Lyrics
Owee Owee Owee
Nina imani, siku za mateso zitapita
Nina imani, siku ya kutoka ghetto itafika
Nitapata mabawa, nitapaa
Nyota itaangaza nitan'gaa
Ninayotamani moyoni nitapata
No no no no sitasahau
Sitasahau walionishikilia
Sitasahau walioniombea
Sitasahau ni Mungu amanitendea
Sitasahau uuh sahau
Nitashare share, iyo kidogo sitajiwekea
Sitalegea-gea, Kumshika mtu mkono
Nanikiitwa somewhere kusaidia
Hata kama sina fare nitatembea
Sitasahau walionishikilia
Sitasahau walioniombea
Sitasahau ni Mungu amanitendea
Sitasahau uuh sahau
Nitashare share, iyo kidogo sitajiwekea
Sitalegea-gea, Kumshika mtu mkono
Nanikiitwa somewhere kusaidia
Hata kama sina fare nitatembea

Meaning & Inspiration
Sitasahau joins hope for changed circumstances with a pledge to remember both God and the people who offered support. The opening looks beyond suffering and poverty with confidence that hardship will pass and opportunity will come. Yet the chorus prevents success from becoming self-centered: those who stood near, those who prayed, and what God has done are all named as gifts that must not be forgotten.
The later lines turn gratitude into responsibility. Whatever is gained, even if it is small, is meant to be shared. Helping another person is presented as worth personal effort, including walking when transport is unaffordable. This outlook closely reflects biblical teaching that generosity should match what a person has and that good should be done whenever an opportunity appears. The repeated promise not to forget therefore carries two meanings: remembering mercy received and extending practical mercy to others. Hope, gratitude, prayer, and generosity remain closely connected throughout the song.
