Ning Wendete

Lyrics - Kikuyu

(Kenyan folk song)

Gwendete, dunyendete, niun duki? (repeat)
Ning wendete, dunyendete, niun duki?
In gwendete? dunyendete, niun duki?
Akorodunyenda, Niwega unjereh.

I love you, but you do not love me. How is that?
If you do not love me, you had better tell me so. (source) (source)

I think it’s Kikuyu. If you click on the sources under the translation, you can find where I learned the translation.
