(Sung in Swahili)

Yale yale ya ujana maji ya moto n’kaukurupukia
(The same youth is like hot water I jumped on it)
Leo hii wawili watoto wanaiangalia (Today two children look to me)
Napambana sana na changamoto kuwatafutia
(I struggle with challenges to provide for them)
Nikikosa, mzazi mwenzangu anakuja moto (If I lack, my co-parent argues)
Matusi kunishushia (Verbally insults me)
Natumia nguvu kutafuta — jasho laloesha shati
(I use energy to search — sweat drenches my shirt)
Chini nikiziba ufa, juu linang’oka bati
(When I repair a crack on the floor, the roof leaks)
Zile ngo ngo kwa ndugu jama (The knock knock to my friends)
Zishaishanga mazima (mie) (Have completely stopped)
Miondondo mlezi wa wana (I have no help as the children guardian)
Lakini zali(zari?) sina (miee) (But I have no relief for myself)

Ama sauti yangu kwa mungu Baba, haisikiki?
(Is it because my prayers to Father God are not heard?)
Tuseme dua zangu mbingu ya saba, hazifiki?
(Shall we say my prayers to the seventh heaven, do not arrive?)

Response: Futa chozi, futa (Wipe the tears, wipe them)
Usiulize nalia nini (Do not ask why I cry)
Nahisi riziki yangu imepigwa pini (I feel like my provision have been stopped)
Iyeee lele lelile le
Mungu Baba nione (Father God, see me)

Nikiwa kazini akili zote zipo nyumbani
(When at work, all my attention is at home)
Nikiwa nyumbani wakusalishe, sina amani
(When at home they do not greet me(?), I have no peace)
Nakazana sana, kimziki (I struggle with my music)
Kweli napambana, kubahatisha riziki
(Truly I struggle in trying for provision)
Wanaomba mabaya wenye roho za choyo
(They pray ill for me those with selfish hearts)
Na ndugu zangu wakiwemo (My brothers included)
Napata fupa mi kibogoyo, Mungu ameninyima meno
(I get a bone, but I am toothless, God has withheld teeth for me)
Nikitazama watoto wangu, inje ya ndoa wamezaliwa
(When I look at my children, they were born out of wedlock)
Kwenye imani ya dini yangu, wanasema nishakosea
(In my religion’s faith, they say that I have sinned)

(Refrain)

Ama sauti yangu kwa Mungu Baba
(Is it because my voice to my Father God)
Tuseme dua zangu mbingu ya saba, hazifiki?
(Shall we say my prayers to the Seventh heaven do not arrive?)

Response: Futa chozi, futa (Wipe my tears, wipe them away)
Kuna muda naishiwa nguvu (There are times I lose strength)
Elimu sina kichwa mbumbumbu (I have no education, my brain is empty)
Naganga ganga njaa (I struggle with hunger)
Mungu wangu lini langu fungu? (My Father, when do I receive my portion?)

Roho wako mwenyezi (Your Spirit, Almighty)
Amenifanya jinsi nilivyo (Has made me the way I am)
Pumzi yako, uhai wangu (Your breath, my life)
Umefufua mifupa mikavu (You have resurrected the dry bones)

Umetuliza dhoruba (You have calmed the winds)
Wakati wa mawimbi (In the times of storms)

Moyo wangu na ukuiniue wakati (May my heart lift you every time)
Nafsi yangu ikuhimidi kila saa (My soul to praise You every hour)

Ninashukuru, Mwamba (I am thankful, the Rock)

(Sung in Swahili)

Mimi nashangaa, kumbe wakati wa mapito (I’m amazed that it times of trials)
Mambo yote hubadilika (Things change)
Mimi nashangaa, kumbe wakati wa mapito,
Hata rafiki anakutoroka (Even your friend deserts you)
Mimi nashangaa, kumbe wakati wa mapito,
Hauna wa kukutia moyo (There is no one to encourage you)
Kweli nashangaa, kumbe wakati wa mapito,
Mambo yote hubadilika (All things change)?
Hizi miaka zote mpenzi (My Love all this years)
Tumekuwa tu vizuri (We have done well)
Lakini kuanza jana unabadilika (But you’ve changed since yesterday)
Hutaki kuniona, kunikaribia hutaki mpenzi (You don’t want to see me or be close to me)
Pesa, unasemanga kwamba sina pesa (Money. You say I do not have money)
Hizi miaka zote mpenzi (All these years, my love)
Leo ndio umefunguka macho (It is today that your eyes gave been opened)
Umeona kwamba mimi masikini, sinanga pesa (To see that I am poor without money)?

Afadhali uniache jinsi ulivyonipata (It is better to leave me as you found me)
Najua ni mapito tu, bwana ananishughulikia (I know these are trials, The Lord will act on my behalf)
Nasema siwezi, kumuacha mungu wangu (I say I cannot leave my God)
Juu yako mpenzi (Because of You my love)
Mungu wangu anani shughulikia tu (My God acts on my behalf)

Refrain:
Uchungu wa mwana ni mzazi aujuaye (The parent understands the child’s pain)
Mapito yangu, baba wa mbingu anaona (My Heavenly Father is a witness to my trials)
(Repeat)

Jamani, wakati wa mapito (Truly in times of trials)
Usingojee kupigiwa makofi (Do not expect to be applauded)
Bali kupigwa makofi (But to be slapped)
Jamani, wakati wa mapito  (Truly in times of trials)
Usitarajie kutiwa moyo (Do not expect to be encouraged)
Bali kuvunjwa moyo  (But for your heart to be broken)
Wakati wa mapito (In times of trials)
Usitarajia marafiki (Do not expect friendship)
Bali manafiki kibao (But a lot of enmity)
Utakapo pata kesho, wengine wao watakurudia (Tomorrow when You’re blessed, others will return to you)
Watasema wanakujua (They will say they knew you)
Watasema walisimama na wewe, usiwakemee (That they stood with you, do not rebuke them)
Mungu, mungu ndiye analipa (God, God is the one who avenges)

(Refrain)

Atatenda tu, tenda tu, yeye (He will act on your behalf)
Atatenda tu, tenda tu, yeye (He will act on your behalf)

(Refrain)
