Kila time wala misi
Ulalapo uamka kesi

Tizi tizi na ni kizi
Halafu hauna wasi
Wazi unakaza fizi...

I'm BLACK, and I've got.
I got a right to live.
Mimi ni mweusi, na nimepata.
Nilipata haki ya kuishi.

Na mimi ni zaidi ya ndege tu.

SINNER ONE I COMES BEFORE YOU LORD-
Nina kuja mbele yako
Ninakuja mbele yako
Haipendwi
Ninakuja mbele yako

SINNER ONE I COMES BEFORE YOU LORD-

Ninafuta kutoka kwangu
Nirekebishe
Nibadillishe upya
Nipe upya
Nikamilishe
SINNER ONE I COMES BEFORE YOU LORD-
Ninakuja kabla huhanimaliza
Hallelujah

…… 


In someone's bad days with trouble
one can't do much in her struggle
but some support, let’s be humble;
if need be give her a cuddle.

Needed at that instant with care
is to hear her story to share
her sorrow with kindness, be fair
but without suggestion, don't scare.

Patience hearing...
