The song does appear to be from 1959/60 time and written by the Italians above. The words may be Swahili Madina kwenda Kilindini Docks = Madina to Kilindini Docks, (old city to KD).

The French version has variations on Coolie conduit moi KD - Coolie take me to KD.

The notes on the youbube Flo Sandon recording say that the tune is based on one of the tunes from the film Orpheu Negru (Black Orpheus), but I listened to the likely parts and failed to identify it from there.
