Obutalulunkana ♫ (Simplicity)

Obutalulunkana kwe kubeera omumativu n’ebirabo ebisinga omugaso mu bulamu.

( Simplicity is being content with the basic gifts of life.)

Tubeera mu bulamu obw’okwefumiitiriza era n’okufaayo, nga tumanyi ebyo eby’omugaso era n’ebyo ebitalina mugaso.

( We live reflectively and mindfully, aware of what is important and what is not.)

Tufaayo nnyo ku abo be twagala.

( We cherish those we love.)

Tukuuma ebyo byokka eby’omugaso oba ebirabika obulungi.

( We keep around us only what is useful or beautiful.)

Tuleka ebyo ebiyitirira, kafankunaaye era ebitukaluubirira oba ebigootannya.

( We let go of the excess, clutter and complexity.)

Obutalulunkanira bintu kituwa okulaba ekituufu era n’ekyo kussaako omwoyo.

( Simplicity gives us clarity and single pointed concentration.)

Busumulula emeeme zaffe okuva mu birowoozo ebitulwaza olw’okukola ennyo.

( It frees our minds from the stress of overdoing.)

Tusiima obuntu obutono, essanyu erya buli lunaku, era n’emikisa n'okubeera ab’ekisa.

( We appreciate the little things, daily joys, and opportunities to be kind.)

Obulamu bwaffe bwa kiseera kye tubeeranga tuli balamu era tunyumirwa ebyo ebirungi bye tuba nga tulaba n'amaaso.

( We live in the moment and savor what is right before our eyes.)

Tunyumirwa olw’okubeerawo obubeezi.

( We enjoy simply being.)
