Lyrics
Simba lololo, simba anaguruma
Simba lelele, simba anaguruma
Simba wa kike anaguruma leo, simba anaguruma
Simba nyikani anaguruma wowo, simba anaguruma
Simba porini anaguruma leo, simba anaguruma
Mwambieni yule mbweha, nimerudi kutoka njangwani
Nimesimama tena kwenye zamu yangu
Wapeni habari wale umbwa
Hii si bahati mbaya, mbingu zimeniamini
Mungu amenidhibitisha
Mpe salamu Yezebeli
Nimerudi kutoka njangwani
Nimesimama tena kwenye zamu yangu
Wapeni habari wale umbwa
Hii si bahati mbaya, mbingu zimeniamini
Mungu amenidhibitisha
Simba lololo, simba anaguruma
Simba lelele, simba anaguruma
Simba anaguruma, simba anaguruma
Simba anaguruma, simba anaguruma
Mimi simba wa kike
Kuwinda ndio asili yangu
Nitawinda popote, nitaguruma popote
Mbele ya mnyama wowote, kwenye pori lolote
Katika nyakati zote, sitaogopa chochote
Sitanyamaza hadi Mungu atakaponitwalia utukufu
Jeuri yangu, kumcha bwana ndio jeuri yangu
Kumcha bwana ndio fahari yangu
Kumjua Mungu ndio jeuri yangu
Kumcha bwana ndio jeuri yangu
Simba lelele (Mawindoni niko mawindoni)
Simba anaguruma leo (Mawindoni niko mawindoni)
Simba wa kike anaoguruma leo, simba wowowo
(Mawindoni niko mawindoni)
Kumcha bwana ndio jeuri yangu, simba
Kumjua Mungu ndio jeuri yangu, simba yeyee
Malengo yangu mimi ni Mungu wangu, simba yeyee
Fahari yangu mimi ni Mungu wangu, simba yeyee
Simba lelele (Mawindoni niko mawindoni)
Simba wa kike hodari katikati ya mawindo
Nitatenda kwa akili, kuyafumbua mafumbo
Nitanguruma alfajiri, jioni nilete mawindo
Sitanyamaza mpaka Mungu anipatie utukufu
Simba lelele (Mawindoni niko mawindoni)
I'm a champion (Yeah yeah)
Champion (Yeah yeah)
Super champion (Oh Yeah yeah)
Mimi champion, I'm a winner
I'm a champion (Yeah yeah)
Champion (Yeah yeah)
Super champion (Oh Yeah yeah)
Mimi champion, I'm a winner
I'm a champion (Yeah yeah)
Champion (Yeah yeah)
Super champion (Oh Yeah yeah)
Mimi champion, I'm a winner
Simba lololo, simb

Meaning & Inspiration
“Simba” uses the image of a roaring lioness to express restored courage, resilience, and confidence under God. The repeated announcement of a return from the wilderness suggests recovery after hardship, while standing again at an assigned post conveys renewed responsibility. Hunting and roaring language gives the testimony a bold, combative character, yet the lyric repeatedly identifies reverence for the Lord and knowledge of God as its true source of confidence and honor.
The song’s claims of being a champion and winner are therefore framed by dependence on God rather than self-sufficiency. Its refusal to fear or remain silent presents faith as active endurance, and its repeated desire for God to receive glory places achievement beneath divine honor. Proverbs teaches that reverence for the Lord brings strong confidence, which closely matches the song’s own explanation of its boldness. Psalm 27 likewise joins confidence with freedom from fear, while Paul’s instruction to boast in the Lord helps clarify the lyric’s insistence that God remains its ultimate pride and goal.
