lyrics
Ni machozi inayo nifanya nisiwe na nguvu
Jinsi mambo inavyo niendea mrama
Tafadhali nishike mkono niongoze ...
Wee ongoza
Nina ndoto nyingi ningependa kutimiza
Njia ya kupata ndio mimi sijui tu
Tafadhali nishike mkono niongoze...
Wee ongoza
Tutaonana tena
Tutaonana tena
Tutaonana tena
Mola akitujalia...iyee
Kiralany tuloknok awendi en oret
Kotomo anyoru chito neuinye,
ongen kole kiiringalan ile ichomou
Imaan. Koting'olon, mwonon asi anainyee
Kotichomon inyee
Mating' alaan
Koting'olou, mwowon asianai kotowendi
Kotomerenyonee ameroweksei kong'ung
Mwowou asianai, kotowendi moroweksei
Saisere tuntoketusitosi imaan
Kokomukwech Kiptaiyat
Jinsi mambo inavyo niendea mrama
Tafadhali nishike mkono niongoze ...
Wee ongoza
Nina ndoto nyingi ningependa kutimiza
Njia ya kupata ndio mimi sijui tu
Tafadhali nishike mkono niongoze...
Wee ongoza
Tutaonana tena
Tutaonana tena
Tutaonana tena
Mola akitujalia...iyee
Kiralany tuloknok awendi en oret
Kotomo anyoru chito neuinye,
ongen kole kiiringalan ile ichomou
Imaan. Koting'olon, mwonon asi anainyee
Kotichomon inyee
Mating' alaan
Koting'olou, mwowon asianai kotowendi
Kotomerenyonee ameroweksei kong'ung
Mwowou asianai, kotowendi moroweksei
Saisere tuntoketusitosi imaan
