Naku Penda Piya-Naku Taka Piya-Mpenziwe

Michael Jakson in motion
Naku Penda Piya-Naku Taka Piya-Mpenziwe
If you are wondering what the hell is "Naku Penda Piya-Naku Taka Piya-Mpenziwe" then
I bet you have heard Michael Jackson's "Liberian Girl" at least once. The hit song "Liberian Girl" starts with this prase "Naku Penda Piya-Naku Taka Piya-Mpenziwe". The meaning of this phase is "I love you too - I want you too - my love". The "Liberian Girl" was written by Michael Jackson and It was dedicated to his friend Elizabeth Taylor.

Watch "Liberian Girl" on YouTube!
