Lyrics by Rose Muhando – Wanyamazishe
Wazamazishe Bwana, wafunge midomo Yesu (Silence them Lord, Jesus close their mouths)
Wazamazishe Bwana, wafunge midomo Yesu (Silence them Lord, Jesus close their mouths)
Wapofushe macho yao wasinione (Blind their eyes to my presence)
Wakae mbali nami, ah! wasinione (That they stay far from me, oh! that they may not see me)
Kwa kuwa walitangaza msiba juu yangu (For they prophesied tragedy over me)
Wala hawakutaka ipone nafsi yangu (Nor they did not want me to heal)
Wakafanya sherehe kupitia jina langu (They celebrated over my name)
Waliona fahari kutangaza mauti yangu (They saw pride in announcing my death)
Wakachuma na pesa kupitia jina langu (They made money through my name)
Hawakuona vibaya kuumiza familia yangu (They did not see it wrong to hurt my family)
Walifanya dhihaka kudhihaki watoto wangu, ah! (They ridiculed my children, ah!)
Namtuma malaika nyumbani kwao ( I’m sending an angel to their homes)
Atangaze msiba kwenye familia zao (To announce grief in their families)
Namtuma Gabrieli malangoni kwao (I’m sending Gabriel to their gates)
Atangaze msiba malangoni kwao (To announce grief in their gates)
Nawafanye matanga maishani mwao (And they have mourning in their lives)
Natangaza msiba kwenye malango yao (I announce grief in their gates)
Natangaza matanga nyumbani kwao (I call upon mourning in their homes)
Yasikome matanga kwenye familia zao (May their families mourn unceasingly)
Laana, kifo, iwe juu yao (Curses, death, to be over them)
Wala wasiwe salama watoto wao (Nor should their children be safe)
Mauti iwe fungu lao (May death be their portion)
Kushindwa kuwe mbele yao (Defeat be before them)
Kwa kuwa mimi nimekutumaini (For I have depended upon You)
Wanyamazishwe (May they be silenced)
Watayaharishwe (May they be scattered)
Wafedheheshwe (May they be embarrassed)
Wahangaike (May they worry)
Waaibishe (May they be ashamed)
Kwa kuwa mimi nimekutumaini, eh! (For I have trusted in You, eh!)
(Hold)
Makaeili wa vita, nakutuma kwao (Michael of War, I sent you to them)
Upeleke mafarakano kwao (Take discord to them)
Wasilielewane wao kwa wao (That they may not understand each other)
Nasema wagombane wao kwa wao (I say that they may argue against each other)
Walane watafunane wao kwa wao (They eat and chew each other)
Wavurugane wao kwa wao (That they disrupt each other)
Maadui wapigane wao kwa wao (The enemies to fight each other)
Mungu mwenyezi awe adui yao (God Almighty be their enemy)
Wakitazama kulia wamwone Gabrieli (When they look to the right, they see Garbriel)
Wakitazama kushoto, wamwone Mikaeli (When they look to the left, they see Michael)
Mbele yangu wamwone Rafaeli (Before me, they see the Archangel Rafael)
Wafadhaike (That they may be dismayed)
Watayarie (That they may be scattered)
Wahangaishe (Worry them)
Waburekishe ( ..?..)
Watayahariki, Usiwape nafasi (That they may be scattered, do not give them space)
Grab it below.
