Refrain:
Repeat: Imba (Sing)
Yesu asikie (Jesus to hear)
Asikie sauti yako (That He hears your voice)
Yesu asikie (Jesus to hear)
Imba wewe, mgumba (Sing, you the barren on)
Imba wewe mjane (Sing, you the widow)
Imba masikini (Sing, poor onw)
Imba uliye kataliwa (Sing, rejected one)
Imba uliye lia (Sing, the weeping one)
Imba uliye mgonjwa (Sing, the one stricken with sickness)
Imba uliye tasa (Sing, the barren one)
Imba mbingu zikie (Sing, for the heavens to hear) x2
Imba, malaika washuke (Sing, the angels to descend)
Imba, Mungu wetu ashuke (Sing, for our God to descend)
Yesu asikie (For Jesus to hear) x2
Malaika waje kwako (For the angels to come to you)
Kutatua shida zako (To address your problems)
Milango ifunguke kwako (For the doors to be opened to you)
Ugonjwa uondoke kwako (For the illness to depart from you)
Imba, wewe imba (Sing, you sing)

Katikati ya mateso mengi, mama usinyamaze (In the midst of a multitude of your persecution, do not be silent)
Katikati ya mapito uliyo nayo, usinyamaze (In the midst of a multitude of your troubles, do not be silent)
Katikati ya maumivu yako, usinyamaze (In the midst of your pain, do not be quiet)
Anajua shida uliyo nayo, Baba (He knows of your problems)
Anajua taabu uliyo nayo, Mama (He knows of your misery)
Anajua mateso uliyo nayo, Baba (He knows about your troubles)
Anajua taabu unazopitia (He knows what you are going through)
Imba katikati ya maumivu yako (Sing in the midst of your pain)
Imba katikati ya maadui zako (Sing amongst your enemies)
Imba katikati ya majaribu yako (Sing in the midst of your trials)
Imba! Wewe imba (Sing, you sing!)

(Refrain)

Ukuta wa Yeriko, uliangushwa kwa nyimbo (The walls of Jericho fell through song)

Ukuta wa Yeriko, uliangushwa kwa nyimbo (The walls of Jericho fell through song)
Ukuta wa Yeriko, uliangushwa kwa kuimba (The walls of Jericho were destroyed by song)
Angusha vifungo vyako, angusha kwa kuimba (Destroy your chains, destroy them by song)
Angusha watesi wako, angusha kwa kuimba (Destroy your persecutors, destroy them by song)
Angusho maadui zako, angusha kwa sifa (Destroy your enemies, destroy them through praise)
Angusha ngome za maadui zako, angusha kwa kuimba (Destroy the enemies fortresses, destroy them by song)
Mungu wetu anaketi katikati ya sifa (For our God sits in the midst of praise)

Nifundishe (Teach Me) Lyrics by Zabron Singers

Leave a comment


(Sung in Swahili)

Anatupenda (He loves us) x3

Maisha ya mwanadamu (The life of a human)
Kuishi kwake huwa mara moja (Their living is only for one time)
Yakishapita, huwezi kuyarudisha (Once it is over, it cannot be redone)
Mbona twaishi, twaishi kwa nguvu za Mungu pia uwezo wake (The way we live, is by His Power and Might)
Tumkumbuke Mungu, siku za uhai wetu (Let us remember God, in the days of our lives)
Kama unataka muujiza, ni huu hapa sasa (If You need miracles, then here it is)
Wa wewe kuamka (For You to rise up)

Je ni wangapi wamelala, wameshindwa kuamka (How many have slept, unable to rise)
Kwani we ni nani? (For who are You?)
Au unafikiri uzuri wako, umekufanya uwe hai (Or do you think ir is your goodness that has spares you)
Au ni daktari wako (Or it is your doctor)

Si kwa nguvu zangu mimi, wala nguvu zako wewe (It is not by my might or your might)
Ni kwa nguvu zake Mungu (It is through God’s might)
Ndio maana tupo hai, anazidi kutulinda (That is why we live, he continues to care for us)
Ameonekana kwetu (He shows himself to us)

Refrain:
Nifundishe kukutegemea (Teach me to rely upon You)
Kwa hali zote ninazopita (In all my situations)
Hata kwa magumu yote (Even in times of hardship)
Wewe ndiwe kimbilio langu, na ngome yangu (You are my refuge and fortress)
Halleluya (Hallelujah) (Repeat)

Wanijua Baba (You know me Father) x3

Alisema giza liwe, nalo likawa (He commanded darkness, and it came to be)
Kwa fimbo, Musa bahari akaligawa (With his staff, Moses divided the sea)
Tanuru aliwaacha midomo wazi (At the fire, they were left amazed)
Mtu wa nne katoka wapi? (Where did the fourth person come from?)
Kwa kuguza pinde, yule mama kapona (By touching the hem, the bleeding woman was healed)
Batimayo naye, kapona kwa mate na tope (Bartimaeaus was healed by spit and mud)
Hajaanza jana, na wala haishii leo (He did not start yesterday, and will not stop today)
Ni Mungu wa Yakobo, Daudi, milele amina (He is the God of Jacob, David, forever Amen)

Hebu fikiria imani yako hivyo ndogo (Think about your little faith)
Na matendo yako bado, anakulinda bado (And even with your actions, He still cares for you)
Ni dhahiri kuwa Mungu wetu huyu (It is clear that our God)
Anatupenda, anatupenda, anatupenda (He loves us, He loves us)
Anakupenda ulivyo wewe (He loves us the way you are)
Anatupenda, anatupenda, anatupenda (He loves us, He loves us)

(Refrain)

Anatupenda (He loves us) x3

Anakupenda ulivyo, ulivyo wewe (He loves you, just as you are)
Ikiwa shwari mimi ninaimba (When it is all calm, I will sing)
Halelluya, Halelluya, Halelluya (Hallelujah! )
Hata kwenye vikingi nitaimba (Even in times of troubles, I will sing)
Halelluya, Halelluya, Halelluya (Hallelujah! )
Ikiwa shwari mimi nitaimba (When it is all calm, I will sing)
Usifiwe, usifiwe, usifiwe (Be praised, be praised, be praised)
