Ulimbo Na Phula

Karonga wee
Karonga wee
Wadukumara m'mphaka kumpoto
Karonga wee
Karonga wee
Wavungumara kumutu wa charu uko

Uli kuvwala zina la ufumu lakuzirwa
Kweni mwana wako wachali kaporo wachali muzga
Mbukavu wa mtundu wuli
Wakukudokera mbandandi
Iwe uli kupika vinandi vyakulelera bana wako
Ng'ombe m'chiwaya tazipulika zikubama
Zinyama ututyaula
Uku ukuswelera mu vyambiko
Kilombero wanunkhira tikukhuta mvuchi pera
Kuno matochi na mijuwa ntchibanja cha linga lako

Ntheme gha kaporo
Nthuchero pa chipata
Pakupokera vimbundi vyakufuma m'sirya lira
Ndalama zakununa ndizo chawa chikhole
Wakugulisya wanangwa na ulimbo wa kuvuma
Vikwiza m'magileta gha malundi gha ulimbo
Pakwiza vikulilima mu mikwara gha phura
Tazgoka nga ndi yura wakaguliska ulala
Na ndozi ziswesi njara yazizuwa limoza

Muzi muti mzenge uli na ulimbo na phula
Uzaghali mulufukwa ndimo lero ndi malonda
Gome mwazenga pa chizara chabizali icho
Mphamsika wavyawaka wakusoperapo ndalama
Ivyo vili kuchitika kasi mulije kuzukuwa
Mura phula likanyakatika nazuwa la chihanya
Muchifuku milonga ikukokowora vyose
Yandakaleka vizgomwe umo mukonda vyauzgowe

Mazgu gha kumapopa
Nozgani guwe wa fumu
Pakuti mwenecho zina wanyamuka wali mu nthowa
Wakunyamula lupanga waumuyi kosekose
Wati wause na ndodo na nthonga ya chisulo
Ntheura nkhumuchenjezgani imwe mowe mwa ba kalonga
Imwe m'kweruzga charo mwa mafumu na zinduna
Tebeterani na wofi ndiposo na chitenthe
Ndipo m'pereke ntchindi kwa Karonga wa ba Karonga

Yesu ndiyo karonga wakuwusa charu chose
Yesu ndiyo karonga wakuwusa charu chose
Yesu ndiyo karonga wakuwusa charu chose
Yesu ndiyo karonga wakuwusa charu chose mmmh

Ulimbo And Flowers

My Karonga
My Karonga
You are situated on the northern border
My Karonga
My Karonga
You are situated at the top of this country

You are adorned with a respected royal name
Truly, your brave son is a warrior, a brave warrior
What kind of tribe are you
That you roam the wilderness
You are a cook of great delicacies that feed your children
The cattle in the fields low to honor you
You raise livestock
And you preserve them in granaries
Kilombero smells good, we enjoy honey like bees
Here are mangoes and guavas in the garden of your clan

Warrior's bow
A stool at the gate
For receiving visitors from across the border
Foreign currency is your greatest treasure
You trade in tobacco and the flower of fame
They come in the mailboxes of the tobacco merchants
When they ripen in the flower fields
I will return when I am rich and have sold my tobacco
And the enemies who despised me will be put to shame

The village is a big tree that has flowers and fruits
I will not rest because today is market day
The market is built by the riverside, that is its place
The marketplace is busy, people earn money there
What is happening now, will you remember it in the future?
The flower will wither and die one day
In time, floods will wash away everything
I left the quarrels behind, so that they may be forgotten

Words from the elders
Listen to me, oh king
Because the owner of the name is on the way
Carrying a sword, he will kill all of you
Then he will rule with a rod of iron and a staff of bronze
Therefore, I warn you, you kings
You who judge the land, you kings and chiefs
Serve him with fear and trembling
And give honor to Karonga, the king of kings

Jesus is the king who rules over the whole earth
Jesus is the king who rules over the whole earth
Jesus is the king who rules over the whole earth
Jesus is the king who rules over the whole earth mmmh
