about

Translation:


God oh God
Why have you forsaken me

These are the cries from street children
Every single day of their lives
They have no father
They have no mother
They have nobody to show them the ways of life
Each one of them cries

God oh God
Why have you forsaken me

I'm standing here before you (God)
With a lot of pain in my heart
Because I know each one of those kids could be mine
What sin did they commit
For them to know so much suffering
Oh God please hear their cry
As each one of them cries

God oh God
Why have you forsaken me

That’s why I call on everyone
Let's unite and think
How are we going to help them
Friend please have compassion

These children have no provider
They have no hope,
they have no food
God I pray for them

lyrics

Original:


Mungu wangu
 
Mungu wangu kwannini ume ni acha
Eh baba tunaliya sisi watoto wako
 
Iki nikiliyo kinaliya watoto wana lala munjiya
Siku zote iziz zamayisha eh
Awana baba awana mama awana muntu waku wa onesha
njiya iyi yeh ya mayisha eh
Kila moja wana uliza
 
Mungu wangu kwanini ume ni acha
 
Mimi nawa simamiya mungu mbele yako
Namagumu mingi mimi moyoni
Kwani nimejuwa kila mototo yule anezi kuja wangu
Ni zambi nini wali fanya eh jno wanjuwi mateso mingi weh
Mungu baba eh uwasaidiye mungu baba wana uliza
 
tunaomba uruma na mapendo
 
Njo kile naita kila muntu wagini tu unganeni tu waze
Namuna gani tuta wasaidiya watoto yetu
Awana baba awana mama ndugu yangu eh kuja nauruma eh
Mina kuomba eh
 
Eh baba mungu wetu utusikeye uwasikiye watoto yetu wanliya
Baba eh
Kila mutoto una ona munjiya eh analala chini ndugu yangu eh
Anafazi yakwenda ndugu yangu ana mapendo ana kyakulya ana teswa eh
Mungu baba wetu weh mina liya eh. Nawa liliya watoto
