Ambwene Mwasongwe - Nimeachilia Lyrics
Lyrics
Ulipanda mti mzuri ukategemea kuvuna matunda
ila mti wenyewe umezaa miiba na michongoma
Uliwekeza muda na mali,ukamwagilia ukitarajia
matarajio yamekuwa sio sasa umebaki na maumivu
japokuwa uliiona miiba,ulijipa muda ukapogolea
ukitarajia mabadiliko,labda kesho mti utazaa
sasa imekuwa kinyume,mti wako mwenyewe unakuchoma
Unalia
Aaah ah
ukikumbuka Mbegu
Aaah ah
Unalia
Aaah ah
ukikumbuka maji
Unalia
Aaah ah
ukikumbuka kazi
Aaah ah
Sio kila kinachokuja kwako ni chako
na si kiondokacho kwako ni chako
hata kama unavipenda sio vyako
vingine mungu huviondoa, ili wewe ubaki salama
iwe kazi,nafsi,mahusiano au cheo
japo vyaondoka kwa maumivu ili jifunze kuacha viende
nafasi ya moyo wako mpe mungu
Chochote kile kikuumizacho kufikia hatua ya kukuua
jua ulikikalisha mahali pa mungu
jifunze kukiacha kiende,jifunze kusema Bye Bye
maana sio vyote vya kwako
Walitoka kwetu hawakuwa wa kwetu
maana wangelikuwa wetu wangelikaa nasi
walitoka ili wafunuliwe sio wote wa kwetu
Walitoka kwetu hawakuwa wa kwetu
maana wangelikuwa wetu wangelikaa nasi
wafunuliwa ili tujue sio wote wa kwetu
Eeh
Nimeachilia
jifunze kuambia moyo wako
Nimeachilia
hatakama inauma sana jifunze kusema
Nimeachilia
Nimesamehe Mungu anaona mimi
Nimeachilia
Tafuta mahali kaa pekee Yako Mahali Hakuna akuonaye
Mahali pa siri pa utulivu,mahali hakuna akusikiaye
ukakumbuke machungu yako,maumivu yako na machozi yako
kayakumbuke maneno yote yakuumizayo moyo wako
kayakumbuke vitu ulivyopoteza,kayakumbuke muda na watu wa karibu
kakumbuke hasara uliyopata,usiyasahau machungu yote
Lia usibakishe machozi
lia usiyameze yeyote
toa yanayousibu moyo
toa yasibakiye yeyote
Aaaah ah ah ah aaah ah
toa usibaki na machungu
hakikisha umetuliza moyo,umesahau yote yaliyopita
achilia yote uloshikilia waache waende sio Riziki yako
hakikisha umekuwa mwepesi ji-edit,moyo ubaki salama
Inuka sema kwa ujasiri
Nimeachilia ninaanza upya
Inuka jikung'ute mavumbi ya kale
yamepita sasa ni mapya
Nimeachilia sema
Nimeachilia
Nimesamehe yote
Nimeachilia
Nimejinyonyoa manyoya ya kale sasa ni mwepesi
Nimeachilia
Sasa niko Huru
Aah ah aah aaah aah
Nimeachilia
Nimesamehea sasa ninayo amani Ooh oh o
maumivu ya kale nimeacha nyuma
Nimeachilia

Meaning & Inspiration
I’ve been sitting here thinking about these lyrics, and honestly, it’s a bit heavy. The whole idea that if something is hurting you enough to, as the song says, kill you, you’ve probably put it in the place where only God belongs—that hits hard. It’s like when John wrote about idols, just keeping it simple: guard yourselves from anything that takes that top spot. We spend so much energy trying to prune things that were never meant to grow in our lives in the first place. It reminds me of how we hold onto stuff, people, or dreams, convinced they’re ours, when maybe they were just temporary tests to see where our loyalty really lies.
There’s this part about people leaving, saying they weren’t really "of us" because if they were, they would have stayed. It feels a lot like that passage in 1 John about those who went out from the fellowship, and it makes me wonder how much pain we carry just because we refuse to accept that God is shifting our circles. It’s tough, though. Is it really that simple? Can we just say "bye-bye" to everything that causes us grief and call it faith?
The song tells you to go off by yourself and really sit in the pain, to not hold back the tears. That part felt strangely biblical to me, like the Psalms where they don't hold anything back from God. They just pour out the bitterness and the loss. But then the song moves to "letting go" and starting over, almost like you can just shake off the dust. I keep wrestling with that. Is letting go something we do once and it’s finished, or is it a daily, agonizing surrender? I want it to be as clean as the song makes it sound—just leave the hurt behind and be free—but I’m not sure our hearts are ever that simple to edit. I keep thinking about whether "letting go" is just a human decision or if it’s something that only happens when we’re actually broken enough to stop holding on. It makes me wonder if I'm really trusting Him with the loss or if I’m just trying to manage my own peace.
