Lyrics

Uninyunyizie maji, oh ah, Uninyunyizie maji
Unioshe nitakase, Niwe mweupe kabisa
Uninyunyizie maji, oh ah, Uninyunyizie maji
Unioshe nitakase, Niwe mweupe kabisa


Natamani kwangu nione ukinitendea ah ah
Mvua nione ukininyeshea, moyo upone eeh
Natamani kwangu nione ukitembea,
Ukinitetea ah aah,moyo upone eh aih
aaa aah ah, aaa aah ah, naomba aah
Naomba dhambi zangu uoshe niwe safi
Naomba mvua inyeshe, mazao yaongezeke


Uninyunyizie maji, oh ah, Uninyunyizie maji
Unioshe nitakase, Niwe mweupe kabisa
Uninyunyizie maji, oh ah, Uninyunyizie maji
Unioshe nitakase, Niwe mweupe kabisa


Wash me Lord and mould and save ah ...


Uninyunyizie maji, oh ah, Uninyunyizie maji
Unioshe nitakase, Niwe mweupe kabisa
Uninyunyizie maji, oh ah, Uninyunyizie maji
Unioshe nitakase, Niwe mweupe kabisa

Meaning & Inspiration

Nitakase is a prayer for cleansing, restoration, and renewed life. The repeated plea to be sprinkled with water, washed, and made completely white gives the song a clear biblical vocabulary of purification. Rather than treating cleansing as an abstract idea, the lyrics connect it with a wounded heart that needs healing and with sin that must be washed away. The request for rain and growing crops broadens the image toward fruitfulness after renewal.

The central language closely echoes Psalm 51:7, where the psalmist asks to be washed and made whiter than snow. Ezekiel 36:25 also associates sprinkled clean water with cleansing from impurity. In the song, these images form a humble appeal to God rather than a claim of self-purification. The brief English line asking the Lord to wash, mould, and save reinforces that dependence. Its recurring chorus keeps repentance and hope together: cleansing is sought so that health, purity, and fruitful life may follow.
