an expression commonly used in Uganda to express sympathy and sadness for something that has happened to some one. So the verse literally means "its too much like for Friends forever, Youth Passionate and the Rotary club ..for God and my country")

ABRAHAM:
(In an Eastern Uganda local language called Lusoga)

Bana abeeyo mukoba mutya? Aye eweife gyensuula tulibubi ino...Abantu abali awalala tibakagemagana. Amawanga ne diini balikulila
Eeyii yii bana.
Kibumba wandigye atuyambaa!!!!

(Translation: Hey my fellows over there, how are you doing? Here at our home, where I stay, we are starving. People that were united are disunited. Tribes and Religions are crying. Oooh my fellows,
GOD would have come and help us.)

MARY: Music is the answer, music is our friend, all around the world the music never ends. Friends in Uganda, friends in my heart, friendship lasts forever even though we are apart

MICHAEL: I'm happy when my friends are coming home, jah
All i need, is a friend that gives me hope, jah
I don't need a mother, I don't need a father, all I need is friends that trust me
We've been friends forever, takin' this forever, jah, jah bless and take this friendship

CHORUS: One love...

JENNIFER: I'm thankful for a friend like you are, I beat the drums while you play guitar
Our music is sweet, we rock to the beat
You are a friend that completes me

CURT: Take this time to get together, all over the world we make friends forever
The youth are starving, many are dying, we can make the peace if we just start trying

MARTY: Thankful for our friendship, thankful to the Lord, thankful for the beauty, the beauty of this world
Music is a language, a language we all share, music is the glue that shows us that we care

ROBERT (not present for the video. Micheal performed for him): from the day that we are born we start the hustle, little youth them dying, starving inna the ghettos,no where to sleep, no where to run, the game is hide and seek, everything harassing, the world is reversing

Chorus: One love...

ABDUL: I got a feeling inside my heart, one day we shine forever,
I have that touch inside my heart that make me smile forever,
Hu yeah, no no Africa yetu (our Africa) ,
We looking for peace and love that's where we wanna be......

DAVIS: (The local language is Luganda from the Buganda Kingdom of Central Uganda)

Munsoozi ne Nyanja mwetukuride. Ffe emitti emittto twegase ngatugumidde. Tunonya masanyu, tukooye ebyentalo... Africa ye Maama waffe

(Translation: In the mountains and the lakes where we are raised, we the young people have joined hands strongly and firmly...we are looking for joy and peace, we are tired of wars. Africa is our motherland.)

MAXWELL: (The local language is Lango from Langi people from Northern Uganda.)

Iwani iwan bulu mukare niba!! Watyeko neon can ilobo
Iwani iwan bulu mukare nibaa!!!!!!
Katwere biin ikony wa wunu

(Translation: We the youths of today. We should work so hard and avoid bad behaviours. Let's exploit our talents, play drums, respect our parents and GOD is the beginning of Wisdom.)

DAVID: Let's unite and we change the world
Use your talent, show it out
Help the needy, show them light
Brotherhood up, Apartheid down!

Chorus: One love...
