(Sung in Zulu)

Kuye kwamemeza baprofethi emandulo (The prophets prophesied long ago)
Kumemeza abantu abadala kangaka (The elders are calling)
Webantwana kanisalaleni ngani (Children, listen and learn)
Umbiko wokuzalwa kenkosi uJesu (Their message is on the birth of Jesus)

Nansoke inkanyezi (The wise men)
enhle kunazozonke (Followed this star)
Eyalandelwa isiswe (That appeared)
Zivela empumalanga (in the East)

Baba/Mama, baba/mama wami; (Father/Mother, My Father/Mother)
Mama/Baba (hmm) Bhinc'(hmm) ibeshu lakho (Father/Mother, Your apron(?))
Simemeza ngazwi linyi (hmm) (We declare that which we know)
Sithi (hmm) Izelwe (hmm) (The word says that He is)
Inkosi Yamakhosi (The King of Kings) (Repeat)

Uquinsile umprofethi (The truth spoken by the prophets)
Yinhle kunazozonke (To the whole world)
Masiyindandeleni (Of that star)
Khona sizophumela (That we should follow) (Repeat)

Saqala Sabezwa besho (He first heard them tell us) x2
saze sabona nathi embhalweni (then we saw the writings)
{Sabe, sesiyakholwa, (Then we believed)
yilolo esikufundayo lithini ibhabeli} x? (What we read in scriptures) (Repeat)

Amen Halleluya Amen

Thank you Jesus, praise you Savior
We will bow to you till the end of time
Glory! Glory! Praise that speaks to you
We can never make it without you in our lives

Forever you are the king
Forever you are our Master
That is the reason we’re bowing down to you
Forever you’ll be the King
Forever you’ll be the Master

Yes its you; your love,
your kindness, your mercy
We have to lay (..?), everlasting love
We don’t have words enough
To thank you our Father
Here we are; your children
Singing praises to you

Rain Kenya, Swahili Gospel Lyrics , Leave a comment


(Sung in Swahili)

Kamba za mauti zilinizunguka mie (The chains of death surrounded me)
Mafuriko ya maovu yakanitia hofu (The flood of evil made me afraid)
Kamba za mauti zilinizunguka mie (The chains of death surrounded me)
Mitego ya mauti ikanikaribia mimi (The trap of death neared me)
Niliona shida,Niliona taabu (I saw trouble, I saw suffering)
Nikakuita Bwana wangu na wewe ukaitika (I called you my Lord, and you answered)

Kumuacha Bwana sio kuzuri Baba/Mama yangu (Leaving Him is not good dad/mum) x2
Nilimuacha mimi, nilipata shida/taabu (I left Him and suffered/troubled) x2
(Repeat)

Nikakimbia kimbia kwake Yesu/Baba (So I ran to Jesus/Father) x2

(Refrain)  +  (Verse)
