Nitasubiri (I Will Wait) Lyrics by Zabron Singers

Leave a comment


(Sung in Swahili)

Ya nini Mungu kujificha wakati wa shida?
(God, why do you hide from me in times of trouble?)
Wakati mwingine kama kweli huoni
(Other times it is like You do not see)
Wajua yote yalonikuta hasim’liki
(You know all that have happened to me that cannot be said)
Nimelia na kujinyamazisha pekee yangu
(I have cried and comforted myself)

Moyoni nikataabika, Furaha ikaenda
(My heart struggled, my joy fled)
Sikumwona wa kumwelezea shida
(I did not see anyone to confide with my troubles)
Rafiki pekee namwamini, ni Yesu mfariji
(The only friend I trust is Jesus the Comforter)
Ndio maana sijamwambia mtu shida zangu
(This is why I have not told people of my troubles)

Refrain:
N’tasubiri na kusubiri sitachoka
(I shall wait and wait without tiring)
Nimeshamezana na wewe kwa maombi
(I have already spoken to You in prayers)
Us’pojibu, au ujibu n’taelewa
(Whether You answer or not, I shall understand)
Nash’kuru, hata kwa majaribu
(I am thankful even in my trials)
Mungu unasababu (God You have a reason)
Mimi kuishi maisha kama haya
(For me to live such a life) (Repeat)

Kwa nini sasa umesimama mbali nami Bwana?
(Why do You stand away from me Lord?)
M’da mwingi mi najihisi mi ni mpweke
(A lot of times I feel lonely)
Jidhihirishe mi nikuone, nakuhitaji Bwana
(Manifest Yourself, let me see You, Lord I need You)
Nibariki sasa ukijibu maombi, yangu
(Bless me now as You answer my prayers)
Najua mengi nimekuudhi, nimetenda dhambi
(I know I have angered You, I have sinned)
Ndio maana ukasimama mbali nami
(That is why You’ve distanced Yourself from me)
N’samehe yote yote bure, kwa damu ya Yesu
(Forgive me all of it, freely, in the Blood of Jesus)
Nifanye mi ni we mtoto wako siku, zote
(Make me Your child, forever)

(Refrain)

(Sung in Swahili)

Refrain:
Usisahau ulikotoka, mama eh (Mother do not forget from whence you came from)
Usisahau ulikotoka, baba eh (Father do not forget from whence you came from)
Iko faida kunyenyekea, mama eh (There’s value in humility)
Unyenyekevu hauna hasara, baba eh (Being humble has no loss)

Neno la Mungu linasema (The Word of God says)
Neno la Mungu limeweka wazi (The Word of God has made it evident)
Huwainua wanyenyekevu (It lifts the humble)
Na huwashusha wenye kiburi (And lowers the proud)
Ulimwomba Mungu kwa uchungu mwingi (You prayed to God in pain)
Leo amekusaidia umefanikiwa (Today He has blessed You to success)
Usisahau ulikotota mama we (Do do not forget from whence you came from)
Usisahau wale waliokusaidia (Do not forget those who helped you)

Ni kweli umesoma sana (It’s true you have studied far)
Ni kweli una kazi nzuri (It’s true that you have a good job)
Ni kweli una kipaji kizuri sana (It’s true that you have a good talent)
Lakini usisahau ulikotoka (But do not forget from where you came from)
Usisahau wale waliokushika mkono (Do not forget those who held your hand)
Usisahau wale walioomba kwa ajili yako (Do not forget those who prayed on your behalf)
Usisahau ulikotoka mama we (Mother, do not forget where you came from)

(Refrain)

Ninawakumbuka wale wakoma kumi (I remember the ten lepers)
Walioponywa na Bwana Yesu (That were healed by Jesus)
Ni mmoja tu alirudi kushukuru (It is only one who came back to give thanks)
Ndipo muujiza wake ukawa wa kudumu (That is why his miracle lasted)
Ni kweli uko busy sana (It’s true that you are busy)
Ni kweli wewe ni mtu mzito sana (It’s true that you are an important person)
Ni kweli unaonwa kwa appointment (It’s true that you are seen by appointment)
Ni kweli umeinuliwa sana (It is true that you are lifted up)
Lakini usisahau ulikotoka (But do not forget from where you came from)
Usisahau yale maombi uliyoomba (Do not forget the prayers you prayed)
Usisahau nadhiri zile ulizoweka (Do not forget the vows you placed)
Usisahau kumshukuru Mungu wako (Do not forget to give thanks to Your God)

