Martha Mwaipaja - Wewe Ni Baba Lyrics

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

Nikitafakari jinsi Mungu (Thinking about how God)
Alivyonipenda mimi (Has loved me)
Nikitafakari jinsi Mungu (Thinking about how God)
Alivyonipenda mimi (Has loved me)

Hata kunidhamini mimi niliyekuwa (Even supporting me when)
Nimedharauliwa na watu (I was despised by the people)
Hata kunidhamini mimi niliyekuwa (Even supporting me when)
Nimedharauliwa na watu (I was despised by the people)

Kweli nimejua Mungu wangu (I really know my God)
Yeye sio mwanadamu (He is not a human being)
Kweli nimejua Mungu wangu (I really know my God)
Yeye sio mwanadamu (He is not a human being)

Kama angekuwa mwanadamu (If he was a man)
Nisingefika leo (I couldn’t be here today)
Kama angekuwa mwanadamu (If he was a man)
Nisingefika leo (I couldn’t be here today)

Maana katika kilio changu (For in my cry)
Wengi walinitenga (Many abandoned me)
Maana katika machozi yangu (For in my cry)
Wengi walinitenga (Many abandoned me)

Sikumuona hata mpendwa (I didn't even see a loved one)
Wa kunifariji (To comfort me)
Sikumuona hata mpendwa (I didn't even see a loved one)
Wa kunifariji (To comfort me)

Nikalia Mungu wangu (I cried to my God)
Mbona umeniacha (Why have you left me)
Nikalia Mungu wangu (I cried to my God)
Mbona umeniacha (Why have you left me)

Mbona umeacha fedheha (Why have you allowed embarrassment)
Katika maisha yangu (In my life)
Mbona umeacha fedheha (Why have you allowed embarrassment)
Katika maisha yangu (In my life)

Mungu wangu akasema (My God said)
Nipo baba mwenye upendo (I’m a loving father)
Mungu wangu akasema (My God said)
Nipo baba mwenye upendo (I’m a loving father)

Maana mimi naitwa baba (For I am called a father)
Kwa wasio na baba (For the fatherless)
Maana mimi ninaitwa mume (For I am called a husband)
Kwa wasio na mume (For the husbandless)

Wewe ni baba mwema kwangu (You are a good father to me)
Wewe ni baba (You are a father)
Wewe ni baba mwema kwangu (You are a good father to me)
Wewe ni baba (You are a father)

Uhimidiwe Mungu wangu (Be blessed be my God)
Wewe ni baba (You are a father)
Uhimidiwe Mungu wangu (Be blessed be my God)
Wewe ni baba ah (You are a father ah)

Wewe ni baba wa watu wote (You are the father of all people)
Naomba tazama watu wako (Please watch over your people)
Wewe ni baba wa watu wote (You are the father of all people)
Naomba tazama watu wako (Please watch over your people)

Ni wengi wanalia (Many are crying)
Wanakuhitaji baba (They need you father)
Ni wengi wanakuta (Many are finding)
Wanakuhitaji Yesu (They need you Jesus)

Tazama wengi ni wajane (See many are widows)
Tazama wengi ni yatima (See many are orphans)
Tazama wengi ni wagonjwa (See many are sick)
Tazama wengi wametengwa (See many forsaken)

Wengine uchumi umekuwa (To others the economy has been)
Ni jangwa kwao (A nightmare to them)
Wengine utasa umekuwa fedheha kwao (To others infertility has become a disgrace)
Watazame ba-a-a-ba (Watch over them father)

Wewe ni baba mwema kwangu (You are a good father to me)
Wewe ni baba (You are a father)
Wewe ni baba mwema kwangu (You are a good father to me)
Wewe ni baba (You are a father)

Uhimidiwe Mungu wangu (Be blessed be my God)
Wewe ni baba (You are a father)
Uhimidiwe Mungu wangu (Be blessed be my God)
Wewe ni baba ah (You are a father ah)
