(Languages: Kiswahili and some English)

I wish you good, I wish you good
I wish you good, I wish you good

Ndugu yangu tangu umetanga mbali (My brother since you went far away)
Ona sijakutia tena machoni (I have not seen you again)
Nabaki ‘jiuliza uliko je, pako shwari? (I remain wondering where you are, is it peaceful there?)
Ama pamejaa wana tafrani? (Or is it full of troublemakers?)
Nimekaa, nikawaza (I sat and thought)
Nikaona nikutakie baraka (And decided to wish you blessings)
Kusudi lote ulinitendea, usijali nimeachilia (Whatever you did to me, don’t worry, I have let it go)

Pendo la Baba linisearch mwana (The Father’s love searched for me, His child)
Likanikuta nimeinama (And found me bowed down)
Limenifanya upya, limenibadilisha (It made me new, it transformed me)
Nimesahau uliyoyatenda jana (I have forgotten what you did yesterday)
Ukanielekeza, ili nisamehewe (You directed me so that I may be forgiven)
Inabidi nisamehe (I must forgive)
Na ili nisonge mbele (So that I may move on)
Inabidi nisahau (I must forget)

Sio kila mtu uliyenaye maishani (Not everyone you have in your life)
Ameletwa kwa kusudi lako (Was brought for your purpose)
Wengine uwaelewe tu wakiondoka (Some, you just have to understand when they leave)
Wangeziba kusudi lako (They would block your purpose)
Vingine tunaviacha viende (Some things we let go)
Ili moyo ubaki na amani (So the heart may remain in peace)
Kuna wengine tunawaacha waende (There are some we let go)
Maishani tubaki na amani (So that we remain with peace in life)

Repeat: I wish you good, I wish you good
Sikuchukii (I do not hate you)
Nakuombea (I pray for you)
Sikuchukii (I do not despise you)
I wish you good

Hello, hello dear, my friend
Kweli nilikupenda (Truly, I loved you)
Ila Mungu ndio anajua, why why (But only God knows why, why)
Aliruhusu ukaenda (He allowed you to go)
Na ilikuwa ngumu kuelewa (It was hard to understand)
Kitu gani Mungu ananipangia mie (What God was planning for me)
Ghairi gumu kuzoea (It was difficult to get used to)
Ila mapenzi ya Mungu, acha yatimie (But God’s will, let it be done)
Kweli ulinitoa machozi, sikatai (Truly, I don’t deny that you made me cry)
Ila akaja Mungu kayafuta (But God came and wiped them away)
Moyoni mwangu nimekuacha uende kwa amani (In my heart, I have let you go in peace)
Kumbukumbu za mabaya nafuta (I erase the memories of the bad things)

Na upendo wa Baba ulinitafuta mwana (And the Father’s love sought me, His child)
Ukanikuta nalia sana (And found me weeping)
Umenibadilisha, umenifanya upya (It changed me, made me new)
Nimepona maumivu ya jana (I have healed from yesterday’s pain)
Ili nisamehewe (So that I may be forgiven)
Inabidi nisamehe (I must forgive)
Na ili nisonge mbele (And so that I may move forward)
Inabidi nisahau (I must forget)

Ule moyo uliovunja (That heart you broke)
Mungu kautengeneza (God has mended it)
Kanipatia furushi la pendo (He gave me a bundle of love)
Na ile chuki nikalitelekeza (And I abandoned that hatred)
Kwenye nafasi ukikunja (Where you failed me)
Pa kunisifu ulibeza (Where you should have praised me, you mocked)
Ila moyo umejaa amani (But my heart is full of peace)
Sina tena chuki pa kuziweka (I no longer have a place to keep hatred)
Kwa moyo mmoja, eh (With one heart)
Uwe na amani ondoa uoga (Have peace, have no fear)
Na umwamini Mungu (And trust God)
Usihofu jirani, sitakuroga (Do not fear, my friend, I will not harm you)
Nimeshafuta jama, he nimeshafuta (I have already erased it all, yes I have erased it)
Chuki nimeshafuta, he nimeshafuta (Hatred I have erased, yes I have erased it)
Nimeshafuta bwana, he nimeshafuta (I have erased it, yes I have erased it)
Yote nimeshafuta, mimi nimeshafuta (Everything I have erased, I have erased it)

