(Sung in Luganda, Zulu, Swahili and Bemba)
Chorus:
Tukutendereza,Tukutendereza Yesu (We praise you, we praise you Jesus) x2
Siyakudumisa, Siyakudumisa Yesu (We praise you, we praise you Jesus) – in Zulu
Tukutendereza,Tukutendereza (We praise you, we praise you Jesus) – in Luganda
Jina lako limetukuka juu, juu sana (Your name is praised on high) – in Swahili
Ndio maana ninakuabudu, nikisema tukutendereza (That is why I sing saying “praise you”)

Natotela, Natotela Tata wandi (I thank my Father)
Natotela, natotela (I give thanks, I give thanks)
Tata wandi Nalikutemwa (My Father, I love You)
Lesa wandi Nalikutemwa (My God, I love You)
Natotela, Natotela (I thank You)
(Chorus)
Uwepo wako upo nami baba, hauniachi (Your anointing is with me, it won’t leave me)
Hauniachi, ee baba yangu (It won’t leave my my Father)
Ndo maana ninakuinua, tukutendereza (That is why I lift you up in praise)
Natoteela, lesawandi na likutemwa (?)
natotela, Natoteela, tatawandi na likutemwa (?)
(Chorus)

The third language is Bemba (from Northern Zambia)
Natotela Lesa wandi (I thank my God)
Natotela Tata wandi (I thank my Father)
Natotela, natotela (I give thanks, I give thanks)
Nalikutemwa (I love You)
N:B Natotela can mean either of the following three depending on the context:
I thank, I give thanks or I’m grateful.
And the zulu part is supposed to be Siyakudumisa Jesu.
