Chorus:
Baleka! Baleka! (Flee!) x2
Baleka, ngenyawo zombili (Flee with your two feet)
Ezinye izinto azifuni dolo(Some things don’t need kneeling)
Azifuni ngxoxo baleka qha (No arguments – just flee)
Baleka ngenyawo zombili (Flee with your two feet)
(Chorus)
Ekuhlaleni uhlezi njalo (In your community)
Uxoxa ulwini, kodwa ungumzalwane (You gossip, though a christian)
Baleka ngenyawo zombili (Flee with your two feet)
Ufunani, kwiimbutho Zabangxeki? (What are you doing in such meetings?)
Ungumzalwane (You are a Believer)
Ude utsale indlebe bo! (Yet you eavesdrop!)
Baleka ngenyawo zombili (Flee with your two feet)
(Chorus)
Es’kolweni, kunoSugar Daddy(At school, there’s a sugar daddy)
Okwenzela everything (That does everything for you)
Baleka ngenyawo zombili (Flee with your two feet)
Khawundixelele, Kusizani (Just tell me, what benefit is it)
Uzuza ilwizwe nezinto zalo (To gain the world)
Ushiywe ngu Jehova? (And turn your back to God?)
Baleka ngenyawo zombili (Flee with your two feet)
(Chorus)
Bazalwane ezinye izinto azifuni dolo (Believer, don’t kneel)
Azifuni ngxoxo, baleka! (Don’t argue, flee!)
Baleka ngenyawo zombili (Flee with your two feet)
Umhlolokazi, kukho lotata (Widow, there’s that man)
ufika njalo endlin’ yakho (Who always visits your house)
Baleka ngenyawo zombili (Flee with your two feet)
Ukhalazela umkakhe olixelegu (Complaining about his untidy wife)
Ongaphekiyo omtshawuta njalo (She doesn’t cook, shouts at him…)
Kutheni esiza kuwe? (Why is he coming to you?)
(Chorus)
Bodade kukho losista, (There’s this woman)
Ofuwuna njalo ngo 2am (Who always calls at 2 a.m.)
Baleka ngenyawo zombili (Flee with your two feet)
Namhlanje ubeka le (Today it’s this)
Ngomso te te le… ngo 2 am (Tomorrow it’s that… At 2 a.m.?)
Hay’bo zalwane! (Eish brother) 🙂
Baleka ngenyawo zombili (Flee with your two feet)
(Chorus)
Bazalwane, masizigade (Believers, we should keep watch)
Singayiphoxi ivangeli (Let us not degrade the gospel)
Baleka ngenyawo zombili (Flee with your two feet) (Repeat)
(Chorus)

Luganda, Swahili Gospel Lyrics, Uganda ambassada, Take Me Lyrics Leave a comment
(Languages: English, Swahili, Luganda)
Sometimes I really, really wonder why you take me as your son
Sometimes I really, really wonder why you call me by my name
I know you know me, kabla nikujue (Before I knew you)
I know you know me, kabla nizaliwe (Before I was born)
So naomba Baba ,unikomboe nisimame imara
(So I pray Father, save me to stand strong)
Naomba Baba unitumie, niwe chombo chako
(I pray Father that you would use me as your vessel)
Chorus:
Take me, take me, take me as I am
Take me ah, nitumie Baba (use me Father)
Take me, take me, take me as I am
Take me ah, jinsi upendavyo (the way you will)
Hata kama sifai kuitwa mwana wako (Though I’m not worthy to be called your son)
Give me a chance nitabadilisha mienendo yangu (I shall change my ways)
Usiniache na mwovu shetani Baba (Don’t leave me with the evil Satan)
Ukiniacha nitaangamia ah (If you leave me, I shall be lost)
How many times do I have to suffer, save me the agony my Lord Oh
Badilisha mienendo yangu, iwe kama wewe (Change my ways, to be like yours)
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Take me as I am, njigiliza amakubago nze taata (Teach me your ways Father)
Take me as I am, njigiliza enkolayo nze taata bambi nsaba nsaba ehhh
(Teach me your ways Father)
(Chorus)
