I’m gonna sing about life
Life is so beautiful
To live and to believe
Soki oboyi koyoka liloba na nzambe
Ezali mawa pona yo ndeko na ngai
We live in the same world
Together and forever
Esengo ezali na moto oyo andimi nzambe, Na motema
Kasi soki boyili liloba na nzambe te, Lobiko ezali te
Pona bato oyo baboyi liloba
Ezali mawa, mawa, mawa…
Ezali mawa, po nayo ndeko
Ezali mawa, na mokili mobimba
Pona bato oyo, baboyi liloba
Ezali mawa, mawa, mawa
Nzambe alobi botia mitema na bino, Epayi na ye
Mawa na bino boboyi liloba na ye, Ya esengo
Ezali mawa, boboyi liloba
Ezali mawa, mawa, mawa
Ezali mawa, po nayo ndeko
Ezali mawa, na mokili mobimba
Pona bato oyo, baboyi liloba
Ezali mawa, mawa, mawa
Na ebendeli ezalaki liloba
Kasi bino boboyaki koyoka liloba na ye
Yango pasi ekoti na mokili oyo ya se
Po boboyi koyoka liloba na ye
Oooooh ye!
Ezali mawa, po nayo ndeko
Ezali mawa, na mokili mobimba
Pona bato oyo, baboyi liloba
Ezali mawa, mawa, mawa…

Jiwe langu la thamani, nakuhitaji sana (My precious rock, I need you so much)

Ninataka maisha yangu, yajengwe juu yako (I want my life, to be founded on you)
NInataka ndoa yangu, ijengwe juu yako baba (I want my marriage, to be founded on you)

Ebenezer ni jiwe langu, jiwe langu la msingi (Ebenezer is my rock, my cornerstone)
Mahali nimefika leo, Ni kwa ajili yako ebeneza (Thus far I have come, is because of you Ebenezer)
Mawe mengi yako hapa chini ya jua (There are a lot of rocks under the sun)
kuna dhahabu, kuna almasi Kuna mawe hata sijui majina yake (There is gold, there is diamond, and others I can’t name)
Lakini hakutawahi kuwa jiwe kama ebeneza (But there will never be a rock like Ebenezer)
