(Sung in Swahili)

Hata nikiwa sina chakula, Isinifanye kusahau (Even if I lack food, don’t let me forget)
Ulinilisha nikasaza (You fed me until I was full)
Hata nikiwa sina mavazi (Even if I have no clothing)
Isinifanye nifukuru (Do not let me blaspheme)
Na kusahau umeniweka hai (And forget you kept me alive)
Ona wapo marafiki (To see my friends )
Wanakosa kula na kuvaa (Though they lack food and clothing )
Hawalalamiki, wanakushukuru tu (They do not complain, but give thanks to You)
Mimi eh, nilikupa nini Baba (As for me, what did I give You Father)
Cha kunipa kibali (That You’ve favored me)
Kwa siku zilizofurahisha? (With days that give me joy?)

Taabu kidogo zisinifanye nikusahau (A little trouble should not let me forget)
Umeshatenda mengi – nikiwa hapa (That You’ve much that I have witnessed)
Shida itapita, bado kidogo (Troubles will pass in a little while)
Ikiwa nitachoka niiunue (Should I tire, lift me)

Refrain:
Nipe, kukumba wema (Grant me to remember good) x3
Nipe kukumba wema wako (Grant me to remember Your Goodness)

Hata kwenye bonde hili la mauti (Even in this valley of death)
Nakumbuka nilikuita, (I remember that I called)
Na wewe ukaitika Baba (And Father You answered)
Kutegemea akili zangu, na mawazo yangu (Depending on my wits and my thoughts)
Kutanifanya niendelee (Will make me continue)
niendelee kulalamika (Continue to complain)
Kuna kipindi najisahau (There are times I forget)
na kujivunia mafanikio (And boast of my achievements)
Wengine naona takataka (I see others as rubbish)
Nikumbushe mi ni mtu tu (Remind me that I am but a man)
na dunia tunapita (The world shall pass away)
Uhai wangu si faida bila wewe (My life is not profitable without You )

Mungu wewe ni mkuu (God You are greater)
kuliko vile nakutazama Baba (Than what I can fathom, Father)
Unisamehe, unisamehe (Forgive me, forgive me)
Kuna nyakati nadhani (There are times I suppose)
hii dunia labda ni ya ushindani (That this world maybe is for competition)
Natumia akili zangu za ndani (I use my inner thoughts)
Ila bado nashindwa kuendelea (Only I am unable to continue)
Nikimbushe nisidhani (Remind me not to think)
Wakifanikiwa tuna upinzani (That should they succeed, we are in opposition)
Nifundishe kuwaombea amani (Teach me to pray peace for them)
Na utatenda kwa wakati (And You will act in time)

(Na ikiwa) Kama nikisahau (Should I forget)
Unikumbushe mi mtoto wako (Remind me, your child) (Repeat)

(Refrain)

(Sung in Swahili)

Nina imani, siku za mateso zitapita (I have faith that troubled days will be over)
Nina imani, siku ya kutoka ghetto, itafika (I have faith that my ghetto days will end)
Nitapata mabawa, nitapaa (I will get wings, I will fly)
Nyota itaangaza, nitang’aa (The star will light, I will shine)
Ninayotamani moyoni, nitapata (I will be granted my heart’s wishes)
No no no no, sitasahau (No no no no, I shall not forget)

Refrain:
Sitasahau, walionishikilia (I shall not forget those who held me)
Sitasahau, walioniombea (I shall not forget those who prayed for me)
Sitasahau, ni Mungu amenitendea (I shall not forget what God has done for me)
Sitasahu, sahau! (I shall not forget) (Repeat)

Nitashare-share (I will share)
Hiyo kidogo sitajiwekea (And shall not keep the little to myself)
Sitalegea-gea kushika mtu mkono (I shall not tarry to hold anyone by the hand)
Na nikiitwa somewhere, kusaidia (If I am called anywhere to help)
Hata kama sina fare, nitatembea (Even if I do not have fare, I shall not walk) (Repeat)

(Refrain)

Oh Mfalme wa amani (Oh Prince of Peace)
Nimekaa katika mlima huu, kwa muda mrefu Mfalme (I have sat on this hill for a long time)
Sasa ninaomba Mfalme wa amani (Now I pray, Prince of Peace)
Usinipite! Usiwe mbani nami Jehova (Do not pass me by! Lord, do not be far from me)
Ninakupenda Jehova, asante (I love You Jehovah, I thank You)

Refrain:
Usinipite Bwana, usiufiche uso wako (Lord do not pass me by, do not hide Your Face)
Unapozuru watu wengine, usinipite Bwana (When You call on others, do not Pass me)
Usinitupe Bwana, usiwe mbali nami (Lord do not abandon me, be not far from me)
Unapozuru watu wengine, usinipite Bwana (When You call on others, do not pass me)
(Repeat)

Watakatifu wamekusanyika, wanainama mbele zako (The holy ones are gathered, prostrate before You)
Wanasema Mtakatifu, hakuna kama Wewe (Say Oh Holy one, there is no one like You)
Twaungama na makerubi na maserafi (We confess with the Cherubim and the Seraphim)
Na wazee ishirini na wanee, wenye uhai wanne (And 24 elders, and the four beings)
Tunasema uheshimiwe, tunasema uabudiwe (Saying be glorified, be worshiped)
Tunasema uinuliwe, hakuna kama wewe (We say be lifted, there is none like You)

(Refrain)

Umesema watu wangu, walioitwa kwa Jina langu (You have said that me people, called by my name)
Wakiomba na kutubu, utasikia kutoka juu (If they pray and confess, You will listen from heaven)
Utaiponya nchi yao, utaondoa uchungu wote (You will heal their land, You shall remove all pain)
Ninaomba Masiya, usinipite Bwana (I pray Savior, do not pass me by)
Kuna wale wako vitandani, hawawezi kutembea (There are bedridden, who cannot walk)
Ninaomba Masiya, usiwapite Bwana (I pray Savior, do not pass me by)
Kuna wale wameachwa, na waume wao (There are those abandoned by their husbands)
Ninaomba Masiya, usiwapite Bwana (I pray Savior, do not pass me by)

Ninaomba Masiya, usiwapite Bwana (I pray Savior, do not pass me by)

(Refrain)

Nimesikia historia yako, unainua walio chini (I have heard Your history, You lift the afflicted)
Ninaomba Masiya, usinipite Bwana (I pray Savior, do not pass me by)
Magoti yangu yamezama chini, nainua mikono yangu (My knees are sunk, I lift my hands)
Ukiniacha nitaenda wapi? Usinipite Bwana (If You abandon me, Where will I go? Do not pass me by Lord)
Uko na moyo wa huruma, uko na macho ya huruma (You are Merciful, You see with mercy)
Ninaomba Masiya, usinipite Bwana (I pray Savior, do not pass me by)

(Refrain)

Magoti yangu yamezama chini, nainua mikono yangu (My knees are sunk, I lift up my hands)
Ninasema siwezi Baba, bila wewe (I say without You Father, I cannot)
Wewe ndiwe rafiki yangu, wewe ndiwe kipenzi changu (You are my Friend, You are my Love)
Mimi sina mwingine tena, usinipite Bwana (I have no other, do not pass my by Lord)
