Lyrics
Refrain
Kishindo cha wakoma (The roar of the lepers)
Kiliwakimbiza Washami (Caused the Arameans to flee)
Kishindo cha wakoma (The roar of the lepers)
Kiliwakimbiza Washami (Caused the Arameans to flee)
Mungu akiwa upande wetu (When God is on our side)
Ni nani aliye juu yetu? (Who can be against us?)
Mungu akiwa upande wetu (When God is on our side)
Ni nani aliye juu yetu? (Who can be against us?)
Verse 1
Njaa ilipowakabili (When hunger overwhelmed them)
Wenye ukoma waliotengwa (The lepers who were isolated)
Wakasema: “Kuliko tufe hapa kwa njaa (They said: “Rather than we die here of hunger)
Ni bora twende kambi la Washami (It is better to go to the camp of the Arameans)
Ni maadui zetu siku zote (They are our enemies always)
Twendeni tuombe chakula (Let us go and beg for food)
Na tena huenda tukauawa (And again, we may be killed)
Lakini bora kambi la Washami.” (But it's better to go to the camp of the Arameans.”)
(Repeat)
Verse 2
Walipokaribia kambi la Washami (When they came near the camp of the Arameans)
Washami wakasikia kishindo cha magari (The Arameans heard a roar like that of chariots)
Kishindo cha magari ya Waisraeli (The roar of chariots of Israel)
Na kumbe zilikuwa nyayo za wakoma (Yet it was only the footsteps of the lepers)
Zilizojawa uwezo wa Mungu (Filled with the power of God)
(Repeat)
(Go to Refrain)
Verse 3
Wahitaji msaada ndugu? (Do you need help, brother/brethren?)
Je, watambua kwamba yuko Mungu (Do you recognize that there is a God)
Awezae kurahisisha magumu tusiyoyaweza? (Who is able to make easy the difficult things we cannot?)
(Repeat)
Chorus
Waweza kumwita El Shaddai (You can call Him El Shaddai)
Waweza kumwita Adonai (You can call Him Adonai)
Waweza kumwita Elohimu (You can call Him Elohim)
Mungu aliye karibu na watu (God who is close to His people)
(Repeat)
Bridge
Na hata sasa Bwana ametupigania (And even up to now, the Lord has fought for us)
Pigania kwa ushindi (Fought for us victoriously)
Na tutashinda zaidi ya kushinda (And we shall be more than conquerors)
Kwa yeye aliyetupenda (Through Him who loved us)
(Repeat)
