Lyrics

Nena nami, nena nami Bwana 


Sema Bwana na moyo wangu 


Lisikie sauti yako 


Bwana nena, nena nami 


Nimechoshwa na sauti za watu 


Natamani sauti yako 


Inielekeze kwa njia zako 


Bwana nena, nena nami 


Nena nami, nena nami Bwana 


Sema Bwana na moyo wangu 


Lisikie sauti yako 


Bwana nena, nena nami 


Moyo wangu uko wazi Bwana 


Bwana sema nikusikie 


Nifahamu kusudi lako 


Bwana nenam, nena nami 


Ninachokitaka ni kukusikia 


Ukisema na moyo wangu 


Kila siku ya maisha yangu 


Bwana nena nami 


Nena nami, nena nami Bwana 


Sema Bwana na moyo wangu 


Lisikie sauti yako 


Bwana nena, nena nami 


Bwana nena, nena nami

Meaning & Inspiration

Nena Nami is a prayer for divine guidance amid the competing voices of daily life. The repeated request for the Lord to speak expresses a desire for clarity, obedience, and closeness to God. Rather than presenting certainty about every next step, the song describes an open heart that waits to hear and understand divine direction. Its refrain keeps that single petition in focus and gives the lyrics a quiet, worshipful character.

The words closely recall the biblical response, Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening, while the request to be directed in Gods ways also parallels prayers in the Psalms. The singer seeks more than an answer for one moment; the desire is to recognize the voice of God throughout life. That sustained posture of listening makes the song especially suited to prayer and worship, with humility, attentiveness, and readiness to follow shaping its central message.
