Rose Muhando - Kimbembe Lyrics
Lyrics
Kama umekaa upande wa maadui basi jipange
Na kama umekula kuku na bia za wafilisti
Utazitapika, maana hii
Lazima ing'oke na mtu
Walimnyoa nywele za usoni wakasema wameshamweza
Wakamtuma gerezani wakadhani wameshammaliza
Walisahau siri ya Samson ni nywele zake
Walisahau kwamba nguvu za Samson ni nywele zake
Zimeota tena, zimeota tena
Nywele zimeota tena, zimeota tena
Kamba zimekatika, zimekatika
Minyororo kukatika, imekatika
Kamba zimekatika, zimekatika
Minyororo kukatika, imekatika
Kumbe zimeota tena, zimeota tena
Nywele zimeota tena, zimeota tena
Kufumba na kufumbua mambo yalibadilika dakika hio
Waliona mawenge, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Wafilisti mawenge, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Jamani mawenge, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Delilah na madanga yake, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Delilah na washikaji, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Wafilisti mawenge, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Mambo yalipobadilika, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Maandishi yalipobadilia, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Walishindwa kuisoma namba, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Kichapo kikali mbaya mbovu, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Walishindwa kuisoma namba, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Mavazi yaliwaishia, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
- hazisearch jamani, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Makonzi yamewaishia, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Mawenge mawenge, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Wafilisti mawenge, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Maadui mawenge, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Delilah na madanga yake, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Kibembe, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Kibembe, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Kibembe, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Kibembe, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Walikaa na kwa waganga ili waweze kufuta jina lako
Wakatoa na kafara ili wakatishe uhai wako
Waliteta na kuzimu ili waharibu mambo yako
Walisahau kwamba mkono wa Mungu pamoja nawe
Walisahau kama neno la Mungu li pamoja nawe
Kumbe zimeota tena, zimeota tena
Nywele zimeota tena, zimeota tena
Kumbe zimeota tena, zimeota tena
Nywele zimeota tena, zimeota tena
Kamba zimekatika, zimekatika
Minyororo kukatika, imekatika
Kamba zimekatika, zimekatika
Minyororo kukatika, imekatika
Kufumba na kufumbua mambo yalibadilika dakika hio
Wataona mawenge, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Wachawi mawenge, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
-- mawenge, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Jeshi la kuzimu mawenge, kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Watashindwa kuisoma namba kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Kimbembe walikiona kimbembe
Kimaso, maso maso na wachawi kuzimu
Kimaso, maso maso na waganga kuzimu
Kimaso, maso maso na shetani kuzimu

Meaning & Inspiration
Rose Muhando's 2021 release, "Kimbembe," is a powerful declaration of spiritual victory and the unwavering strength found in faith. The song draws heavily from the biblical narrative of Samson, vividly illustrating how apparent defeat can be a prelude to a resurgence of God-given power. The story behind "Kimbembe" is one of overcoming adversaries, much like Samson's betrayal by Delilah and his subsequent imprisonment by the Philistines. The lyrics speak of those who sought to diminish and conquer, only to discover that the source of true strength, like Samson's hair, was divinely rooted and irrepressible. This resonates deeply with the scriptural promise that God's power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9), and that those who trust in Him will renew their strength, soaring on wings like eagles (Isaiah 40:31).
The central message of "Kimbembe" is that no earthly plot or spiritual attack can ultimately prevail against those who stand firm in their relationship with God. The repeated imagery of hair growing back and chains breaking signifies a supernatural restoration and liberation from bondage. This echoes the psalmist's cry, "The Lord is my strength and my shield; in Him my heart trusts, and I am helped" (Psalm 28:7). The antagonists in the song, referred to as "Wafilisti" (Philistines) and "adui" (enemies), represent any force or entity that opposes God's will and seeks to harm His people. Their efforts to curse, sacrifice, and consult with dark powers are rendered futile by the divine protection enveloping the faithful. The song powerfully conveys that attempts to undermine or destroy someone under God's care are not only doomed to fail but will ultimately result in the downfall of those who perpetrate such wickedness. This is akin to the principle in Galatians 6:7, "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows."
The driving force of "Kimbembe" lies in its unflinching affirmation of God's sovereign power and His commitment to His people. The song emphasizes that divine intervention is swift and absolute. When God's hand is involved, circumstances change instantaneously, leaving adversaries in disarray, unable to comprehend the shift in power. The repeated phrase "kimbembe walikiona kimbembe" captures this dramatic reversal, suggesting that those who sought to inflict suffering or hardship found themselves facing a formidable and unexpected consequence. This is a testament to the truth that "No weapon formed against you shall prosper" (Isaiah 54:17). The song’s unwavering faith in God's ability to rescue and vindicate His own serves as an inspiring call to perseverance, reminding believers that even in the darkest trials, victory is assured through Him.
