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 kuimba (The walls of Jericho were destroyed by 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)
(Refrain)
