Leo ni kweli mimi sina, sijakataa (I do not deny it that I have nothing)

Aijuae kesho ya mtu, ni Mungu (Only God knows a person’s tomorrow)

Anayeinua wanyonge, yupo (The One who lifts up the weak is here)
Bado Mungu yupo na mimi (God is still with me)

Yusufu alionekana kama muota ndoto tu (Joseph seemed to be just a dreamer)

Hakuweza kuona kilicho mbele ya Daudi (They could not see what was ahead of David)
Ila Mungu aliona (But God saw)
Hawakueza kuona kilicho ndani ya Yusufu (They could not see what was inside Joseph)
Ila Mungu aliona (But God saw)
Macho yako hayaoni, nini kipo ndani yangu (Your eyes cannot see what is inside me)

Sasa nani angejua (Now who would have known)
Daudi atakuwa mfalme (That David would become a king)
Sasa nani angejua (Now who would have known)
Yusufu angekuwa waziri? (That Joseph would become a ruler?)
Ndugu zake hawakujua (His brothers did not know)
Kama Daudi atakuwa mfalme (That David would become a king)
Ndugu zake hawakujua (His brothers did not know)
Kama Yusufu atakuwa waziri (That Joseph would become a ruler)
Usinikatie tamaa (Do not give up on me)
Mimi usinivunje moyo (Do not lose your heart about me)
