Hapo mwanzo mungu alimwumba Adamu (In the beginning God created Adam)
Bustani ya edeni aitunze (To care for the Garden of Eden)
Baadaye Mungu aliona sio vyema(Then God saw that it was not good)
Adamu awe pekee yake akampa mke mwema(For Adam to be alone, He gave him a wife)
Hapo mwanzooo(In the beginning)
Chorus:
Mke mwema anatoka kwa Bwana(A virtous wife is from the Lord)
Nimemwomba Mungu nangojea(I have asked God, I am waiting) (x2)
Mke mwema aaa (A virtuous wife…)
Kwa akili zangu ni vigumu kutambua (On my own it is hard to determine)
ni nani aliyeumbwa kwa ajili yangu(Who was created for me)
Katika mabinti wengi ni nani(In the midst of all the women, who is it)
Mungu ndiye anajua mke mwema(It is only God knows who)
(Chorus)
Majukumu yananizidi jamani nachoka
Kazi za ndani haziishi mke sina
Majukumu yananizidi jamani nachoka
Kazi za ndani haziishi kazi sina
Nimeshapika deki, Nguo zangu zote chafu
Nimemaliza kufua, vyombo vyote ndani vichafu
Maharage yanaungulia, ndani maji nimeishiwa
Nimeamini mwanaume bila mke hajakamilika
Nimeamini mwanaume bila mke hajakamilika bado
(Chorus)
Ukitafuta chumba cha kupanga kama hujaoa
Unaweza kuzunguka mpaka ukachoka
Ukitafuta chumba cha kupanga kama hujaoa
Unaweza kuzunguka mpaka ukachoka
Kila nyumba unayokwenda unaambiwa
“Vyumba viko, umeoa? kama hujaoa kaka samahani
Hapa hatupangishi vijana ambao bado hawajaoa.” Oh!
Ee bwana ninakupenda nakupenda, Ninayo kila sababu baba ya kukupenda (Oh Father I love You, I have every reason to love You)
Umenitendea mengi ya ajabu, Hata kulipa siwezi baba pokea sifa (You have done many amazing things, that I cannot repay you, Father receive praise Father)(Repeat)
Chorus:
Nakupenda Baba, nakupenda (I love You Father, I love You)
Kila ninapokutafakari mimi natetemeka (Everytime I ponder on it, I tremble)
Kwanini unidhamini mimi mwanadamu (Why did you value me a mere human?)
Ninajua ni kwa neema tu umenipenda ( I know it is by Grace that you love me)(Repeat)
Upendo wako kwangu ni maalum, siwezi kulinganisha kamwe nao mwingine (Your love to me is special, I cannot compare to another one)
wewe ni wa thamani maishani, Nisaidie nisikuache nisonge mbele (You are valuable to my life, help me to not leave you in my journey)(Repeat)
(Chorus)
Asubuhi ninaona fadhili zako, Na mchana ninashuhudia upendo wako (In the morning I see your goodness, and during the day I witness your love)
Na usiku ninaona kupumzishwa, Kila wakati mimi naona kufarijika (At night I see your rest, everytime I am comforted) (Repeat)
Verse 1:
Nafurahia mateso yangu, nafurahia mateso yangu (I rejoice in my persecutions)
Ujapoharibika mwili huu, tapata mwingine kwa Baba (Though this body be destroyed, I’ll get another from the Father)
Ujapoharibika mwili huu, tapata mwingine kwa Baba (Though this body be destroyed, I’ll get another from the Father)
Chorus:
Nakaza mwendo, nifike Mbinguni (I press on to reach heaven)
Nayakabidhi, maisha kwa Bwana (I give my life to the Lord)
Nauone, uzuri wa bwana (That I may see his goodness) x2
Taabu na matatizo, hakuna (No more troubles and trials)
Kiu wala njaa, hakuna (No more thirst or hunger) x2
Verse 2:
Lakini mji ule taa yake, ni mwana kondoo (But in the city its light is the lamb)
Milele mji ule hauitaji, jua wala mwezi (Forever it does not need the sun or the moon)
Najua kuishi kwangu ni pigo, kufa ni faida (I know life is a burden, to die is to gain)
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
Lakini waongo na wazinzi, hawataingia (But the liars and fornicators, shall not enter)
wala waabudu sanamu, hawataingia (Neither will the idolaters enter) x2
Najua kuishi kwangu ni pigo, kufa ni faida (I know life is a burden, to die is to gain)
Chorus:
Yesu wee nakupenda, bwana yesu wee nakupenda(My Lord Jesus I love you) x2
Kama vile wewe ulivyo nipenda kwanza nakupenda (As you loved me first, I love you)
Kisha tena ukautoa uhai wako nakupenda(Then again you gave up your life, I love you)
Kama vile wewe ulivyo nipenda kwanza nakupenda (As you loved me first, I love you)
Kisha tena ukautoa uhai wako nakupenda(Then again you gave up your life, I love you)
Yesuuuu, yesu (Jesus)
Msalabani dhambi zangu ulichukua,(You took my sins at the cross)
Kufika kalivari Bwana ulizitua(At calvary Lord you relieved me)
Nami niwekwa huru ninakwimbia,(Now I am free I praise you)(Repeat)
Nikufananishe na nani mwokozi wangu,(Who do I liken you to my saviour?)
