Swahili lyrics
First stanza
Ee Mungu nguvu yetu
Ilete baraka kwetu
Haki iwe ngao na mlinzi
Natukae na undugu
Amani na uhuru
Raha tupate na ustawi.
Second stanza
Amkeni ndugu zetu
Tufanye sote bidii
Nasi tujitoe kwa nguvu
Nchi yetu ya Kenya
Tunayoipenda
Tuwe tayari kuilinda
Third stanza
Natujenge taifa letu
Eeh, ndio wajibu wetu
Kenya istahili heshima
Tuungane mikono
Pamoja kazini
Kila siku tuwe na shukrani
English lyrics
First stanza
O God our strength
Bring a blessing to us
Justice be our shield and defender
Stay with the brotherhood
Peace and freedom.
Happiness we get and prosperity.
Second stanza
Awake, our brethren;
Let’s all work hard
And let us give ourselves mightily
Our country of Kenya
We love it
Let’s be ready to defend it
Third stanza
Let’s build our nation
Yes, that’s our responsibility
Kenya deserves respect
Let’s join hands
Together at work
Every day let us be grateful.
