- Description
- "Tungusa chipembele mwela mucalo tungusa bali twamba bali naka muchalo chabene." "I have got 'white hair with wings' in a strange world but I am sorry that I am very fat and cannot fly." The meaning of this appears to be that the singer is a stranger in a strange land, with no friend and nowhere to go. The phrase 'white hair with wings', they say, is local saying or proverb. Wistful song with guitar and bottle.
