Nasikia habari ya mji [I hear the story about the city]
Uko mbali na mji na taabu [It is far from trouble and earth]
Nuru yake ni Mwana Kondoa. [The light there is the lamb of God]
Siku moja nitaingiamo. [One day I will enter there]
Haleluya naruka kwa shangwe [Hallelujah I jump for joy]
Haleluya nakwenda kwa mji [Hallelujah I'm going to the city]
Haleluya nafika upesi [Hallelujah I'll be there soon]
Siku moja nitaingiamo. [One day I will enter there]

Kuna nchi pasipo machozi [There is a country without tears]
Na taabu na vita huzuni, [And misery and war’s sorrow]
Wala ‘gonjwa hautakuwepo. [And the disease will not be there.]
Siku moja nitaingiamo [One day I will enter there]
Haleluya naruka rohoni. [Hallelujah I fly in the spirit]
Haleluya nakwenda kwa mji [Hallelujah I'm going to the town]
Haleluya karibu kufika [Hallelujah I’m almost there]
Siku moja nitaingiamo. [One day I will enter there.]

Na jamaa ya nchi ya Heri [And the family of the land are Blessed]
Wanavikwa na nguo nyeupe [They are clothed in white]
Wana taji za dhahabu safi [They have crowns of pure gold]
Siku moja nitakuwako. [One day I will be there]
Halleluya furaha mbinguni [Hallelujah it will be joy in heaven]
Haleluya mashaka hayako [Hallelujah there is no doubt]
Wala shida anguko si huko [No problems there]
Natamani kuingiamo. [I want to enter there]
Abazajya mur’ icyo gihugu [Those who will go in that nation]
Bazaba bambay’ imyenda yera [They will be clothed in white]
Babikiw’ ikamba ry’ izahabu [They have crowns of pure gold]
Umuns’ umwe nzakigeramo [One day I will be there]
Haleluya, nta gushidikanya [Hallelujah there is no doubt]
Mw ijuru hariy’ umunezero [There will be joy in heaven]
Nta bw’ umubabar’ uba mw ijuru [No more sadness]
Niringiye kuzinjiramo [I believe I will enter there]
Nta marir’ aba mur’ uwo murwa, [No more tears in heaven]
Nta muruh’ ubayo n’ intambara [No tiredness and wars]
Nta n’ indwar’ ishobora kubayo [The disease will not be there.]
Umuns’ umwe nzawinjiramo [I believe I will enter there]
Haleluya, nuzuy’ ibyishimo, [Hallelujah I’m full of happiness]
Haleluya, nzinjira mu murwa [Hallelujah I’m going to the town]
Haleluya, ndi hafi kujyayo [Hallelujah I’m almost there]
Umuns’ umwe nzawinjiramo [I want to enter there]
