Martha Mwaipaja - Niko Hapa Lyrics

Translated to English: See the original Swahili lyrics down the page

Eeeeh...
Niko hapa baba (I’m here dad)
Niko hapa, Niko hapa (I’m here, I’m here)
Niko hapa mimi nakungonja (I’m here waiting for you)
Niko hapa (I’m here)

Nimejaribu (I've tried)
Hakuna nililoweza(Nothing I could do)
Niko kwako Mungu wangu (I’m at your place my God)
Unitetee (Protect me)

Nimefika mwisho (I've reached the end)
Wa akili zangu Mungu (Of my mind God)
Baba, baba, unitetee (Father, father protect me)

Wewe dawa yangu (You’re my medicine)
Wewe uzima wangu (You’re my life)
Ponya majeraha yangu baba (Heal my injuries father)

Nimeskia umeponya wengi (I've heard you healed many)
Na mimi, na mimi (And me, and me)
Baba niko hapa (Father I’m here)

Wewe dawa yangu (You’re my medicine)
Wewe uzima wangu (You’re my life)
Ponya majeraha yangu eh (Heal my injuries father)

Hakuna aliyeweza nisaidia (No one could help me)
Niko kwako baba (I’m at your place father)
Mikononi salama (In safe hands)

Siwezi, siwezi (I can’t, I can’t)
Ona madaktari (See doctors)
Wote wameshindwa (They’ve all failed)

Nimekukimbilia Mungu (I run to you God)
Nimekutazama Mungu (I’ve watched you God)
Hakuna aliyekuja kwako Mungu (No one came to you God)
Wewe ukamuacha (And you abandoned him)

Mponyaji wangu (My healer)
Uzima wangu (My health)
Futa machozi yangu eh (Wipe my tears eh)

Mwenyewe siwezi (I can’t alone)
Baba siwezi (Dad I can’t)
Mzigo huu ni mzito sana (This burden is too heavy)
Nitoe (Take me)

Usiniache baba (Don’t leave me father)
Nimekutazama wewe (I look upon you)
Niko hapa baba eh (I’m here father eh)

Niko hapa, Niko hapa (I’m here, I’m here)Niko hapa baba nakungonja (I’m here father waiting for you)
Niko hapa (I’m here)

Niko hapa, Niko hapa (I’m here, I’m here)Niko hapa baba nakungonja (I’m here father waiting for you)
Niko hapa (I’m here)

Niko hapa, Niko hapa (I’m here, I’m here)Niko hapa baba nakungonja (I’m here father waiting for you)
Niko hapa (I’m here)

Niko hapa, Niko hapa (I’m here, I’m here)Niko hapa baba nakungonja (I’m here father waiting for you)
Niko hapa (I’m here)

Niko hapa, Niko hapa (I’m here, I’m here)
Niko hapa baba nakungonja (I’m here father waiting for you)
Niko hapa (I’m here)

Niko hapa Yesu, Niko hapa (I’m here Jesus, I’m here)
Niko hapa mimi nakungonja (I’m here waiting for you)
Niko hapa (I’m here)

Nimejaribu kusema na watu (I've tried to talk to people)
Watu wameniacha ah (People have left me ah)
Niko hapa (I’m here)

Nimejaribu kujitetea sana (I’ve tried much to defend myself)
Nimeshindwa baba (I’ve failed father)
Niko hapa (I’m here)

Nimekutana na mengi (I’ve met a lot)
Nimejua siwezi (I know I can’t)
Baba nakungonja (Father I wait for you)

Nimepigana sana (I’ve fought much)
Nimeshindwa (I’ve failed)
Baba nakungonja (Father I wait for you)

Nilichoelewa (What I understand)
Magumu nitakutana nayo (I’ll meet difficulties)
Lakini baba niko hapa (But I’m still here)
Nakungonja (I wait for you)

Kuna mengi yatakayokuja (There's plenty to come)
Hilo najua (That I know)
Lakini niko kwako baba (But I'm here for you)
Nitetee (Protect me)

Yapo yatakayoumiza moyo (Things will hurt my heart)
Lakini sitakuacha baba (But I’ll not leave you father)
Nitazame (Protect me)

Niko hapa Yesu (I’m here Jesus)
Niko hapa baba (I’m here father)
Niko hapa baba (I’m here father)
Nitetee (Protect me)

Hata moyo wangu ukiugua (Even if my heart ails)
Najua kwako kuna tumaini (I know there’s hope in you)

Hata machozi yangu (Even my tears)
Yakitiririka sana (Fall heavily)
Wewe utanifuta (You’ll wipe me)

Hata kama miguu yangu (Even if my legs)
Ikiishiwa nguvu (Lose power)
Utaniinua tena (You’ll lift me again)

Nimejua kwako (I’ve known in you)
Nikitulia, ushindi (If I persist, victory)
Nitaupata (I’ll find it)

Hakuna aliyekungonja (No one who waited for you)
Akaaibika (Was put to shame)
Niko hapa Masiah (I’m here Messiah)

Kila aliyekungonja (Everyone who awaited you)
Aliona neema (Saw grace)
Niko hapa (I’m here)

Japo itaonekana (Though it’ll appear)
Unachelewa kujibu (Your reply is overdue)
Bado sitachoka (I’ll still not tire)

Hakuna aliyekusubiri (No one waited for you)
Wewe baba (You father)
Ukamwacha mwenyewe (And you abandoned him)

Ibrahimu asingengonjea (If Abraham did not wait)
Tusingemuita (We couldn’t call him)
Baba wa imani (The father of faith)

Hannah asingesubiri kwako (If Hannah did not wait for you)
Tusingejua (We couldn’t know)
Wewe ni baba wa wote (You’re the father of all)

Japo kusubiri (Though waiting)
Si kitu rahisi (Is not a simple thing)
Lakini bado (But still)
Nitakusubiri (I’ll wait for you)

Niko hapa, Niko hapa (I’m here, I’m here)
Niko hapa baba nakungonja (I’m here father waiting for you)
Niko hapa (I’m here)

Niko hapa, Niko hapa (I’m here, I’m here)
Niko hapa Yesu niko hapa (I’m here Jesus, I’m here)
Niko hapa (I’m here)

Niko hapa, Niko hapa (I’m here, I’m here)
Niko hapa baba nakungonja (I’m here father waiting for you)
Niko hapa (I’m here)

Niko hapa, Niko hapa (I’m here, I’m here)
Niko hapa baba nakungonja (I’m here father waiting for you)
Niko hapa (I’m here)

Niko hapa, Niko hapa (I’m here, I’m here)
Niko hapa baba nakungonja (I’m here father waiting for you)
Niko hapa (I’m here)

Niko hapa, Niko hapa (I’m here, I’m here)
Niko hapa baba nakungonja (I’m here father waiting for you)
Niko hapa (I’m here)
