It means "come back" in Swahili

This a bit bitter feeling in me, mixed with giving up,

mixed with shades of sadness,

is covered with a smile.

 

The autumn is sneaking into town.

 

I'm thinking about the past,

about the shooting ranges,

fighting places,

dancing halls.


I don't see what will come next,

I don't see anything at all.

 

The dream I had for two of us eating ice cream at the river bank,

looking at the city lights on the other side,

while the night is falling...

 

I guess I will have to put them aside 

with all my failed fantasies.

 

The autumn is sneaking into this town.

The feeling of loneliness resides

For a long time.

 

...Too long.
