Lyrics
Hapo ndipo tulipo uweponi
Tumepitia hayo hayo mapito
Hapo ndipo tulipo uweponi
Tumeyaona hayo hayo matezo
Hamna kitu kipya duniani
Yote tunayoona yamekuwepo
Hamna kitu kipya duniani
Yote unayopitia yamekuwepo
Jipe moyo moyo aliyewakumbuka atakukumbukaa
Jipe moyo moyo aliyefanya kwao atafanya kwako
Hiyo hali ni ya muda ni ya muda
Ee mwanangu jipe moyo jipe moyo
Hiyo hali ni ya muda ni ya muda
Ee mwanangu jipe moyo jipe moyo
Kama ni kulala njaa sisi tulilala njaa
Kama ni kutukanwa tulitukanwa sana
Kama kudharauliwa sisi tulidharauliwa
Na kama ni kufungiwa tulifungiwa nyumba
Hamna kitu kipya duniani
Aliyetukumbuka atakukumbuka
Hamna kitu kipya duniani
Aliyefanya kwetu atafanya kwako
Jipe moyo moyo aliyewakumbuka atakukumbukaa
Jipe moyo moyo aliyefanya kwao atafanya kwako
Jipe moyo moyo aliyewakumbuka atakukumbukaa
Jipe moyo moyo aliyefanya kwao atafanya kwako
Jipe moyo moyo aliyewakumbuka atakukumbukaa
Jipe moyo moyo aliyefanya kwao atafanya kwako

Meaning & Inspiration
“Jipe Moyo” offers encouragement to people facing hardship by placing present suffering within a larger human story. Its repeated observation that there is nothing new under the sun echoes Ecclesiastes and insists that hunger, insults, rejection, and confinement are not experiences borne in isolation. The testimony of having endured similar trials gives the repeated call to take courage a communal and compassionate tone.
Hope rests especially in the assurance that the God who remembered others can remember the person suffering now. The song does not deny pain or minimize deprivation; instead, it describes hardship as temporary and points toward God’s continuing care. That emphasis is consistent with biblical calls not to lose heart while doing good and with accounts of God hearing those in distress. Through repetition, the central counsel becomes unmistakable: courage can persist because suffering is not unprecedented, faithful endurance matters, and God’s help is not limited to the past.
