KISWAHILI: MLAMBA UMANDE.

Chanzo cha methali hiyo chatokea kwenye ulambaji wa umande. Ulambaji huo wa umande, ni wa kiumbe kile ambacho hupita hovyo bila kujali uchafu kiupatao. Hata kwenye umande chenyewe hupita tu. Ndiyo maana watu hukiita, ‘mlamba umande.’

Methali hiyo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye ni mbakaji wa wanawake. Mbakaji huyo, huamuka mapema asubuhi ili aweze kuwanyemelea watu anaotaka kuwabaka. Ndiyo maana watu humwita mtu huyo kwamba ni ‘mlamba umande.’

Methali hiyo hufundisha watu juu ya kuacha tabia za ubakaji katika maisha yao, ili waweze kuishi kwa amani na wenzao.

ENGLISH: DEW SWALLOWER.

The source of the above saying comes from dewdrops. It is associated with someone who is careless in his/her doings.

This saying can be compared to a man who is a rapist. Such a person can wake up very early in the morning to eye for women he would like to rape. Since he wakes-up very early in the morning then he is prone to dew drops. This is why such people are being described by using the saying of ‘dew swallower.’

The saying teaches people about giving up the raping habit in order to live happily with others.
