(Sung in Kiswahili)

Refrain:
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 (Let them Go) Lyrics by Rose Muhando

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…

Nasonga Mbele (I’m Pressing On) Lyrics by Kelsy Kerubo ft. Rose Muhando

(Sung in Swahili)

Nimeshapata (I have received) x2

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)
Huyu Yesu, ni mwache niende kwa nani? (This Jesus, if I leave Him, where would I go?)
Huyu Yesu, mimi namtazamia juu juu (This Jesus, I will continually look up to Him)

Refrain:
Nasonga mbele, kama mgambo (I’m pressing onward, like a ranger)
Sirudi nyuma, sirudi nyuma kamwe (I do not turn back, never do I turn back)
Nainua macho yangu juu (I lift up my eyes)
Mawazo yangu yote juu (All my thoughts are of on high)
Kila kitu changu chote juu kwake (All my plans are on Him)
Ananipenda! (For He loves me!)

Hivi ni nini kitachonifanya nimwache Mungu (For what can lead me to abandon God?)
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)
Yeye Hakimu wa kweli (For He is a just judge)
Hapewi rushwa anajua haki zangu (He cannot be bribed, he knows my rights)

(Refrain)

Sifikirii kushindwa (I do not ponder my defeat)
Sina ndoto ya kuchoka (I do not dream of my exhaustion)
Ataniwezesha (For He will enable me)

Wapo wengi wenye chuki na kero (There are many with hatred and annoyance)
Waliponikera, yeye akapigana (When they troubled me, He fought for me)
Wapo wengi walinipa masaa (There are many that counted my days)
Kwenye wokovu leo wanashangaa (They are now surprised with my salvation)
Kweli kweli alisema, ataandaa meza yangu (Truly He said, He will prepare my table)
Mbele yao maadui, leo wanaboba (Before my enemies, now they are confused)

(Refrain)

Watasubiri wangojee (They will wait and wait)
Watangoja washangae (The will wait and be surprised)
Kwani yeye Bwana (For the Lord)
Atanipeleka juu (Will take me higher)
