MWINIKA PROVERB #20

September 25, 2011 by Phil and Elin Henderson

“Omwiina kirinkina onvenyera.” (To dance the kirinkina dance one has to get up.)

You can’t get what you want by daydreaming. You have to put in some effort. To dance you have to stand up and go join the dancing, you cannot participate sitting down. The Mwinika use this proverb when someone wants something but isn’t willing to put in the effort to get it.
