Lyrics
Mwaipopo: Natamani nchi mpya aliyoiandaa Yesu.
Bass: natamani, natamani nchi mpya.
Bass: natamani, natamani nchi mpya.
Mimi natamani mbingu mpya na nchi mpya
aliyoiandaa mwanakondoo, kwa kunifahari
naashi kwa kuwa. x2
Nitakapomwona mwana wa adamu, akija mawinguni kunichukua.
Na malaika wakishangilia eeh, sipati picha nitakavyo kuwa. x2
Mimi natamani mbingu mpya na nchi mpya
aliyoiandaa mwanakondoo, kwa kunifahari
naashi kwa kuwa. x2
Nitakapofika kwa Baba yangu, nitaketi naye nikimtazama.
nderemo vinubi, na tarumbeta, sipati picha siku hiyo. x2
Mimi natamani mbingu mpya na nchi mpya
aliyoiandaa mwanakondoo, kwa kunifahari
naashi kwa kuwa. x2
Atakaposema karibu mwanangu, taabu za dunia hautaziona.
nikiyalaani milele yote, kwa raha zangu mimi sipati picha.
Mimi natamani mbingu mpya na nchi mpya
aliyoiandaa mwanakondoo, kwa kunifahari
naashi kwa kuwa. x2

Meaning & Inspiration
Sipati Picha expresses an expectant longing for the new heaven and new earth prepared by Christ. The singer imagines the Son of Man coming with angels, the joy of being welcomed by the Father, and a future free from the troubles of the present world. The repeated admission that this joy cannot be pictured gives the song a reverent sense of wonder.
Its imagery closely echoes the biblical promise of a renewed creation, where sorrow and pain no longer define life. The references to trumpets, acclamation, and the coming of Christ also place the lyrics within Christian hope for resurrection and gathering with the Lord. Rather than dwelling on earthly distress, the song keeps its attention on Jesus’ promise and the joy of final redemption.
