“Mungu Akileta Mtoto Analeta Sahani Yake” Is NOT What Sauti Sol Say In Their Nerea Song! This Is What They Exactly Say

Sauti Sol made headlines yet again when they collaborated with TPF 6 finalists Amos and Josh to release what has been described as 2015’s best hit, Nerea.

Many applauded their work while others bashed it saying it was one of those controversial songs that are overhyped because the singers are celebrated and deemed fit to release anything.

Nerea has been the talk in town and with many parodies from across the republic and beyond, this shows that it is a people’s favourite.

But many have been trying to sing out the song for themselves, bringing out different versions of the song.

The part that everybody has been missing is “Mungu akileta mtoto analeta sahani yake”. This is what all of us have been singing. We are all wrong.

In fact Sauti Sol and Amos and Josh do not say this in their song. Instead their song goes like, …Mungu akileta mtoto analeta SAA NI YAKE!

Well, now you know.

Here are the lyrics:

Verse 1(Delvin):
