Rain Kenya, Swahili Gospel Lyrics , , , Leave a comment


(Sung in Swahili)

Tangu niwe mdogo, ni mengi nimepita (I’ve experienced many things from infancy)
Mengine mazuri, mengine machungu (Some good, some painful)
Lakini jambo moja ninalijuwa (But I know one thing)
Heri mwisho wa jambo, kuliko mwanzo wake (Better the end result, than it’s beginning)

Chorus:
Amini mwenzangu (Mungu atakuweka juu) [Believe my friend (God will lift you up)]
Amini moyoni (Mungu atakuweka juu) [Believe in your heart ]
Usiwe na shaka (Mungu atakuweka juu) [Do not worry ]
Usiwe na hofu (Mungu atakuweka juu) [Do not fear ]
Hata kama uko chini (Mungu atakuweka juu) [Even if you are the last ]
Hata kama umeshindwa (Mungu atakuweka juu) [Even if you are weary]
Usiwe na shaka (Mungu atakuweka juu) [Do not worry]
Usiwe haraka (Mungu atakuweka juu) [Do not hurry ]

Mwanzo nilivyokuwa, mimi sikuchagua (I did’nt choose my beginnings)
Yote niliyopitia, mimi sikuchagua (I did’nt choose all I experienced)
Kukosa chakula, mavazi, amani sikuchagua (to Lack food, clothes, peace)
Kudharauliwa, kuteseka, kupotea njia sikuchagua (to be despised, to suffer, to be lost)
Ila Nashukuru Mungu alitumia yote kunitengeneza (Only I thank God for He used this to mold me)

(Chorus)

Mwanzo wako najua haukuchagua (You did not choose your beginnings)
Japo mambo uliyopita wewe hukuchagua (You didn’t choose all you passed through)
Lakini amini hayo Mungu anakwambia (But believe what God is telling you)
Macho hayajaona masikio hayajasikia (No eye has seen, no ear has heard)
Mambo makubwa amekupangia (All that God has prepared for you)

(Chorus)

(Sung in Swahili)

Oh, Jimmy Gait make it or make it
Kwa beat ya Jacky B (By Jacky B beats)
208 tulikosana, tukapigana, tukauana
(in 2008 we disagreed, we clashed, we killed each other)
Juu ya politicians Eh (Because of politicians)
Huu mwaka tumeamua, (This Year we have resolved)
Tumetia zi kupigana(x3) (To stop fighting each other x3)

Chorus:
Tunasema (We say)
No more fighting(x3)
No, no, no more fighting
No more fighting, no…
Hakuna marungu, marungu (x2) (No clubs, clubs)
Hakuna, hakuna (No, no)
Hakuna mapanga, mapanga (x2) (No machetes, machetes)
Hakuna, hakuna. Hiye (No,no)
[…] Chini […unclear..] down

Sisi wote mavijana tumeamua (As the youth we have resolved)
Toka leo hatutakubali kutumika (From now on we refuse to be used)
na politicians No way (By the politicians, no way)

(Chorus)

Mungu Baba tunaomba leo (Father God we pray today)
Tusaidie, tuishi kwa amani (Help us to live in peace)
Mungu baba tusaidie (Father God help us)
Ili sote tuungane kwa umoja (So that we join together)
Sisi ni wamoja (As we are one)

(Chorus)

(Sung in Swahili)

Siku moja nilikuwa na shida fulani (One day I had a problem)
Nikaona niombe usaidizi (I decided to ask for help)
Kwa bosi fulani rafiki yangu (To a certain man, who is my friend)
Tumejuana naye kwa muda mrefu (We’ve known each other for a long time)
Simu yake ilikuwa iko mteja (His phone was off)
Kwa hivyo nikaenda kwa ofisi yake (So I went to his office)
Nikaambiwa nitoe kitambulisho (I was asked to show my I.D.)
Na nikaangaliwa kama niko na bomu (And was searched for weapons)
Wakaniuliza kama nina appointment (Then they asked me if I had an appointment)
Nikasema sina huyo ni rafiki yangu (I said I don’t, He’s my friend)
So wakasema “No, huwezi ona bosi” (So they said, “No, you can’t see the boss,”)
“Ni lazima, ni lazima uwe na appointment” (“You must have an appointment”)

Chorus:
Asante Baba, (Thank you Father) I like your office
Hakuna appointment nahitaji (I don’t need an appointment)(repeat)
So any day, anytime, anywhere I go
I just knock, knock, knock. Naingia (And enter.)

