Niweke Salama Bwana Meaning & Lyrics (Sunshine Saoli)
Joan Naisola Saoli writes about those who forgot the one who lifted them up and only wanted what she had. She asks God to teach her to love but with wisdom.
Nilitoa Bila Kuhesabu Kwa Moyo Wa KweliI gave without keeping count, with a sincere heart.
Nilifungua Mikono Bila Kuuliza KeshoI opened my hands without worrying about tomorrow.
Walipokuja Walinitabasamu Wakasema WanipendaWhen they came, they smiled and told me they loved me.
Lakini Ndani Ya Mioyo Yao Walitaka NilichonachoBut deep in their hearts, they only wanted what I had.
Niliposimama Nikasema HapanaWhen I stood up and said no,
Upendo Ukageuka Kuwa ChukiLove turned into hatred.
Maneno Yakawa Sumu Macho YakabadilikaWords became poison and their eyes changed.
Walinisahau NiliyewainuaThey forgot the one who lifted them up.
Ee Bwana Niweke SalamaOh Lord, keep me safe.
Nihifadhi Na Roho WakoPreserve me with Your Spirit.
Nisivunje Moyo Wangu Kwa Wasio Na ShukraniDon’t let the ungrateful break my heart.
Nifundishe Kupenda Lakini Kwa HekimaTeach me to love, but with wisdom.
Nilinde Na Watu Wa HilaProtect me from deceitful people,
Wanaotumia Jina La UpendoThose who use the name of love.
Ee Mungu Wangu Niwekee MipakaOh my God, set boundaries for me.
Maana Wewe Ndiye Ulinzi WanguBecause You’re my protection.
Walichukua Msaada Kama Deni LaoThey took my help as if it were their due,
Kana Kwamba Nilikuwa Na WajibuAs if I had an obligation to them.
Walidai Wakadai Bila Kuona Maumivu YanguThey demanded and demanded without seeing my pain.
Hawakuwahi Kuniuliza “Uko Sawa”They never asked me, ‘Are you okay?’
Sikuangalia KurudishiwaI wasn’t looking for anything in return.
Nilitoa Kwa Ajili YakoI gave it all for Your sake.
Lakini WalipoondokaBut when they left,
Waliondoka Na Heshima YanguThey took my dignity with them.
Ee Bwana Niweke SalamaOh Lord, keep me safe.
Nihifadhi Na Roho WakoPreserve me with Your Spirit.
Nisivunje Moyo Wangu Kwa Wasio Na ShukraniDon’t let the ungrateful break my heart.
Nifundishe Kupenda Lakini Kwa HekimaTeach me to love, but with wisdom.
Nilinde Na Watu Wa HilaProtect me from deceitful people,
Wanaotumia Jina La UpendoThose who use the name of love.
Ee Mungu Wangu Niwekee MipakaOh my God, set boundaries for me.
Maana Wewe Ndiye Ulinzi WanguBecause You’re my protection.
Sitapigana Kwa ManenoI won’t fight back with words.
Sitachukua KisasiI won’t seek revenge.
Ninakukabidhi YoteI hand everything over to You.
Wewe Ndiwe Hakimu Wa HakiYou’re the righteous Judge.
Wanaonichukia Bila SababuThose who hate me for no reason,
Nawaweka Mikononi MwakoI place them in Your hands.
Wanaonitumia Bila ShukraniThose who use me without thanks,
Ninakutegemea WeweI’m relying on You.
Nifanye Niwe MnyenyekevuKeep me humble,
Lakini Si Mtumwa Wa MaumivuBut don’t let me be a slave to pain.
Nifundishe Kusema HapanaTeach me how to say no,
Bila Hatia MoyoniWithout feeling guilt in my heart.
Ee Bwana Niweke SalamaOh Lord, keep me safe.
Nihifadhi Na Roho WakoPreserve me with Your Spirit.
Nisivunje Moyo Wangu Kwa Wasio Na ShukraniDon’t let the ungrateful break my heart.
Nifundishe Kupenda Lakini Kwa HekimaTeach me to love, but with wisdom.
Nitaendelea Kutenda MemaI’ll keep on doing good,
Lakini Macho Yangu KwakoBut I’ll keep my eyes on You.
Maana Baraka Zangu Hutoka KwakoBecause my blessings come from You.
Si Kwa Watu Bali Kwa Mungu WanguThey don’t come from people, but from my God.
Nilinde Ee Bwana…Protect me, oh Lord…
Nihifadhi…Preserve me…
Na Watu Wa Hila…From deceitful people…
Unifishe Mbali…Hide me far away…
