SAMMIDOH

Ngai wombire mundu e wa githagathago, (Lord, you created man who is never content)
Nikio ndokaga kuri we o ruci-ini,               (That’s why I seek you every morning)
O muthenya o muthenya na bata mweru, (Each day with new needs)
Na riu o ringi ndi mbere yaku Jehova,      (Here again I come before you, Jehovah
Ngihoya muno o kugia ndugu nawee,      ( Praying hard that I be close to you
Nigetha Baba huthiro ni muturire.           (So that, Father, life can be smooth
CHORUS
Ndahoya tu o gutuika murata waku,     (I just pray that I be your friend,
Niguo ndarwara ngamenya ati no ndihona, (So that when I fall ill, I know I will be cured
Ningi ona riua ringikara riria riuru,  ( Even when famine strikes
Twi ndugu nawe ninjui ati ndigathira, ( with you close to me I will always endure
Ndi murata-guo ndi nama ati ndikahuka. ( With you as my friend I will never perish
Daudi wamuiyukirie e ruru-ini,       ( You anointed David when he was a herdsboy
Na wanamuruirira mbaara nyingi,   ( You fought for him many battles
Wanamwika FAVOUR nyingi andu makagega, ( He found favour in you to the surprise of many
Ona akuhitiria Ngai tondu mwi ndugu,    (Even when he fell short of your glory as friends
Niwahiuhaga muno muno kumuigua,  (  You were quick to listen to him
Niwahiuhaga o kumurekera naihenya. ( You were quick to forgive him

GRAMPS MORGAN
If you give a little
more than you take
And if you try to fix more than you break
If you're the kind who takes the time
To help a stranger in the rain
There's a place for people like you
If you stand up for
those down on their knees
And lend a voice to those who cannot speak
If you shine a little light and give sight
To the ones who've lost their way
There's a place for people like you
I've heard up there the
streets are made of gold
And when you get there, there's a hand to hold
I believe when your days down here are through
There's a place up there for people like you
If you walk around with your heart on your sleeve The faces of the friends I had
And if you try to be the change you want to see The images that flow
If you laid down your life for love
So someone could be saved
There's a place for people like…
SIR ELVIS
You only got one mama
You only got one pa
You only got one life to live
No matter who you are
You can go the whole world over
Every city has its dawn
But everybody liveth has one place where he was born
And mine is Kenya, so
warm and wild and free
You'll always stay with me here in my heart
My land is Kenya, right from your highlands to the sea
You'll always stay with me here in my heart, here in my
heart.
You
only got one childhood
And the memories that spring
When you see your house, the tree you climbed
And all those precious things
My land is Kenya, right from your highlands to the sea
You'll always stay with me here in my heart, here in my
heart.

REDFOURTH CHORUS Baraka zake hazikwishi

Si kama binadamu habadiliki
Nikipoteza njia
Ananipenda leo kuliko jana
Kwa safari nimechagua 
Kuliko jana
Nisipokuwa na nguvu 
Kuliko jana
Niite, niite 
Yesu nipende leo kuliko jana
Niongoze kwa neema 
Kuliko jana
Nifunze kwa upole wako 
Kuliko jana
Hata nikikosea 
Yesu nipende leo kuliko jana
Nisaidie, nisaidie
Nakuomba Mungu uwasamehe
Refrain:
Wangalijua jinsi unavyonipenda mimi wasingenisema
Natamani kutembea nawe 
Na maadui wangu nawaombea maisha marefu
Natamani kutembea nawe 
Wazidi kuona ukinibariki
Natamani kutembea nawe 
Ujue binadamu ni watu wa
Niongoze, niongoze 
ajabu sana
Sielewi njia hii
Walimkana Yesu mara tatu kabla jogoo kuwika
Nd’o maana nakuhitaji 
Ujue binadamu ni watu wa ajabu sana
Nakutegemea wewe
Walimsulubisha Yesu Messiah bila kusita
Enda nami, enda nami 
Ooh, na
Nashindwa kukupa vyote 
Bwana ni mwokozi wangu
Hata hivyo nitaamini
Tena ni kiongozi wangu
Kwani najua mwishowe 
Ananipenda leo kuliko jana
Kuna raha, kuna raha 
Baraka zake hazikwishi
SAUTI SOL
Si kama binadamu habadiliki
Bwana ni mwokozi wangu Ananipenda leo kuliko jana
Tena ni kiongozi wangu Kuliko

Baraka zake hazikwishi Kuliko jana
Si kama binadamu habadiliki Yesu nipende leo kuliko jana
Ananipenda leo kuliko jana Kuliko jana…

ERIC WAINAINA KENYA'S GREATEST ARTISTES

Umoja ni fahari yetu Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
Undugu ndio nguvu That saved a wretch like me.
Chuki na ukabila I once was lost, but now am found,
Hatutaki hata kamwe Was blind, but now I see.
Lazima tuungane, tuijenge nchi yetu 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
Pasiwe hata mmoja And grace my fears relieved.
Anaetenganisha How precious did that grace appear
Naishi, Natumaini, The hour I first believed.
Najitolea daima Kenya, Through many dangers, toils and snares
Hakika ya bendera I have already come;
Ni uthabiti wangu 'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
Nyeusi ya wananchi na nyekundu ni ya damu And grace will lead me home.
Kijani ni ya ardhi, nyeupe ya amani The Lord has promised good to me
Daima mimi mkenya His word my hope secures;
Mwananchi mzalendo He will my shield and portion be,
Kwa uchungu na mateso As long as life endures.
Kwa vilio na uzuni Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
Tulinyakuliwa Uhuru And mortal life shall cease,
Na mashujaa wa zamani I shall possess within the veil,
Hawakushtushwa na risasi A life of joy and peace.
Au kufungwa gerezani When we've been there ten thousand years
Nia yao ukombizi kuvunja pingu za ukoloni Bright shining as the sun,
Naishi, Natumaini, We've no less days to sing God's praise
Najitolea daima Kenya, Than when we've first begun.
Hakika ya bendera
Ni uthabiti wangu
Nyeusi ya wananchi na nyekundu ni ya damu
Kijani ni ya ardhi, nyeupe ya amani
Daima mimi…