Kwa ofisi yako, hakuna masoja (There are no guards in your office)
Hata sekretari pia hakunanga (There is also no secretary)
Hakunanga diary ati lazima tupange (There is no diary to arrange)
Any day, any time is a meeting time
Kwa hivyo, nikiwa na shida (So if I have an issue)
Siwezi ngoja nipate appointment (I don’t have to wait for an appointment)(repeat)

(Chorus)

So any day, anytime, anywhere I go
I just knock, knock, knock. Naingia (And enter.)

(Reuben Kigame’s Version)

(Sung in Swahili)

Verse 1:
Baba yetu wa mbinguni tunaleta sifa kwako
(Our Father in heaven we bring praises to you)
Wewe hulinganishwi na yeyote duniani
(You cannot be compared to anyone in the world)
Mbingu na nchi zakusifu, jua na mwezi vyakutukuza
(Heaven and earth praise you, the sun and the moon worship you)
Wanyama wa pori, ndege wa angani (Wild animals, birds of the air)
Sifa tele kwako Bwana (Multitudes of praises to you Lord)

Mbingu na nchi zakusifu, jua na mwezi vyakutukuza
(Heaven and earth praise you, the sun and the moon worship you)
Wanyama wa pori, ndege wa angani (Wild animals, birds of the air)
Sifa tele kwako Bwana (Multitudes of praises to you Lord)
(Repeat)

Chorus: *Hoiye is a sound (of praise)
Hoiye! Sifa zetu, Hoiye! ni zako zote
(Hoiye, Our praises belong to you alone)
Hoiye! Usifiwe, Hoiye! Milele Bwana
(Hoiye be praised forever Lord) Repeat

Verse 2:
Tukiomba kwako Baba, sikio lako li wazi kwetu
(When we pray to you Father, your ears are open to us)
Macho yako yatuona; sisi watoto wako
(Your eyes see us; your children)
Ulimtoa Yesu, mwana wako wa pekee
(You gave your only son Jesus)
Alikufa msalabani; sasa tuko huru
(To die on the cross; and now we are free)

(Sung in Swahili)

Mwambie Baba shida zako maana yeye atazitatua
(Tell father your troubles for he will solve them)
Ukiwaambia majirani ye, masimango yatakufuata
(If you tell your neighbors, gossip will follow you)
Mwambie Yesu upitiayo maana yeye ayajua yote
(Tell Jesus your troubles for He knows all)
Alishinda kifo Masiya, nini pia asoweza shinda
(The Messiah defeated death, what will thwart him?)

Chorus:
Mwambie, mwambie, mwambie Baba shida zako
(Tell him, tell him, tell the Father your troubles)
Mwambie, mwambie, yote alikusikiza
(Tell him, tell him all he listens)
Mwambie, mwambie, mwambie Baba shida zako
(Tell him, tell him, tell the Father your troubles)
Mwambie, mwambie, Yeye atazitatua
(Tell him, he will solve them)

Ee mama unajisumbua, washika tama una huzuni
(You woman hold your chin in depression)
Unakosema juu ya shida zako we huwaambia majirani
(When you tell of your troubles you tell your neighbors)
Usiende kwa waganga, hawatosimamisha ndoa yako
(Don’t go to the witch-doctors: They won’t help your marriage)
Mwambie Yesu shida zako, waganga wataivunja
(Tell Jesus your troubles, Witch-doctors will break it)

(Chorus)

Usiwaambie walimwengu, yakusumbuayo ndugu yangu
(Don’t tell the world whatever troubles you my brother)
Yesu pekee ndiye aweza kuitatua shida yako
(Jesus only would help solve your troubles)
Mbona wasumbuka bure ukitafuta ushauri mwenzangu
(Why do you trouble yourself looking for solutions?)
Hebu soma hiyo Biblia, ina jawabu kwa kila jambo
(Read that Bible, it has a solution for every question)

(Chorus)