Tuliondoka tukiwa yatima (We left as orphans)
Tumerudi tunaye Baba (We have returned with a Father)
Aliondoka akiwa mjane (She left as a widow)
Ona amerudi amepata mume (See, she has returned with a husband)
Tuliondoka tukiwa hatuna kitu (We left having nothing)
Tumerudi kimejaa kibubu (We have returned with abundance)
Na yale yote mliotenda kwa kukosa utu (And all the things you did without humanity)
Tumesamehe moyoni, hatuna beef (We have forgiven, and bear no grudge)

Pendo la Baba linisearch mwana (The Father’s love searched for me, His child)
Likanikuta nimeinama (It found me bowed down)
Limenibadilisha limenifanya upya (It has changed me and made me new)
Nimesahau uliyoyatenda jana (I have forgotten what you did yesterday)
Kaniambia, ili nisamehewe (He told me, so that I may be forgiven)
Inabidi nisamehe (I must forgive)
Na ili nisonge mbele (So that I may move on)
Inabidi nisahau (I must forget)

Repeat: I wish you good, I wish you good
Sikuchukii (I do not hate you)
Namekusamehe, nakuombea (I have forgiven you, I pray for You)
Sikuchukii (I do not despise you)
Nimeachilia (I have let it go)

Kisa Sina (Because I Lack) Lyrics by Japhet Zabron

(Sung in Kiswahili)

Refrain:
Usin’cheke kisa sina (Don’t mock me because I lack)
Mungu aweza ridhia (God can grant my wishes)
Nami niwe na vyangu (That I may have my portion)
Maana najua vipo vya kwangu (For I know there is what)
Alishaniandikia (He has ordained for me)
Hata kama leo sina (But even if I lack today)
Mungu aweza ridhia (God can consent that)
Vyote vilivyo vyako viwe vya kwangu (What was Yours to be mine)
Kumbe vya kwangu, alishaniandikia (He has written it)

Nikiamka ni ibada mi nakabidthi mipango yote (I wake with prayer, committing all plans)
Kwa Mungu agawaye ..? kitu (To the God who apportions everything)
Ili angalau jua lisizame nikarudi (That the sun would not set and I return)
Bila ya chochote, mkono mitupu (With nothing, with empty hands)
Sio mzembe wa ibada wala shughuli za kidunia (I am not neglectful of worship or pursue worldly things)
Naishi kwa nguvu za mwenyezi Mungu (I live through the the power of Almighty God)
Ili angalau hata nikiomba nisimuudhi (So that I may not annoy Him in my prayer)
Mungu akakosa kujibu maombi (And God neglects to answer my prayer)

Kuna hali napitia yaniumiza (I’ve been through tough times)
Ila najua upo, we Mungu taimaliza (But I know you are there, God You will complete me)
Maana nakujua Baba (For I know You, Father)
Hujawahi shindwa na lolote (You have never been defeated by anything)
Hakuna mwingine zaidi, hapana (There is no one greater, no)
Na fedheha, aibu na dharau (And disgrace, shame and contempt)
N’ta zipitia kwa muda (I will go through them for a time)
Mungu najua ule wakati sahihi ukifika utanibariki (God I know that You will bless me at the right time)
Na n’tasahau machungu hapana (And I will completely forget my troubles)

(Refrain)

Mungu akikawia kulipa, sio kwamba hanipendi (If God delays His response is not because He doesn’t love me)
Wala sio kwamba simwamini, au sijui kuomba (And not because I don’t believe Him, or not know to pray)
Ye huliteleza kusudi lake, tena kwa wakati wake (He does His intent in His time)
Kama apendavyo, apendavyo Baba (As he wills, as the Father wills)
Huenda nimepiga simu nyingi, kukuomba msaada (It may have made many phone calls asking for help)
Hata nikakukera, unisamehe nilikukwaza (That I irritated you, forgive me for alienating you)
Ni shida zilinisumbua, sikupata hata pa kushika (It is my situation that troubled me that didn’t know what to do)
Si kupenda kwangu, nausubiri wakati wa Mungu (It is not what I would wish, for I wait for God)

(Refrain)
