Lyrics

Ni kwa nini umeyaruhusu


Eeh Mungu mwenyezi


Yatusononeshe eeh moyon


Kwa nini unaruhusuu


Ona haya machozi


Tazama tunavyoliiia


Twajiulizaa sana Bwana


Ni kwa nini uliyaruhusu

Meaning & Inspiration

“Kwa Nini” gives voice to sorrow through questions directed to God. The lyrics describe tears, a troubled heart, and the bewilderment that follows suffering allowed by the Almighty. Rather than offering a quick explanation, the song remains with the pain of people who are grieving. Its repeated question becomes an honest prayer, acknowledging both distress and God’s authority even when an answer is not yet visible.

This lament can be read alongside biblical prayers that ask God why hardship continues. The language recalls Psalm 13, where anguish is brought openly before the Lord instead of hidden. By naming tears and inner heaviness, the song makes room for faith expressed as pleading rather than certainty. Its focus is not despair alone; the appeal to God shows that sorrow is still being carried toward the One believed able to see, hear, and respond.
