Everywhere on the coastal Regions on the seas, lakes, oceans, everywhere;

To the calling of my Lord

SPASIBA
Spasiba,
spasiba.
Kwa mwenyezi,
bila kipimo nakuenzi.
Spasiba,
spasiba.
Kwa mama ulileta duniani,
na kunilea.
Spasiba,
spasiba.
Kwa marafiki wa kikweli,
sio wahuni.
Spasiba,
spasiba.
Kwa wahusika wote wenye nia njema,
sio wenye sumu kwenye sindano.
Spasiba,
spasiba.
Kwa maadui washirikina na wenye fitina,
wasio na utu ila tu unafiki.	
Garagazano hili,
hamwezi.
Spasiba,
spasiba.

Lord you yet love me 
And I am so glad you do
Ninatubu kwa dhambi zangu
Zot. Bwana wewe bado upendo mimi
Sassssa mimi majuto nillipoteza
Mengi ya haki
Kwa sababu nilikuwa funga juu
Katika dhambi  zaangu
Na mimi alikuwa kufurahia kwao
Wakati wote
Tamaa na harufu, vizuri
Sasa mimi inafanyika ya wokovu
Ainipatia
Bwana wewe...

They rode on a plodding camel
Over hills and through the sand
This is what God had planned.
