Moyo, mbona unaumia? Moyo, ukikosa unavyotaka? x2 (Why do you hurt my soul? Whenever you lack what you want?)
Moyo wangu umebeba mengi, mbona unajitesa? (You have carried many things my heart, why do you worry yourself?)
Moyo wangu mengine siwezi, mbona unanitesa? (I cannot do some things my soul, why do you make me suffer?)
Mara maisha, mara mapenzi, moyo unajitesa (Now it is about life, now it is about love, you torture yourself my soul)
Maisha hayo mimi siyawezi, ni Mungu ataniwezesha (I am unable to live that life, it is God who will enable me)
Kila wakati nakupambania, nipate raha (Every time I struggle for you, to get joy)
Na mimi, nipate furaha (For me, to get joy)
Najua unahisia, unasikia moyo, moyo! (I know you feel me, and you hear me my soul)
Refrain:
Moyo, tulia moyo (Be still, my soul)
Roho, utulize moyo (Holy Spirit, calm my soul)(Repeat)
Moyo kuwa na subira, nami niwe salama (Be patient my soul, that I might also be safe)
Kwani una tamaa, sio uvumilivu (For you have desires and not patience)
Nesome emuwe Yesu, wekume mutima wange (Wait upon Jesus my heart)
Kwagala mutima wange (Be patient my heart)
Moyo wangu umebeba mengi, mbona unajitesa? (You have carried many things my heart, why do you worry yourself?)
Moyo wangu mengine siwezi, mbona unanitesa? (I cannot do some things my soul, why do you make me suffer?)
Mara maisha, mara mapenzi, moyo unajitesa (Now it is about life, now it is about love, you torture yourself my soul)
Maisha hayo mimi siyawezi, ni Mungu ataniwezesha (I am unable to live that life, it is God who will enable me)
Marafiki zangu ketini, nina neno kwenu (Sit my friends, I have a word for you)
Wapenzi wangu-marafiki zangu, ketini niwaambie (My loves-my friends, sit and let me tell you)
Mnakumbuka siku moja niliwaambianga? (Do you remember the day that I told you?)
Kuna Jina moja baba na mama wanapenda kuliita (There is a name that my father and mother loved to call)
Wakati wa kulala, kuamka, saa nane za usiku wanalika (In the times of sleep, in raising up and during the middle of the night they call it)
Na mimi siku moja nikaamua, kuungana nao kuliita (And one day I decided, to join them in calling the Name)
Wakipiga magoti chini, na mimi napiga o (When they kneel, I also kneel with them)
Jina hilo ni Yesu, Yesu, Yesu (That name is Jesus, Jesus, Jesus)
Toka na mimi niliite jina hilo (From the time I called that name)
Mambo yangu yamefunguka (My things have opened up)
Toka na mimi niite jina hilo (From the time I called that Name)

Waliocheka kwa dharau sasa (The ones who laughed at me with derision)
Amenichekesha huyu Yesu (He has delighted me, this Jesus)
Amenichekesha na mimi (He has given me laughter)
Mwanadamu, mwanadamu, jamani, hatoshelezi (Human, man, is truly not enought)
Kuna m’dalili (?) wambia: mwanadamu habadiliki (I tell you that a man does not change)
Moyo kama nyama (Their heart is of flesh)
Wameweka vituo vya kuchekeshwa (They have placed fake places of laughter)
Wakikuchekesha unabaki na shida (They make you laugh but your issues remain)
Kirudi nyumbani, machozi utalia, utalia tena (When you return home, you will weep again)
Ila ukikutana na huyu yesu, utacheka daima, (But if you encounter Jesus, you will laugh forever)
Furaha, amani, hayatakatika maishani mwako (Joy, peace, will not depart from your life)

Ona amenichekesha (Look at how He has made me laugh)
Repeat: Refrain
Huyu Yesu we (This Jesus)
Niliyekuwa ombaomba na mimi ninaombwa (The one who was a beggar, I am now a lender)
Niliyekopa mavazi leo nakopeshana (The one who borrowed clothes, today I am a lender)

Amenichekesha kwa amani (He has delighted me with peace)
Hajashindwa, kuja na wewe atakuchekesha (He is not unable to also make)
Marafiki zangu, Yesu amenichekesha (My friends, Jesus has given me laughter)
Ndugu zangu, ona Yesu amenichekesha (By brethren, look at how Jesus has given me laughter)
Tangazo, tangazo kwa mapepo na wajumbe wako (Announcement to the devil and his messengers)
Mimi sirudi nyuma kamwe (I will never turn back)
Mmapetuli nao nawapa habari (I have an announcement to the detractors)
Walisema sitasonga, mi nasonga mbele (They said I will be stuck, but I’m pressing on)

Mbele nisiendelee, nigeuke nyuma nimwache? (To stop moving forward, to turn back and leave him?)
Ikiwa ni dhiki, magonjwa, vifungo havitaweza (Neither distress, nor sickness, nor sentencing will make me)
Aliye ndani yangu ni mkuu, ataniwezesha (For the One who lives within me will make me successful)
Hakuhesabu udhaifu wangu (He did not count my weaknesses)
Hakuchukulia tena kwa hasira (He was not angered by me)
Yeye alinibariki bado (He still blessed me)
Hakuwasikiza wal’o leta mashitaka yangu kwake (And did not listen to my accusers)
Kama Ayubu, alitetea bado (Like Job, he defended me)
