(Sung in Kiswahili)

Repeat: Njia ile ni nyembamba iendayo uzimani (The road to salvation is narrow)
Njia ile ni nyembamba iendayo uzimani  (The road to salvation is narrow) x2
Wenye dhambi hawawezi kuipita njia ile  (The sinners cannot pass through that path)
Nawakumbusha wachawi hawawezi kuipita njia ile  (I remind you that witches and sorcerers cannot pass)
Na walevi marufuku kuipita njia ile  (It is forbidden for drunkards to pass through that path)
Waganga na wachawi hamuwezi kuipita njia ile  (Sorcerers and witches cannot pass)
Nawakumbusha walevi hamuwezi kuipita njia ile  (I remind you that drunkards cannot pass) 
Njia ile ni nyembamba iendayo uzimani  (The road to salvation is narrow)

Repeat: Njia ile ni nyembamba iendayo uzimani (The road to salvation is narrow)
Njia ile ni nyembamba iendayo uzimani  (The road to salvation is narrow)
Wateule kaza mwendo muipite njia ile (The chose keep up the pace to pass through)
Walokole kazaneni kuipita njia ile (The saved ones keep up the pace to pass through)
Wachungaji kaza mwendo tuipite njia ile (Pastors keep up the pace to pass through the path)
Waimbaji mko wapi? Njia ile ni nyembaba (Where are the singers? The road is narrow)
Wenye mi..? hawawezi kuipita njia ile (The ..?.. cannot pass through the path)
Nanyi wauwaji hamumezi kuipita njia ile (You murderers cannot pass through that path)

Repeat: Njia ile ni nyembamba iendayo uzimani (The road to salvation is narrow)
Njia ile, njia ile, njia ile ni nyembamba (That path, that path is narrow)
Wana maombi kazaneni muipite njia ile (Intercessors keep up the pace to pass through)
Yesu yuko mbele yenu, ingieni mji ule (Jesus is ahead of you, enter the city)
Yesu yuko mbele yenu, anawangoja mji ule (Jesus is ahead of you, waiting to welcome you)
WanaTikTok kumbukeni njia ile ni nyembaba (TikTokers remember that the path is narrow)
Wapenda starehe kumbukeni njia ile ni ngumu mno (Leisure lovers, remember the path is difficult)
Wazururaji kumbukeni njia ile ni nyembamba (Wanderers remember the path is narrow)
Washirikina mwasemaje? Njia ile ni nyembamba (Superstitious ones what say you? The path is narrow)
Waabudu sanamu mwasemaje? Njia ile ni ngumu mno (Idol worshipers what say you? The way is difficult)
Walio tayari wanafurahi kuingia mji ule (The ready ones will rejoice to enter the city)
Waenda kuzimu wanaogopa kuipita njia ile (The hell-bound are afraid to pass through the path)
Wanaume walaghai mwasemaje? Njia ile ni ngumu mno (Swindlers, what say you? The way is difficult)
Wakosa nidhamu mwasemaje? Njia ile ni ngumu mno (The undisciplined, what say you? The way is difficult)
Watembea uchi mwasemaje? Njia ile ni ngumu mno (The nightrunners what say you? The path is difficult)
Wafaya mizaha mwasemaje? Njia ile ni ngumu mno (The jokers, what say you? The way is difficult)
Njia ile ni nyembamba iendayo uzimani  (The road to salvation is narrow) x2

Hatua, hatua zangu (Steps, my steps)
Zinaongozwa, na Bwana  (Are led by the Lord)
Hatua, hatua zangu (Steps, my steps)
Zinaongozwa, na Bwana  (Are led by the Lord)
Nikitaka kusogea, sogea (If I want to advance)
Ananisogeza (He advances me)
Nikitaka kupandisha panda (If I want to climb)
Ananipandisha (He lifts me up)
Nikitaka kusogea, sogea (If I want to advance)
Ananisogeza (He advances me)
Nikitaka kupandisha panda (If I want to climb)
Ananipandisha (He lifts me up)
Panda, panda, panda, panda  (Climb up, climb, climb)
Hatua! (Step!)

