Swahili Lyrics with English translation:

Nina Shukuru, He Baba Wangu - I am grateful, O my (Spiritual) Father

Nime Furahi, Leo Sana, - I am filled with much joy today

Nimeku ona, Leo Mowla, - I have glanced at You today Mowla

Nimeku funga, moyoni mwangu - I have locked You up (captured you), inside of my heart

 

Nita kumbuka kila siku - I shall remember each and every day

Sikuku ya Leo maisha yangu - The Eid (celebration) of today, until the end of my life

Naku omba, kwa moyo mwangu - I beseech You with all my heart

Niweke salama, moyoni mwako - Keep me safely, within Your heart

 

Usikie vizuri, maimbo zangu - Hear nicely these songs of mine

Naomba kwako, neema yako - I am begging from You, Your grace (pleasure)

Naku penda, na roho yangu - I Love You from within my soul

Niweke salaama, moyoni mwako - Keep me safely, within Your heart

 

Naimba leo, kwenye sherehe - I am singing today during the festival (Golden Jubilee)

Kasida hizi, za sifa zako - These Kasida (devotional songs) of Your praise

Lete Baraka, Nchi Tanzania - Bring Barakat (prosperity) to the Country of Tanzania

Lete Baraka, Uganda Kenya - Bring Barakat (prosperity) to Uganda, Kenya

Niweke salama, Moyoni mwako - Keep me safely, within Your heart
