Tutavua mapambo yetu, (We shall rid ourselves of our ornaments )
Vitu vyote vya thamani kwetu (Everything that we put value on)
Mioyo yetu twaleta mbele zako (We dedicate our hearts to You )
Tutakase na utembee nasi (Please cleanse us and walk with us) (Repeat)
Wastahili wewe Bwana (Lord You deserve) x3
Kupokea utukufu (To receive the Glory)
Refrain:
Ninangojea, ngojea, baraka zangu (I await, wait for my blessings)
‘Na imani nitapokea, pokea (I have faith that I shall receive it)
Ee Mungu wangu (Oh my God)
If I don’t know how to pray
Please Lord teach me, teach me
Oh Lord I want to ..?.. but if I don’t know where to ..?..
please lord show me
Hasa nikifa moyo leo (Why should I lose heart today)
Na kumbe kesho n’do ulipanga (While You have arranged for tomorrow)
Kunipa ..?.. itakuwaje?, aje? (To give me .?. how would it be?)
Nikikata tamaa leo (If I give up today)
Na kumbe kesho n’do ulipanga (While You have planned for tomorrow)
Kuniinua, itakuwaje? (To lift me up, how would it be?)
Bridge:
Nazidi kazana, kwa imani nangoja (I press on, and wait in faith)
Ipo siku itafika (The day will arrive)
(Refrain)
Walio navyo, si ni wewe uliwapa, Baba? (Those who have, isn’t it You who gave them Father?)
Oh Baba, nami ngangoja (Oh Father, I also wait)
Wabariki wasipo bariki Baba (You bless those whom you bless)
Oh Baba, nami ngangoja (Oh Father, I also wait)
Refrain:
Kwako unipaye uzima (To You who gives me life)
Nakupa moyo wangu mzima (I give You my whole heart)
Umeniwezesha kushinda (You enabled me to overcome)
Niliogopa yangenishinda (I had been afraid that I would be defeated)
Majanga tumeshinda, magonjwa tumeshinda (We have won over disasters and disease)
Mitego ya maadui, yote tumeshinda (The enemy’s traps, we’ve overcome all)
Mawimbi na dhoruba, eh Bwana tumeshinda (Winds and waves, Oh Lord we have overcome)
Na tuliogopa yangetushinda (We were afraid that they would defeat us)
Milima na mabonde, eh Bwana tumepita (Mountains and valleys, Lord we have passed through)
Yal’o tutetemesha, Bwana umetuliza (What made us tremble, Lord You have calmed it)
Yal’o tuogopesha, umeondoa mashaka (What made us afraid, Lord You have removed our fear)
Na tuliogopa yangetushinda (We were afraid that we would be defeated)
(Refrain)
Sasa nakupa shukrani zangu, nakupa (Now I give you all my thanks)
Baba pokea sadaka yangu ya sifa (Father receive my offering of praise)
Bwana nakupa moyo wangu, nakupa (Lord I give You my heart)
Nakupa moyo wangu mzima (I give You my whole heart) (Repeat)
Kile unapanda utavuna wewe (What you sow, you shall also reap)
Ukipanda mazuri, utavuna wewe (If you sow goodness, that is what you’ll reap)
Kile unapanda utavuna wewe (What you sow, you shall also reap)
Ukipanda maovu, utavuna wewe (If you sow evil, that is what you shall reap)

Katika maisha yako jifunze kuwa na kumbukumbu (In your life, teach yourself to have remembrance)
Lolote ufanyalo, lazima kuweka kumbukumbu (In everything you do, remember it)
Mema na mabaya, lazima uandike kumbukumbu (Goodness and evil, you must remember)
Basi, yale uliyopanda jana, ndivyo unavyoishi leo (For what you sowed yesterday, that is your life today)
Na yale unayopanda leo, kesho utalipa gharama (And what you sow today, you shall pay for it tomorrow)
Ikiwa mmebana mabaya, lazima utalipa gharama (If you have forbidden evil, you must pay the price)
Gharama, gharama, gharama! (The cost, the cost, the cost!)
Gharama, gharama, gharama!
li li la la la la…
Na ipo/ninalipa gharama flani ya mambo/vitu flani nilifanya (There is a price for some things I did)
Gharama ya choices, decisions, conflictions nilimake (The cost of choices, decisions and conflicts that I caused/made)
Ninajutia makosa nilifanya, mami (I regret the mistakes I made) (Repeat)
Kumbuka dunia haisemi uongo, ni lazima utalipa (Remember the world does not lie, there is a cost for everything)
Usije beba mawe ukaumiza mgongo, ukaharibu future (So that you would not be like Sisyphus, hurt your back and destroyed your future)
What would I go, what would I do?
Maji yakimwagika hayazoleki (Spilled water cannot be collected)
What you should do, mwombe Mungu (You should pray to God)
Akishasamehe, wala hakumbuki (For when he forgives, he no longer remembers)
Saa zingine kama binadamu huwa tunajidharau (Sometimes as humans we despise ourselves)
Tukikumbuka udhaifu wetu (When we remember our weaknesses)
Na hali zinazo uzidi uwezo wetu (And situations that overwhelm us)
Binadamu, huwa tunajichukia sababu ya mwonekano wetu (Humans, we hate ourselves because of our views)
Tamani ungekuwa na sura kama yule flani (Desiring that we had the facial structures of someone else)
Binadamu ntunajidharau tukikumbuka matatizo yetu (Humans we despise ourselves remembering our troubles)
Unahisi ni kama muumba amekusahau (Feeling as if the Creator has forgotten you)
Refrain:
Hivyo ulivyo, Mungu anakupenda wewe (God loves you, just as you are)
Hivyo ulivyo, yeye anakuwazia mema (He intends good for you, just as you are)(Repeat)
Ukiwa na Mungu jipende, wewe jipende (When you are with God, love yourself, You love yourself)
Ukiwa na Mungu jipende (When you are with God, love yourself)(Repeat)
Jipende wewe jipende (Love yourself, you love yourself) ×3
Jipende wewe jipende (Love yourself, you love yourself) ×3
Penda sura yako, penda maisha yako (Love your appearance, love your life)
Penda mwili wako na nyumba yako (Love your body and your house)
Familia yako, jipende ulivyo (Your family, love yourself as you are)(Repeat)
Shikamana shikamana shikamana na Mungu (Cleave to God)
Usimuache, usimuache (Do not leave Him)
(Refrain)
