Zb - Panguza macho ili uone mbele Lyrics
Lyrics
Walikusema, walikucheka,
lakini kesho mambo itakuwa shwari
mambo itakuwa shwari na wewe
Panguza macho, panguza macho ,
panguza macho ili uone mbele ,utacheka tena
Panguza macho, panguza macho ,
panguza macho ili uone mbele ,utacheka tena
Wale wale watu. ulikula nao, ulicheka nao,
ata kutembea, ulienda nao
unaona onaonana nao ,wako wapi
Walikuacha ukizubaa
walikuacha ukilia
hao,walikuacha ukiwa down
panguza machozi usilie
Kumbuka sarah alipata mtoto baada ya kuvumilia,
kesho itakuwa vyema na wewe
Panguza macho, panguza macho ,
panguza macho ili uone mbele ,utacheka tena
Panguza macho, panguza macho ,
panguza macho ili uone mbele ,utacheka tena
Shamba ni yako, wanakupeleka kortini, ufanye nini?
gari umenunua sura baya wakapita nayo, wakutakia nini?
ata huko kazini moto umewaka, wanataka nini?
ulidhani umepata lazizi ,kumbe ilikuwa bure.
akutesea nini unaonaonaonana nao,wako wapi?
Walikuacha ukizubaa , Wako wapi?
walikuacha ukilia, hao,walikuacha ukiwa down,(they left you while u where stressed)
Eeh panguza machozi usilie safari bado,
kilio kinaweza kuwa usiku furaha inakuja asubuhi ,
wewe utacheka tena
Panguza macho, panguza macho ,
panguza macho ili uone mbele ,utacheka tena
Panguza macho, panguza macho ,
panguza macho ili uone mbele ,utacheka tena
Baba, baba, baba, baba x2 ,anaweza
Baba wa mbinguni baba wangu mie,Anaweza
Walikupa kisongo wakaenda
Kesho watakupa saluti
Mungu wetu hana ubaguzi ,anakuona
Panguza macho, panguza macho ,
panguza macho ili uone mbele ,utacheka tena
Panguza macho, panguza macho ,
panguza macho ili uone mbele ,utacheka tena

Meaning & Inspiration
Zb's powerful anthem, "Panguza macho ili uone mbele," burst forth on April 2, 2018, offering a beacon of resilience to everyone navigating life's often harsh realities. This isn't merely a song; it's a profound spiritual declaration, a reminder that even in our deepest valleys, divine hope and eventual triumph are assured.
The narrative at the heart of "Panguza macho ili uone mbele" is a deeply relatable journey through tribulation. It speaks directly to the experience of being slandered and ridiculed, of facing laughter from those who once seemed companions, only to be left abandoned and distraught. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of betrayal, highlighting how those with whom one shared meals, laughter, and even journeys can suddenly disappear, leaving one "down" and "confused." This pain of human treachery echoes the experiences documented throughout scripture, from Joseph's abandonment by his brothers to the Psalmist's lament about close friends turning against him, as seen in Psalm 41:9. Even Jesus Himself faced the ultimate betrayal from a disciple. Yet, amidst this raw depiction of hurt, the song immediately introduces its core message: "Panguza macho ili uone mbele," a call to wipe away tears and refocus one's vision towards the future. This spiritual clarity is crucial, urging us to look beyond immediate pain to the promise of what is to come, aligning with Paul's exhortation in 2 Corinthians 4:18 to fix our eyes "not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
The song delves deeper into the specific trials that can beset an individual: legal battles over rightful possessions, the envy of others regarding personal achievements like a new car, workplace hostility, and the disappointment of relationships that promised much but delivered only emptiness. These are universal struggles, mirroring the adversity faced by many figures in the Bible, where the righteous often contend with unjust accusations and malevolent intentions. The narrative of Job, for instance, details extreme loss and misunderstanding, yet he maintained his integrity and trust in God's ultimate plan. Zb's lyrics acknowledge the crushing weight of these burdens, but swiftly pivot to a powerful reminder of divine intervention and steadfastness.
One of the song's most poignant moments arrives with the reference to Sarah, who "got a child after enduring." This direct allusion to the biblical story of Abraham and Sarah in Genesis 17 and 21 serves as a profound testament to God's faithfulness and miraculous power even in seemingly impossible circumstances. Sarah, who endured years of barrenness and ridicule, eventually conceived and bore Isaac in her old age, fulfilling God's promise. This example powerfully reinforces the message that patience, perseverance, and unwavering faith in God's timing will yield abundant blessings. It serves as a personal prophecy for the struggling soul: "tomorrow it will be well with you," a promise that aligns with the hope found in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
The chorus, consistently returning to "Panguza macho ili uone mbele, utacheka tena" (Wipe your tears so you can see ahead, you will laugh again), is not just a comforting refrain but a strategic command to embrace spiritual foresight. It beautifully culminates in the recognition that "kilio kinaweza kuwa usiku furaha inakuja asubuhi" (weeping may last for the night, but joy comes in the morning), a direct and moving echo of Psalm 30:5. This verse is a cornerstone of Christian hope, assuring the afflicted that temporary suffering gives way to enduring joy through God's grace. The song emphatically declares that the "Heavenly Father, my Father, He can" ("Baba wa mbinguni baba wangu mie, Anaweza"), affirming God's omnipotence and personal involvement in our lives. This resonates with Philippians 4:13, "I can do all this through him who gives me strength," and Jesus's own words in Matthew 19:26, "With God all things are possible."
Ultimately, "Panguza macho ili uone mbele" culminates in a declaration of divine justice and vindication. The song promises a complete reversal of fortune: those who once caused pain and ridicule will eventually "salute" the one they scorned. This speaks to the biblical principle that God uplifts the humble and brings down the proud, as seen in Luke 1:52. The profound truth, "Mungu wetu hana ubaguzi, anakuona" (Our God has no discrimination, He sees you), assures every individual that no one is overlooked by the Creator. God’s impartial gaze discerns every struggle, every tear, and every injustice, offering comfort from passages like Psalm 139, which speaks of God's intimate knowledge of us, and Hebrews 4:13, where "nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight." This song is more than just an encouragement; it's a testament to the unwavering sovereignty and compassion of God, reminding us that even when all human support fails, our Heavenly Father is ever-present, capable, and just, ready to transform our weeping into laughter and our despair into triumph. It encourages a faithful persistence, knowing that our ultimate vindication comes from Him, inspiring us to keep our spiritual eyes open to the glorious future He has planned.
