Lyrics
Huyo ni chaguo lako (chaguo lako)
Huyo ni chaguo lako (chaguo lako)
Huyo ni chaguo lako (chaguo lako)
Umeomba kwa miaka nyingi
Umetafuta kila mahali
Leo umepata wako, ambaye ni chaguo lako
Huyoo ni chaguo lako,
Alizaliwa kwa ajili yako
Ameumbwa kwa ajili yako
Huyoo ni chaguo lako, huyo ni chaguo lako
Huyo ni chaguo lako
Huyoo ni chaguo lako (chaguo lako)
Huyoo ni chaguo lako (chaguo lako)
Huyo ni chaguo lako (chaguo lako)
Hatakama ni mrefu, hatakama ni mfupi
Hatakama ni mnene, hatakama ni mwembamba
Huyo ni chaguo lako, huyoo ni chaguo lako
Hatakama ni mweusi, hatakama ni mweupe
Huyoo ni chaguo lako, Huyo ni chaguo lako
Huyoo ni chaguo lako (chaguo lako)
Huyoo ni chaguo lako (chaguo lako)
Huyo ni chaguo lako (chaguo lako)
Huyo ni chaguo lako (chaguo lako)
Nyumbani mwenyu iwe amani
Usiwe uwanja wa mapambano
Kila mara mpembelezane
Kila mara muombeane
Huyo ni chaguo lako
Tangulizeni Bwana Yesu
Atawale maisha Yenyu
Huyoo ni chaguo lako, huyo ni chaguo lako
Huyo ni chaguo lako
Huyoo ni chaguo lako (chaguo lako)
Huyoo ni chaguo lako (chaguo lako)
Huyo ni chaguo lako (chaguo lako)
Huyo ni chaguo lako (chaguo lako)
Neno la Mungu linasema, mwanamke atamlinda
Mume wake kwa muombe, nawe tembea na mumeo
Ukimlinda kwa maombi, kila siku muombe
Kila siku mubariki, nyumba yenyu iwe baraka
Huyo ni chaguo lako, chaguo lako
Chaguo lako, chaguo lako
Huyoo ni chaguo lako (chaguo lako)
Huyoo ni chaguo lako (chaguo lako)
Huyo ni chaguo lako (chaguo lako)
Huyo ni chaguo lako (chaguo lako)
Msisikie la walimwengu
Wekeni pamba masikioni
Ya walimwengu yatawapotosha
Ya walimwengu yatawachanganya
Ya walimwengu yatawachafua
mwiteni Yesu awatale
Mwiteni Mungu atawale
Huyo ni chaguo lako, huyo chaguo lako
Huyo chaguo lako
Huyoo ni chaguo lako (chaguo lako)
Huyoo ni chaguo lako (chaguo lako)
Huyo ni chaguo lako (chaguo lako)
Huyo ni chaguo lako (chaguo lako)

Meaning & Inspiration
Chaguo Lako addresses marriage as a committed choice that should be guarded with prayer, patience, and peace. Its repeated refrain celebrates a spouse as the answer to long waiting and searching, while later verses move beyond appearance to the daily responsibilities of life together. The song urges affection rather than conflict and places mutual prayer at the center of the home.
Its counsel becomes explicitly Christian when it calls for Jesus to go before the couple and rule their lives. The warning against confusing outside voices reinforces loyalty within the marriage, while the repeated appeal to bless and pray for a spouse treats the household as a place of spiritual care. Ecclesiastes 4:12 provides a fitting biblical image for strength that includes God, and Philippians 4:6 supports the song’s emphasis on bringing concerns to God in prayer. The result is a Swahili marriage song shaped by dependence on Christ and concern for a peaceful home.
