Malaria

Malaria! Malaria! Malaria!

What a killer disease you are

No mercy to all kinds of people

The big, the small, the rich, and the poor ones

Where did you come from?

Malaria! Malaria! Malaria!

What a killer disease you are

You took away my loved ones

My sister, my brother, and my granny

All died of you

Oh, malaria!

Malaria! Malaria! Malaria!

The government has invested in you

But I still fall sick of you

The beautiful and the ugly fear you

Why can’t you leave us?

Malaria! Malaria! Malaria!

What a bad disease you are

Killing important people in our country

You make a disservice to our country

Whom do you love, really?

Malaria! Malaria! Malaria!

What a bad disease you are

You cause absenteeism in the school

You make pupils fail to reach their successes

How rude you are.

I am going to join the rest to fight you

Sleeping under mosquito nets

Slashing away tall bushes

Closing windows early

Together, we can fight the Anopheles

We can create a malaria-free Namutumba district

And a malaria-smart Uganda

Malaria! Malaria! Malaria!

You are a global pandemi.c

Killing is your mission

Destruction of humans is your target

You will wipe out the whole generation if you are not stopped

Why, Malaria, are you in our community?

Spreading your poison through mosquito bites

Causing headaches and shivers

Weeping and Wailing

Now, a routine event everywhere

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Sleeping under a treated mosquito net is a solution

Draining away stagnant water and slashing tall bushes

Is a good method

Practice them and chase away malaria

I know we can all fight against you

Oh malaria

Fighting malaria begins with me!

Fighting malaria begins with my home!

Fighting malaria begins with my community!

Fighting malaria begins with my district!

Fighting malaria begins with my country!

For God and My Country.
