Gospel music artist, Israel Mbonyi has released the music video for his song ‘Kaa Nami’ in Kiswahili.
Here are its words in Kiswahili and translated words in English lyrics after:
Kaa nami
Chorus
Ikiwa nimepata neema kwako, unikumbuke
Jicho lako liwe juu yangu nyakati zote
Wema wako unisindikize Hadi tamati
Hili ni ombi langu, nakumwagia moyo Ninachoomba kaa nami
ikiwa nimepata neema kwako
1. Kutakuwa milima haitaondolewa
Kutakuwa na mito na sitaweza kuvuka
Sio kila ombi litajibiwa nipendavyo
Sio kila wimbo utakaotuliza moyo
Nimekupata, nina mtetezi
Unionyeshe njia zako
Nikujue.
2. Kumbuka hayo mema niwaombeayo wanaonifurahia
maadui zangu nao, uwape kukujua
Uwabaliriki kwa utele uwanyeshee mvua
yamkini watapata kuona
Wapumue upendo.
Tunaoshiriki hii huduma,
uwape uamsho
Uwabaliriki kwa utele ,
Baba wala-hi-sishie.
3.Kwa maswali na majibu,
umasikini utajiri, usumbufu utulivu
Ewee Mwokozi kaa nami
Kwa kupanda kwa kushuka,
habari za kuvunja moyo
Kwa uzushi na uongo
Ewee Mwokozi kaa nami.
This is what he wanted to sing in English:
Stay with me
__________
Chorus
If I have found favor with you, remember me
May your eyes be upon me at all times
Your goodness accompanies me to the end
This is my request, I pour out my heart to you What I am asking you is to stay with me
if I have found favor with you
1. There will be mountains not removed
There will be rivers and I will not be able to cross them
Not every request will be answered to my liking
Not every song will calm you down
I got you, I have a defender
Show me your ways
Get to know you.
2. Remember the good things I pray for those who enjoy me
my enemies also, let them know you
May you give them abundant rain
they will probably get to see
Breathe love.
Those we share this ministry,
give them revival
Accept them abundantly,
Father, do not stop.
3. For questions and answers,
poverty wealth, disturbance stability
O Savior, stay with me
By going up and down,
heartbreaking news
For heresy and lies
O Savior, stay with me.
This song is a follow-up to Heri Taifa which was also dominated by Swahili which was released in late July 2024.
