New Beginning Lyrics English Translation by Joel Lwaga
The poet repeats Today, I stand with new strength in my heart, turning the line into a personal sunrise. He mentions tears, yesterday and a guiding hopeful voice, so the listener walks each step beside him.
Nilikuwa Gizani Nikitafuta NjiaI was in the darkness, searching for a way,
Nikijifunza Kusimama Baada Ya KuangukaLearning to stand again after falling down.
Kila Jeraha Lilinifanya ImaraEvery wound only made me stronger,
Leo Ninasimama Na Nguvu Mpya MoyoniToday, I stand with new strength in my heart.
Ninaacha Jana Nyuma YanguI’m leaving yesterday behind me,
Ninaamini Kesho YanguI believe in my tomorrow.
It’s A New BeginningIt’s a new beginning,
Mwanzo Wa Kila JemaThe start of everything good.
Ya Kale Hayapo TenaThe past is gone,
Nimefuta Ninaanza Upya NowI’ve erased it and I’m starting over now.
It’s A New BeginingIt’s a new beginning,
Sitazami Ya Nyuma TenaI’m not looking back anymore.
Machozi Hayapo TenaThere are no more tears,
Nimefuta Ninaanza Upya NowI’ve wiped them away and I’m starting over now.
Safari Si Rahisi Ila NaendeleaThe journey isn’t easy, but I’ll keep going,
Kila Hatua Inanisogeza MbeleEvery step moves me forward.
Sauti Yenye Tumaini InaniongozaA hopeful voice is guiding me,
Najua Nitafika NaaminiI know I’ll get there, I believe.
Ninaacha Jana Nyuma YanguI’m leaving yesterday behind me,
Ninaamini Kesho YanguI believe in my tomorrow.