Ni kweli umefanikiwa sana (It is true that you are successful)
Dada ni kweli wewe ni mrembo sana (My sister, it is true that you are very beautiful)
Ni kweli umesoma sana (It is true that you have studied a lot)
Usisahau ndugu zako kijijini (Do not forget your brothers in the village)
Usisahau wazazi walikusomesha kwa shida (Do not forget your parents schooled you in difficulty)
Iko faida kushukuru Baba we (There is value in thanking the Fatehr)
Muujiza wako utadumu (That your miracle may last)

(Refrain)

Mungu hutumia watu kuwainua watu (God uses people to lift others)
Usisahau watu ambao Mungu amewatumia kwenye maisha yako (Do not forget those that God has used in your life)
Kukufikisha hapo ulipo (To get you where you are today)
Iko faida kuwakuwakumbuka (There is value in remembering them)
Iko faida kumshukuru Mungu (There is value in thanking God)
Kwa hapo alipokufikisha (For where he has gotten you)

(Sung in Swahili)

Ninakushukuru Mungu sababu ya mengi (God I am thankful for many things)
Hata uhai huu sikustahili (Even for the life that I did not desrve)
Ninakushukuru Mungu tena sababu ya vingi
(God I am thankful to You for many things)
Hata nikiwa nasali unajua namaanisha
(Even when I was praying, You know what I meant)
Sio kama eti nilitenda wema (It is not because I did good)
Wakuja linganisha na matendo yako makuu (That You aligned me with good things)
Mimi Mungu ningekulipa nini (What would I pay You, God?)
Ulikonitoa ni siri ya moyo (Where You got me from is my heart’s secret)
Matopeni topeni ukaniketisha na wakuu juu
(From the miry clay, You have sat me with kings)
Umenipa heshima ukanifuta machozi
(You have given me respect, You wiped my tears)
Asante oh Baba (Thank You Oh, Father)

Refrain:
Hata shukurani zangu ni kwako (Even my thanksgiving are to You)
Shukrani zangu ni kwako (My Thanksgiving are to You)
Na shukurani zangu ni kwako (My  thanks are to YOu)
Shukurani zangu ni kwako, asante Baba (My thanks to You, Thank You Father)
Aibu umefuta fedheha umefuta (You have wiped away my shame and my disgrace)
Umenipa amani, iliyo ya kweli (And have granted me true peace)
Nakumbuka nalia mimi ndo yule ambaye (I remember that I was the one that)
Nilitukanwa na kwa dharau wakasema kwisha habari yake
(I was despised and was said that my days were over)
Kuna kipindi nilikufa nikawa mifupa inayotembea
(There was a time I was dying, was a walking skeleton)
Ikiwa kwa siku za usoni walisema tunazika kesho
(They said that they would bury me tomorrow)
Ila kwa huruma uliniponya na kaburi (In Your mercy, You saved me from the grave)
Kwa huruma, ah sitosahau wema wako we Baba
(But for Your Mercy. Oh I shall not forget Your Goodness)

(Refrain)

Response: Ahsante Baba (Thank You Father)
Kama kusoma tulisoma wengi, umeniruhusu niwe na kazi nzuri
(If it’s education, we all went to school – But You have allowed me a good job)
Ajali tulipata wengi, umeruhusu nibaki na uzima
(A lot of us were in an accident, You allowed me to remain alive)
Ndoa zimefungwa nyingi, umeruhusu tubaki na amani
(A lot of marriages have been made, You have allowed us to remain peaceful)
Furaha wamekosa wengi, umeruhusu nitabasamu Baba
(A lot have no joy, You have allowed me to smile, Father)

(Refrain)
