Yesu kamwambia, mwanamke msamaria kisimani
Hao wanaume ulio nao hawamalizi kiu, kunywa maji
Ee dada kunywa maji, kunywa maji
Kwani ukinywa haya hamna kiu tena
Minisketi hipster fashioni Hazimalizi kiu kunywa maji
Chorus
Kunywa maji, Kunywa maji,
Kunywa maji, ya uzima
Verse 2:
Mzee mbona kiu, na maji yapo, Kila siku pombe, sigara mdomoni
Leo ni atoti, kesho ni wanjiku, Watakumaliza kunywa maji
Kijana nakwambia usidanganyike, Raha za dunia, hazimalizi kiu
Madawa ya kulevya na dot komu, Hazimalizi kiu kunywa maji
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
Ee mama Kunywa maji uache fitina,
Wivu masengenyo na mashindano
Maji ya uzima, furaha tele
Kila siku mama ni haleluya
//Note: This one was one of the hardest lyrics to write because I am not from the Kipsigis tribe and I haven’t spoken Kale in a while 🙂 So if you see any errors (I know they are there), leave me a note and I will be happy to edit accordingly. God bless you.
Verse 1
Kiyai Jehova eng togunet, muren ak cheb
Akonechi mugulelwekwek, kiy tab kamang’un

Mie ingogeer age ak age baba, kosibeshi
Kiyak ngalale chamyetab kwanda ak murenik
Chamyet daktari neng’ung’ irib, kogonun asenet
Chamyet che bo iman kogonun kainet, sige keljin wee
(?) Kwanda ne tinyei hasara, konu asenet o
Chorus:
Soman kirwogik wee taman ak mut, koitetab lok soman ak itestai
Kiinere Samson o kobelit ngano, koi korom chamyet bele emet
Kibengei chamyet o, ne gonu hasara, kigas agobo samson ak delila
Kiringa Samson kong’an siri, kebal konyekyi we bara chamyet o
Verse 2:
Geere koitos chek tuptem ak mut name agenge

(Sung in Swahili: The Shepherd’s Psalm – Psalm 23)
Bwana mchungaji wangu, sitapungukiwa (The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not Want)
katika malisho ya majani, mabichi hunilaza (He makes me to lie down in green pastures)
Kwa maji matulivu, yeye huniongoza (He leads me beside the still waters.)
Kwa uvuli wa mauti, sitaogopa kamwe (Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall not be afraid)
Repeat:
Umeniandalia, meza mbele yangu (You have prepared a table before me)
Machoni pa watesi wangu, Bwana huniongoza (Before my enemies, Lord )
Huisha nafsi yangu, katika njia za haki (He leads me in the paths of righteousness)
Kwa ajili ya jina lako, wewe upo nami (For His name’s sake, You are with me) (Repeat)
Nimekukimbilia, Baba Mungu wangu (I have run to You, Father my God)
Nisiaibike, mbele za watesi wangu (That I may not be ashamed before my enemies)
Wewe upo nami, gongo na fimbo yako (You are with me, Your rod and Your Staff)
Vyanifariji Baba, Sitaogopa kamwe (Comfort me Father, I shall not be afraid)
(Refrain)
Umenipaka mafuta, kichwani mwangu (You anoint my head with oil)
Kikombe kinafurika, machoni pa watesi wangu (My cup runs over, in front of my enemies)
Wema nazo fadhili, zitanifuata (Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me)
Siku zote za maisha yangu, nyumbani mwako milele (All the days of my life; In Your House forever)
Nafsi yangu yakungoja Bwana | My soul waits upon you Lord
Kuliko walinzi wangojavyo asubuhi | More than watchmen wait for the morning (Repeat)
Naam, kuliko walinzi wangojavyo asubuhi | Yes, more than watchmen waiting for dawn
Nafsi yangu yakungoja | I wait upon you Lord (Repeat)
Wale wote wamgojao Bwana | All who wait upon the Lord
watafanywa upya Nguvu zao Maishani | Will be given new strength (Repeat)
(Chorus)
Wamgojao mungu wao,watafanywa upya | Those who wait upon our God, will be renewed
Nguvu zao maishani,wale wote eehee | And renewed strength
Ewe dada ukimgoja bwana, | My sister if you wait for the Lord
Utafanywa upya nguvu zako maishani | You will be given new strength
Ewe dada ukimgoja bwana, | My sister if you wait upon the Lord
Utafanywa upya nguvu zako maishani | Your strength will be renewed
(Chorus) + (Verse 2)
Wale wote wamgojao Bwana | All who wait upon the Lord
watafanywa upya Nguvu zao Maishani | Will be given new strength (Repeat)

Indoiywo baba kot koit betut, ye ke kesgei bandanyu
Baba ibukwo bekap kong’,ye aitu kong’ung’ kipsengwet
