Lyrics
Kuna wenye waitae siku za mwisho mabaya kote
Aliyeitwa kuwa shahidi kwa walio potea njia
Kutumika kama chombo waone wajue
Ni mwaminifu kwa ahadi alizoweka Yesu
Anarudi tena, anarudi tena
Yesu anarudi tena
Utukufu Haleluya tumbariki tumwinue
Sifu mwana anarudi tena
Alisema tusihofu yuaenda Yesu
Na yeye anakoenda nyumbani atuandalia
Wakati unapovaa asubuhi saa sita usiku
Anarudi atufikishe kule
Anarudi tena, anarudi tena
Yesu anarudi tena
Utukufu Haleluya tumbariki tumwinue
Sifu mwana anarudi tena
Yesu kristo anarudi mwanakondoo
Baba mwana roho Yeye ndiye
Aja mawinguni na ukuu na enzi
Sifu Bwana sifu (Bwanaa!)
Sifu Bwana sifu (Bwanaa!)
Sifu Bwana sifu (Bwanaa!)
Haleluya (haleluya)
Utukufu Haleluya tumbariki tumwinue
Sifu mwana anarudi tena
Kila siku najiandaa kwa sherehe za furaha
(Sifu mwana anarudi tena)
Kila siku najiandaa kumuona tena
(Sifu mwana anarudi tena)

Meaning & Inspiration
“Anarudi Tena” proclaims the promised return of Jesus and calls for faithful readiness. The lyric describes Christ preparing a heavenly home, returning in the clouds with glory and authority, and gathering His people to be with Him. Its recurring announcement, “Yesu anarudi tena,” turns the expectation of His return into praise, while the closing lines describe daily preparation marked by joy rather than fear.
The promise of a prepared place closely echoes John 14:1-3, where Jesus tells His disciples that He is going to prepare a place and will return to receive them. The image of Christ coming in the clouds also corresponds with Acts 1:11 and related biblical descriptions of His return. Alongside this hope, the song presents Christian witness as a responsibility toward those who have lost the way. Its message joins expectation, worship, and mission: Christ will return, His promises are trustworthy, and faithful life remains alert for that day.
