(Sung in Swahili)
Refrain:
Nitetee Mungu, nitetee Baba (Defend me God, Father defend me)
Nitetee Mungu wangu, Bwana (Advocate for me my Lord God) (Repeat)
Nitetee Mungu wangu (Defend me my God) x4
Nakuomba Mungu (I pray to You, God)
Safari yangu imejaa vikwazo (My journey is full of troubles)
Safari yangu ina vita kubwa (My journey is full of great war) (Repeat)
Bila wewe Mungu, sitafika (Without You God, I will not arrive)
Bila wewe Bwana, sitafanya chochote (Without You Lord, I will not do anything)
Nitetee Mungu wangu (Defend me, my God)
Nitetetee, Baba (Father advocate for me)
Oh nakuomba Mungu wangu (Oh I pray to You, My God) (Repeat)
(Refrain)
Adui zangu wamenitegea, mitego mibaya (My enemies have set a trap for me)
Lengo lao kwangu, wanataka waniangamize (Their aim is to destroy me) (Repeat)
Nitetee Mungu, Nitetee (Defend me God, Advocate for me)
Nitetee, Bwana, pigana nao (Defend me, Lord, fight with them) (Repeat)
Matamanio yao kwangu, sio mazuri (Their desires for me are not good)
Mawazo yao, sio mazuri (Their thoughts are not good)
Mipango yaoi kwangu, sio mizuri (Their plans for me are not good)
Wananitazama kwa macho mabaya (They look at me with ill intentions)
Nitetee Mungu wangu (Advocate for me, My God)
Nitetee Bwana wangu, nakuomba Mungu (Defend me, My Lord, I pray to You God)
(Refrain)
Nimesikia mingongono, ya adui zangu (I have heard the whispers of my enemies)
Wengi wanasema, tuone atafika wapi (Saying, ‘let us see how far he goes’)
Nimesikia mingongono, ya adui zangu (I have heard the whispers of my enemies)
Wengi wanasema, tuone atafanya nini? (Sating ‘let us see what he will do’)
Fanya kitu Bwana, wajue (Do something Lord, that they may know)
Fanya kitu Bwana, wakutambue (Do something Lord, that they may know You)
Dhibitika mbele yao, wajue (Confirm yourself before them, that they may know) x2
Pigana nao, Bwana – Wajue (Fight with them, Lord – that they may know)
Nenda mbele yangu, Bwana (Go before me, Lord)
Nenda mbele yangu, nitetee (Go before me, and defend me)
Nitetee Mungu wangu (Defend me, My God)
(Refrain)
