Tunakutukuza

1. Pande zote za dunia, viumbe wako wote wakushangilia,
Watu wanakuinua, nasi tunakuimbia;
Umekuwa mwaminifu, watukumbuka sisi tulio dhaifu,
Tusojua kukusifu, wewe mwenye utukufu.

Kwa zeze na vinanda - tunakutukuza
Baragumu na panda - tunakutukuza
Nderemo zimetanda - tunakutukuza
Na ngoma zinadunda - tunakutukuza

Iyee (ae hoye) , aiyee (ae hoye ) aiyee (ae hoye) tunakutukuza
Aiyee (ae hoye) , aiyee (ae hoye ) aiyee (ae hoye) tunakutukuza

2. Sina budi kushukuru, ulinivua giza kanivika nuru,
Utumwa kaninusuru, kaniweka niwe huru;
Japo mimi hukosea, hujanitupa bado wanihurumia,
Hata ninapopotea, wanielekeza njia.

Kwa nyimbo na zaburi - tunakutukuza
Filimbi na zumari - tunakutukuza
Kayamba na matari - tunakutukuza
Na kwa sauti nzuri - tunakutukuza

3. Unipaye bure hewa, kunitetea kila ninapoonewa,
Kwako sijapungukiwa, wala sijaelemewa;
Unayenipa mkate, na kunilinda kote wakati wowote,
Nijalie nisisite, kukusifu siku zote.

Sifa zote ni zako - tunakutukuza
Huko juu uliko - tunakutukuza
Vigelegele, heko - tunakutukuza
Na shangwe na chereko - tunakutukuza

Una neema tele - tunakutukuza
Tangu enzi za kale - tunakutukuza
Na umebaki vile - tunakutukuza
Milele na milele - tunakutukuza

Wasio na chakula - unawapokea
Wasona pa kulala - unawapokea
Wajapo kwako bila - unawapokea
Unawajibu sala - unawapokea

Vipofu wanaona - wanakutukuza
Viwete wanapona - wanakutukuza
Tasa wapata mwana - wanakutukuza
Na bubu wananena - wanakutukuza

Daima watubeba - tunakutukuza
Kwako twapata tiba - tunakutukuza
Watukinga misiba - tunakutukuza