Kumbe hatua zangu, zinaongozwa na wewe (Truly my steps are led by You)
Mikakati yangu, inapangwa na wewe (My strategies, are planned by you)
Kila stepu stepu, natembea na wewe (I walk all my steps with You)
Kila mahali, natembea na wewe (I walk with you in every place)
Huku na huko, natetembea na wewe  (Here and there, I walk with You)
Kibali chako, uwepo wako (Your approval and your presence)
Neema yako, kibali chako   (Your grace and your favor)
Tembea nami x2 Usiniachilie x2  (Walk with me, do not leave me)
Nikaanguka, nikajikwaa  (To fall, to stumble)

(Refrain)

Ni nani awezaye kuhesabu nywele za kichwa changu na aseme!
(Who can count the number of hairs on my head, tell me!)
Ni nani awezaye kuhesabu hatua za Mungu aendapo aseme!
(Who can count the steps of God where He goes, tell me!)
Amenichora kweye vitanga vya mikono yake x2  (He has drawn me in the palms of His hands)
Ameandika jina langu mikoni mwake  (He has written my name on His hands)
Ameandika na siku zangu kwa damu yake  (He has written my days by His blood)
Nikiongozwa na nani? Nikiongozwa naye  (Led by whom? Led by Him)
Nikitembezwa na nani? Ninatembe na yeye  (Walking with who? I am walking with Him)
Baraka zangu, mikononi mwake (My blessings are in His hands)
Amani yangu, mikononi mwake (My peace is in His hands)
Nainuliwa, mikononi mwake (I am lifted by His hands)
Hatua, hatua zangu (My steps, my steps)
Zinaongozwa, na Bwana  (Are led by the Lord)

Akikanyaga, nami nakanyaga pale (Where He steps, there I step)
Akikosha, nami ninakosha pale (Where He cleans, there I clean)
Akikanyaga, nami nakanyaga pale (Where He steps, there I step)
Alama kaniachia x2  (His scars are the testimony)
Nasonga, nasonga (I move, I advance)

Refrain:
Waache waende, he waende (Let them go, let them go)
Waache waende, ni mbaya kung’ang’ania (Let them go, it is bad to cling to them)
Waache waende, he waende (Let them go, let them go)
Wabariki waende, si vizuri kung’angania (Bless them and let them go, it is not good to cling to them)

Kuwa maakini na mtu yeyote aliye karibu yako
(Be careful with whom you let be near you)
Acha kumwamini kwa kuwa anacheka, ukamweleza mambo yako
(Do believe them and tell them your plans, because they laugh)
Siku akichoka asije geuka katoboa siri zako
(So that the day they tire of you, they may not reveal your secrets)
Funga mdomo, jifanye seseta asije soma moyo wako
(Shut your mouth, behave like a mute–so that they may not read your heart)
Ukimwona rafiki yako, anacheka na adui yako
(When you see your friend laughing with your enemies)
Jua umekwisha-umeuzwa wewe pamoja na roho yako
(Know that you are done for–you have been sold together with your heart)
Jana nilimwona na Juma lokole akieleza siri zako
(Yesterday I saw them with the gossipt, telling your secrets)
Kapeleka macommenti, anauza mafaili kuanika aibu zako
(They took comments, selling your files revealing your shame)
Nyima thamani yako, akili kichwani mwako
(Protect your worth, the wisdom in your head)
Lenye mwanzo lina mwisho, fukuza kabisa watoke kwako
(What has a beginning has an end, chase them to get out of you)

(Refrain)

Kilazimisha wabaki kwako, wataumiza akili yako (If you force them to remain with you, they will rob you of your peace)
Wataharibu CV yako, mwisho watachimba kaburi lako (They will destroy your CV, and finally dig your grave)
Mungu anajua wema wako… hebu tuliza moyo wako… (God knows your goodness… calm your heart)
Wakiondoka fagia nyayo yao, watakuja wengine (When they leave, sweep their footsteps away, others will come)
Si lazima, si lazima kung’ang’ania (It is not a must for you to struggle with them )

(Refrain)

Gharama (The Cost) Lyrics by Guardian Angel ft Rose Muhando

1 Comment


(Sung in Swahili)

li li la la la la…

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)

li li la la la la…

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)

li li la la la la…
