Sakata Rhumba sakata(Sakata)
Wacha dumba sakata(Sakata)
Daudi alisakata(Sakata)
Ufalme wake akapata
Sakata Rhumba sakata(Sakata)

Napiga selfie niposti nimeokoka
Na nasakata hiyo
Nina mapozi kijana nimeokoka
Na nasakata hiyo
Wanaobonga hawajui nilikotoka
Na nasakata hiyo
Ni miujiza nione nimeomoka
Apewe sifa huyo
Iwe ni gengetone raggatone
Yangu ni gospel tone
Gengetone raggatone
Yangu ni gospel zone
Sakata Rhumba sakata(Sakata)

Iwe rhumba iwe raggae(Sakata)
Nakazana sitachoka(Sakata)
Kukupa sifa sitawacha

Kama baba ametenda(Sakata)
Kwani yeye ni Ebenezzer (Sakata)

Sifa nimpatie(Sakata)
Sakata Rhumba sakata(Sakata)
Wacha dumba sakata(Sakata)
Daudi alisakata(Sakata)

Meaning & Inspiration
Sakata centers on joyful praise as a public response to God's help and transforming grace. The refrain uses dance as a language of thanksgiving, while the verses contrast the singer's former circumstances with a life he now describes as a miracle. The reference to David dancing adds a biblical image of unreserved celebration before God.
The repeated call to dance makes the praise active rather than merely spoken. References to different popular styles place that celebration in a contemporary East African setting, but the stated subject remains gospel praise. The name Ebenezer further supports the theme of remembered help: in First Samuel, the name marks an occasion when Samuel acknowledged how far the Lord had helped Israel. In the song, that memory joins a present declaration of gratitude extending from January through December. Joy, testimony, and thanksgiving therefore work together as the singer gives God credit for changed circumstances.
