Israel Mbonyi’s new song titled ’Heri Taifa’ in Swahili was released on July 30, 2024, a few days after he became Brand Ambassador of Malton drink.
Before translating it in English, here are the lyrics in Swahili with two English lines.
Swahili Lyrics:
Nikasikia sauti nyikani
Tengenezeni njiya yake,
Nyosheni mapito yake
Sogeleeni kiti cha neema
Mpate utakaso
Oh what a blessing
Oh what a grace
Heri aoshae (afuae),
Kanzu yake ndani ya damu
Akiliamini neno alilo ambiwa nae
Atakua kama Mti kando ya maji
Majani yake huyo,
Yatakua ma bichi daima
Chorus:
Heri walio na hilo agano
Wanaye Mungu kama mwokozi wao
Watasitawi nyumbani mwake
Hao wataitwa wana wa upendo.
Tutasitawi nyumbani mwake
Sisi, tutaitwa wana wa upendo
Verse:
Moyo wangu, sifu Mungu
Sifu Mungu Sifu Mungu
– Nuru ilikuangaziya wewe uliye mpole,
Utairithi inchi, utafarijiwa
– Nuru ilikuangaziya mwenye moyo safi
Utabarikiwa, utamuona Mungu
Bridge:
Heri taifa ambalo Bwana ni Mungu wao,
Ni wana wa upendo
Aliyowachagulia kuwa urithi wake.
English Lyrics:
I heard a voice in the wilderness
Make his way,
Show his path
Approach the throne of grace
May you be cleansed
Oh what a blessing
Oh what a grace
Blessed who washed,
His coat in blood
If he believed the word he was told
He will grow like a tree by the water
Its leaves,
They will always grow wild
Chorus:
Blessed are those who have that covenant
They have God as their savior
They will flourish in his house
They will be called sons of love.
We will thrive in his house
We will be called sons of love
Verse:
My heart, praise God
Praise God Praise God
-The light shone on you who are gentle,
You will inherit the land, you will be comforted
- The light shined on the pure hearted
You will be blessed, you will see God
bridge:
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
They are sons of love
He chose them to be his inheritance.
