1 Comment


(Sung in Swahili)

Chorus:
Hosanna, Haleluya, Hosanna (x4)
(Hosanna, Hallelujah, Hosanna)

Eh mataifa yote yamekusanyika kusema Hosanna
(All nations have convened to say Hosanna)
Mwana wa Daudi ndiye yule yuaja kwa mapendo wake (?)
(The son of David is the one who is coming with his love)
Yuaja (Kwa ujira wake), Ye huyu (mbarikiwa)
(He is coming (for his harvest), He is the one (The Blessed One))
Yuaja (kwa jina la Bwana), na tuseme Hosanna
(He is coming (in the name of the Lord), so we say Hosanna)

(Chorus)

Nikitazama ndege wa angani; hawapandi wala kuvuna
(When I look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap)
Na wewe Baba wa mbinguni; huwalisha kila siku
(And you Father of Heaven; you feed them everyday)
Na mimi najua utanilisha na kunivisha
(And I know that you well feed and clothe me)
Ndiposa ninasema, Hosanna
(That is why I say, Hosanna)
Ndiposa ninasema, Hosanna
(That is why I say, Hosanna)

(Chorus)

Yeye ndiye (Yesu!), Yeye ndiye (Yesu!) x2
(He is (Jesus!), He is (Jesus!))
Twasema (Hosanna), Twasema (Hosanna) x2
(We say (Hosanna!), Twasema (Hosanna))
Cheza, cheza….
(Dance, dance….)

Oh my God I cry (in the daytime)
And you answered nigh(?)(and in the nighttime)
I’m not silent, and don’t find rest
But you are Holy, you who dwell in the Holy place
Where the praises of the Lord reigns (Repeat)

Oh give thanks unto the Lord
For his mercy endureth forever
To Him who does great wonders
For his mercy endureth forever

Let all people praise His name
For his mercy endureth forever
To Him who gives life abundant
For his mercy endureth forever

Holy, Holy, is the Lord
His mercy endureth forever
Let the heavens and earth proclaim
That his mercy endureth forever

Ahh.. Ahh.. Ahh..
For his mercy endureth forever (Repeat)

(Sung in Zulu)

Ungekabunjwa bendikwazi (Before you were formed, I knew you)
Ndaz’ inani lenwele zakho (I know the number of your hair)
Akukho lizwi elwimini lwakho (There’s no word you speak)
Endingalaziyo ndinguThixo (That I the Lord do not know)
Nob’ izilingo zifik’ endleleni (When the trials come your way)
Nob’ubomi bukudlikidla (The world is tearing you apart)
Ungaxhali ungakhali (Do not panic and cry)
Ngoba ndimi nawe (I’m here with you)
Hey’ ndihamba nawe (Yes, I’ll walk with you)

Chorus:
Thula wazi, ndinguThixo (Be still and know, that I am the Lord)
(repeat)

Val’ umlomo undithembe (Be quiet and trust me)
Nik’ idolo ukutya kwalo (Kneel down and hold on to me)
Bambelela apha kum (I will never leave you)
Soze ndikulahle ndikuyekel’ (I will never forsake you)
nob’izihlobo zikushiya (When loved ones leave you)
Nob’ izihlobo zihlekisa ngawe (When friends make fun of you)
Dont you worry, ungaxhali (Don’t you worry, do not panic)
Ngoba ndimi nawe (as I’m here with you)
Hey’ hamba nam, thula (Come with me, come)

(Chorus)

Bridge:
Endleleni yonke ndihamba nawe (I’ll walk with you the whole way)
Ndihlezi nawe, ngimi nawe (Sit with you, stand with you)
(Repeat)

(Chorus)

Shh!

(Chorus)