Naona fahari mimi ninakuimbia(I am priviledged to praise you)
Nani asimame badala yako,(Who can stand in your stead?)
Hakuna mwingine ni wewe pekee yako(There’s no one but you)(Repeat)
Nafahamu Yesu anipenda mimi (I know that Jesus loves me)
(Chorus)
Nilipokuwa kwa shetani niliugua,(When I was of the devil I suffered)
Ndugu na jamaa zangu walinikimbia(My family and friends ran away from me)
Lakini yesu wa huruma ukanihurumia,(But merciful Jesus was merciful to me)
Nikufananishe na nani mwokozi wangu,(Who do I liken you to my saviour?)
Naona fahari mimi ninakuimbia(I am priviledged to praise you)
Nani asimame badala yako,(Who can stand in your stead?)
Hakuna mwingine ni wewe pekee yako(There’s no one but you)
Nafahamu Yesu anipenda mimi (I know that Jesus loves me)
Chorus:
Nibebe nibebe nibebe nibebe Carry me, carry me, carry me, carry me
Nibembeleze nibebe Comfort me, carry me
Nichukue unibebe Take me, carry me
Mikononi mwako niwe salama In your arms so I will be safe
Verse 1:
E mungu angalia kunena kwangu, O God hear the words of my mouth
Na usikie sauti ya kilio changu And listen to the sound of my cry
Moyo wangu umechoka sana baba, My heart is very weary father
Kwa ajili ya wingi wa mateso yangu Because of the multitude of my troubles
Nafsi yangu imegandamana na mavumbi My soul is mixed with dust
Niokoe mikononi mwa midomo ya mbwa | Save me from the mouths of dogs
Kwanini ninateswa sana kwa ajili yako babaga Why am I being persecuted because of you O my father?
Niokoe mikononi mwa watu wabaya Save me from the hands of evil people
fanya hima unisaidie nibebe Hurry up and save me and carry me
(Chorus)
Nimechoka peke yangu safari ngumu no ndefu nibebe (I am tired and the journey is hard and long I can’t by myself carry me)
(Chorus)
Verse 2:
Macho yangu yamedhoofukwa machozi | My eyes have been blinded by my tears
Kwani mateso yangu hayapimiki kwa mizani | Because my troubles cannot be measured on a scale
Kwa kuwa aliyenitukana siye adui yangu | Because the one who defied me was not my enemy
bali ni rafiki yangu tuliyejuana naye sana | But my friend who I knew very well
Tulikula pamoja, tulisali pamoja, kanisani pamoja | We ate together, we prayed together, we churched together
Bwana asifiwe kwa sana | We Praises the Lord very much
Kumbe mwenzangu alikusudia kuniangamiza | But my friend wanted to finish me off
(Chorus)
Kweli nimeamini adui wa kwanza ni yule wa nyumbani mwako (Its true I have believed that the biggest enemy is the one closest to you)
(Chorus)
verse 3:
Wengine wakinibeba nitaambulia matatizo, yesu nibebe If anyone else carries me I will be in trouble, Jesus carry me
Dunia ikinibeba itanipeleka jehanamu, yesu nibebe If the world carries me it will take me to hell, Jesus carry me
Marafiki wakinibeba watanipeleka pabaya, yesu nibebe (If my friends carry me, they’ll get me into trouble, Jesus carry me
Baba nibebe, yesu nibebe, (Father carry me, Jesus carry me)
Nibembeleze nibebe, nichukue mbiguni salama (Comfort me, carry me, take me to heaven safely)
(Chorus)
Nimechoka pekee yangu safari ngumu siwezi (I am tired the path is hard and I cannot make it on my own)
(Chorus)
(verse 4)
Nifike mbinguni nimwone Eliya (Amen) (So that I reach heaven and see Elijah)
Nifike mbinguni nimwone Yakobo (Amen) (So that I reach heaven and see Jacob)
pamoja na kiti cha enzi mbinguni kwa baba (Together with the Father’s throne in heaven)
Njia za dhahabu nami nakatembelee (So that I walk on the streets of gold)
O baba nibebe, yesu nibebe, (Oh father carry me, Jesus carry me)
Nibembeleze nibebe, nichukue mbiguni salama (Comfort me, carry me, take me to heaven safely)
(Chorus)
Nakwita Yesu unibebe mwokozi (I call you Jesus my saviour, carry me)
(Chorus)
Verse 5:
Nifike mbinguni nikamwone baba (Amen) (So that I reach heaven and see my Father)
Nifike mbinguni nakapumzike (Amen) (So that I reach heaven my rest)
Katika kiti cha enzi nami nikasujudie (At your throne, so that I would worship you)
Niwaone wenzangu wale walionitangulia (So that I see my friends who preceeded me)
Nikale matunda ya mti wa uzima (So that I eat the fruits of the tree of life)
Yesu nibebe, baba nibebe, (Jesus carry me, Father carry me)
Nibembeleze nibebe nichukue mbiguni salama (Comfort me, carry me, take me to heaven safely)
