According to the Comprehensive Swahili-English Dictionary by Mohamed A. Mohamed that I recently received, the word Malele means; orchella weed: lichens growing on trees in mangrove formations and coastal vegetation, used as a dye.Rochella tinctoria. You probably have an idea why I have started the above paragraph with the definition. For once, I heard the song, liked it but didn’t know what it means. That is strange since I am more than fluent in Swahili. Should that mean Malele is a new word in town? May be. Also I am mindful of the way languages develop. One word could have several meanings. Anyway…
