Ni litsulitsa lio mwami weru Yesu lwa yavambwa
(We reflect on the the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus)
Lwa Yuda yatsamâ Yesu, vamuvamba, vamuvamba!
(When Judas betrayed Jesus, He was crucified)
Na vutswa khandi khwasoma, ivanjeli ka handikhwa
(As we have read in the scriptures, it is written)
Ubwoni bweru bwakira vamuvamba, vamuvamba!
(Because of our sins He was crucified, He was crucified)

(Vamuvamba) Yesu vamuvamba, Yesu vamuvamba (Crucified, Jesus was crucified)
Yesu vamuvamba (vamuvamba), Yesu vamuvamba (Crucified, Jesus was crucified)

Vali Vayuda vamuvamba, mwami wanje Yesu vamuvamba
(The Jews crucified my Savior, Jesus was crucified)
Yesu vamuvamba (mwami wanje), Yesu vamuvamba (Crucified, (my Lord) Jesus was crucified)
Yesu vamuvamba (vamuvamba), Yesu vamuvamba (Crucified, Jesus was crucified)

Lwa ndaIi muheyi ndamuvamba (When I was unfaithful, I crucified Him) x3
Mwami wanje Yesu ndamuvamba (Yesu ndamuvamba) (My Lord Jesus, I crucified Jesus)
Yesu vamuvamba (mwami wanje), Yesu vamuvamba  (Crucified, (my Lord) Jesus was crucified)
Yesu vamuvamba (vamuvamba), Yesu vamuvamba (Crucified, Jesus was crucified)

Lwa ndali muloji  (When I practiced witchfraft)

Mu masahi gege Yesu, khwahonywa myoyo ryeru
(Through the Blood of Jesus, our souls are saved)
Mu livambwa lyelye Yesu, kwaverelwa tsimbavasi

Rain Swahili Gospel Lyrics, Tanzania , , , , , , Leave a comment


(Sung in Kiswahili)

Ni moja, ni moja jana, ni moja leo (It is the same, yesterday and today)
Ni moja asili yake ni Yesu Kristo  (The foundation is Jesus Christ)
Ibada moja, sheria moja, mapokeo yale yale  (Common worship, common norm and traditions)
Limeenea pande zote, ulimwengu mzima (Has spread throughout the world)

Refrain:
(Najivunia) Nimezaliwa kwenye moja ([I’m proud] Born to the one)
Kanisa takatifu sana  (The holy church)
Katoliki la mitume kweli (Catholic of the apostles/saints)
Nikabatizwa, mimi Mkatoliki (I have been baptized, I’m a Catholic) (Repeat)

Liliwachwa mikononi mwa halifa wake, Mtume Petro
(It was left to His steward, apostle Peter)
Alipokabidhiwa na Bwana Yesu alichunge Kanisa
(He was entrusted by Lord Jesus to shepherd the Church)
Mridhi wake ndiye Papa wetu, Baba Mtakatifu
(His successor is our father, the holy Pope)

(Refrain)

Sakramenti za kutuweka karibu kabisa na Mwenyezi
(The Sacraments that place us closer to the Almighty)
Ubatizo, ekaristi, kipaimara, upadre na ndoa
(Baptism, Eucharist, confirmation, priesthood and matrimony)
Na kitubio, mpako wa wagonjwa kujipatanisha na Baba
(Alongside confession and anointing of the sick to reconcile us with the Father)

(Refrain)

Repeat: Simama eh tumshangilie Mungu, kwa zawadi ya imani Katoliki (Stand let us praise God for the gift of the Catholic faith)
Mkatoliki simama (Stand, Catholic)
Tusimame tulinde imani yetu (Stand, let us defend our faith)
Sheria za kanisa ni nguzo yetu (The Church’s laws our foundation)
Amri kumi za Mungu msingi wetu (The ten commandments of God our foundation)
Amri ya upendo yamaliza yote (The commandment of Love completes it all)

(Sung in Kiswahili)

Haitakua rahisi, kulitangaza Neno (It will not be easy, to proclaim the Gospel)
Kwani shetani yupo, anavizia vizia (For the devil is there, lurking)
Bila nguvu yako Mungu, hatutafanukiwa (Without your strength, we shall not succeed)
Tegemeo letu, lina baki kwako–wewe! (Our hope, remain on you alone!)

Refrain:
Tumaini letu (kwako Bwana) (Our hope (in You Lord))
Tegemeo letu wewe (wewe uliye juu) (Our refuge is you (You who is on high))
Twakutegemea pekee yako (We depend on You alone)
Ndiwe nguvu yetu wewe (You are our strength)
Tumaini letu (kwako Bwana) (Our hope (in You Lord))
Tegemeo letu wewe (wewe uliye juu) (Our refuge is you (You who is on high))
Twakutegemea pekee yako (We depend on You alone)
Wewe Mungu wetu (wewe Mungu wetu) (You are our God (You are our God))

Katika maisha yetu, tunapitia magumu (In our lives, we go through hardships)
Wenyewe hatuwezi, tunajikongoja bure (We cannot do it alone, we would labor in vain)
Bila nguvu yako Mungu, hatuta fanikiwa (Without Your strength God, we shall not succeed)
Tegemeo letu, linabaki kwako wewe! (Our hope, remain in You alone!)

(Refrain)

Kwenye familia zetu, migogoro inazidi (In our families, strife increase)
Hakuna wa kujishusha, malumbano kila siku (No one humbles themselves, quarrels every day)
Bila pendo lako Mungu, hatutafanukiwa (Without Your love God, we would not succeed)
Tegemeo letu, linabaki kwako wewe! (Our hope, remain in You alone!)

(Refrain)

Tazama uchumi wetu, madeni yanatuzidi (Look at our economy, debts overwhelm us)
Biashara nazo ngumu, ajira zimeyeyuka (The businesses are hard, employment has evaporated)
Bila neema zako Mungu, hatutafanikiwa (Without your Grace God, we will not succeed)
Tegemeo letu, linabaki kwako wewe! (Our hope, remain in You alone!)

(Refrain)
