Текст и перевод песни Nathan Nyirenda - Mwe Makufi

Mwe Makufi

Mwelesa wandi njafweniko ubucushi insala ne cipowe fya isula icilo cesu nkose uko wingaya
Amalanda noku ilishanya ubupina noku bulilwa filepongomoka ngemfula pakulaya
Amatontonkanyo yalilembwa pa finso fya bakalamba, imisepela, abaice ne fitekwa.

Mwemakufi yandi mwinenuka
Wemutima wandi nobe salapuka
Fimwandanshi ne mipashi iyakowela teti ficinfye lesa uwa mweo, teti ficinfye lesa uwamilalo.

Imimana amasabi fyaba mbwe, umufundo ponse wanyanta, imiti inama ne mpanga umutatakuya
Amabwe nayo mintapendwa, na ababonfi nabo libuma lelo ubunonshi bwaba fye pama pepala
Infulanayo ilaloka, umutende twimba pofye pefye lelo tushala pofye nocisungu mukanwa

My Love

My dear, I recognize your beauty, your hunger, and your strength in the struggles we face. Where will you go?
Your trials and battles, your youth and your poverty will all be washed away by the river of life.
Your thoughts are written on the faces of the elders, the children, the prisoners, and the young.

My love, my heart has found you,
In my heart you will always find a home,
The spirits of the dead and the living cannot separate us. God is life, and God is with us.

The days and nights are difficult, and the laws are always changing. The trees, animals, and earth will not protect us.
The stones are also precious, and the chiefs are also powerful, but their power is only on paper.
The rainbow is beautiful, and we pray for peace, but we are still left with bitterness in our mouths.
