- Description
- The two people mentioned in the song are imaginary and not actual people. "I will not say any more, Pitoria (sometimes pronounced Vitoria by the singers). For you have no teeth left. "Yes" she said, "but you Bitoni, when you come near you sound like Thomas, you make a noise like a motor car engine. When you laugh you make a noise like a maize mill." Pitoria was an old woman who was married to Bitoni. He told her she was now to old. Topical song with Nthikuri barrel drum.
