SUBIRI(WAIT) LYRICS AND TRANSLATION BY MERCY MASIKA,EMMY KOSGEI &EVELYN WANJIRU

Chorus: 
Afadhali kungoja kumgoja bwana
( It is better to wait on the Lord) 
Subiri, subiri bwana
( wait, wait on the Lord)

 verse 1 
Usichukue njia ya mkato
( Dont take shortcuts) 
Usipotoshwe na shauri la wasio haki
( dont be misled by the counsel of the wicked) 
Heri mtu yule, afuataye sheria ya bwana
(Blessed is he who delights in the law of the Lord)
 Atakuwa kama mti, kando kando ya maji
( He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water) 
Huzaa matunda, kwa majira yake
( He yields fruit in his season) 
Kila atendalo atafanikiwa
( in all he does he prospers)

verse 2 
Umekuwa na maswali mengi mno
( You have been asking so many questions) 
Unashangaa mungu yuko wapi
( you have been wondering, where is my God) 
Umebisha bisha mungu yuko wapi
( You have knocked and the door doesnt seem to open) 
Kufunga na kuomba
(You have fasted and prayed 
Kukesha na kuomba
(You have been praying all night)
Hupati majibu
( You are not getting answers to your prayers 
Mungu sio mwanadamu, hadanganyi
( Gods not a man that he should lie)
Subiri kwa imani, subiri, wewe subiri
( Wait patiently, wait on the Lord, just wait)
