Lyrics
Wacha wakalale, wakishasema wakale
Wacha wakalale alafu Mungu atawale
Wacha wakalale, wakishasema wakale
Wacha wakalale alafu Mungu atawale
Wacha wakalale, wakishasema wakale
Wacha wakalale alafu Mungu atawale
Wacha wakalale, wakishasema wakale
Wacha wakalale alafu Mungu atawale
Dunia, dunia haina huruma
Machozi unalia unapoteza bure
Hebu tazama wanaokusema
Hawana kazi unaitesa bure bure
Ukitazama maendeleo yao
Umewazidi mbali unajisumbua bure, bure
Wewe subiri, subiri jua lizame
Vinywa vitoke usihangaike nao ooh
Wacha wakalale, wakishasema wakale
Wacha wakalale alafu Mungu atawale
Wacha wakalale, wakishasema wakale
Wacha wakalale alafu Mungu atawale
Wacha wakalale, wakishasema wakale
Wacha wakalale alafu Mungu atawale
Wacha wakalale, wakishasema wakale
Wacha wakalale alafu Mungu atawale
Safina safina ilipokamilika
Waliiona na bado hawakuamini
Wewe ni nani waamninishe haraka
Funga kufuli usishughulike nao
Ila ukisikia Nuhu tufungulie
Ujue sasa ameshakwisha tenda
Wacha wakalale, wakishasema wakale
Wacha wakalale alafu Mungu atawale
Wacha wakalale, wakishasema wakale
Wacha wakalale alafu Mungu atawale
Mamlaka uliyo nayo, ni makubwa kupita yao
Sasa machozi ya nini komesha komesha
Waleo wanaokorofisha kazini kwako aisee
Tuwape wiki au mwezi wataondoka bwana
Usiwatese waliokombolewa
Wana mihuri, mihuri ya mbingu
Wacha taratila, kusingizia uongo
Mungu akishuka tusilaumiane
Wacha wakalale, wakishasema wakale
Wacha wakalale alafu Mungu atawale
Wacha wakalale, wakishasema wakale
Wacha wakalale alafu Mungu atawale
Sema mama sema, maliza kabisa sema
Sema mama sema nitakaa kimya
Sema baba sema, chafua kabisa sema
Chafua sana sema, nitakaa kimya
Aah aah, eeh eeh
Eeh eeh, eeh eeh
Wacha wakalale, wakishasema wakale
Wacha wakalale alafu Mungu atawale

Meaning & Inspiration
Wakalale answers slander and workplace hostility with patience and confidence in the rule of God. Its recurring phrase, “wacha wakalale,” dismisses the pressure to answer every accusation, while “Mungu atawale” shifts final authority away from hostile voices. The verses acknowledge tears and frustration but urge restraint, silence, and attention to what God can do. That contrast gives the song a firm theme: vindication belongs to God rather than to anxious self-defense.
The reference to Noah and the completed ark recalls Genesis 7:16, where God shuts Noah inside before the flood. In the song, that story illustrates action taken in faith despite disbelief from observers. The warnings against mistreating the redeemed also sit near Romans 12:19, which forbids personal vengeance and leaves judgment to God. Although some lines anticipate the removal of opponents, the repeated call to remain quiet keeps the main emphasis on endurance, divine authority, and freedom from the control of public criticism.
