Lyrics
Kando ooh, kando ooh Wacha.
Tulipojuana mi nawe, ulinipenda sana, uliniamini sana,
Ukanitafuta sana. Nikashakuomba ukaniitisha ulichotaka
Wewe ieh, wewe eeh.
Mpango wa kandoo ooh, mpango wa kandoo ooh, wacha.
Mpango wa kandoo ooh, mpango wa kandoo ooh, wacha.
*Taka jalani ulinimiminia, eti mbona ukitimize.
Nitakumikia zaidi, eeh, nikakupa kazi.
Ukaniomba mtoto, nikakupa watoto.
Mimi Mungu wako, nikakuponya magonjwa yote.
Mimi eeh mwaminifu sana.
Mpango wa kandoo ooh, mpango wa kandoo ooh, wacha.
Mpango wa kandoo ooh, mpango wa kandoo ooh, wacha.
Mbona hukeshi tena, sababu ya mume.
Mbona hufungi tena, njaa yanilemea.
Ibada yangu wachelewa, Baba niko busy.
Nakuona kwa waganga, niliona umechelewa.
Mbona hukeshi tena, sababu ya mke.
Mbona hufungi tena, shida zimekwisha.
Ibada wachelewa, Baba ni watoto.
Nakuona kwa waganga, niliona umenyamaza.
Mpango wa kandoo ooh, mpango wa kandoo ooh, wacha.
Mpango wa kandoo ooh, mpango wa kandoo ooh, wacha.
Ulianza vitina, ukaanza chonganisha, ukaingiza na chuki.
Ukaanza ulevi, mama pima, ukasahau jamii.
Nisamehe, nisamehe, Baba nisamehe
Nisamehe, nisamehe, Baba nisamehe.
Ulikosa mwelekeo, lakini umetubu leo.
Nimekusamehe mwanangu.

Meaning & Inspiration
“Mpango wa Kando” presents a warning against divided loyalty to God. The lyrics picture God recalling his faithful care while confronting a worshipper who has allowed family pressures, comfort, alcohol, and visits to traditional healers to displace prayer and worship. The repeated command to abandon a “mpango wa kando,” or side arrangement, gives spiritual unfaithfulness the language of a competing relationship. Its direct questions expose how gratitude can fade after relief and provision arrive.
The closing exchange moves from accusation to repentance and forgiveness. A plea for mercy is answered with acceptance, so the song does not leave failure as its final word. Its message closely echoes biblical calls to worship God alone and to confess wrongdoing. By joining correction with restoration, the lyric portrays divine faithfulness as both morally serious and merciful, inviting a renewed, undivided commitment to God.
