O God you are a good teacher
We ewe Mungu wewe ni mwalimu mwema

I am in your class Masia
Niko darasani kwako Masia

Father, please teach me to be quiet
Baba naomba nifundishe kunyamaza

I’m in this period Lord
Niko katika kipindi hiki Bwana

please teach me to be silent
naomba nifundishe kunyamaza

But it is not easy, teach me to be silent
Lakini si rahisi, nifundishe kunyamaza

I long to silence the Messiah
Natamani kunyamaza Masia

Please teach me to be quiet
Naomba nifundishe kunyamaza

There is a possible environment
Yapo mazingira yanayoweza

Make me answer I was wrong
Fanya nijibu nikakosea

For the life we ​​live
Kwa maisha tunayoishi

Please teach me to be quiet
Naomba nifundishe kunyamaza

For what I hear every day
Kwa ninayoyasikia kila siku

Lord teach me to be silent
Bwana nifundishe kunyamaza

For what I see every day
Kwa ninayoyaona kila siku

Eh Father teach me to be silent
Eh Baba nifundishe kunyamaza

I fought eeh, I fought
Nipambane eeh, nipambane

There are things they can do
Yapo yanayoweza fanya

Compete eeh, compete
Nishindane eeh, nishindane

Without the grace of silence
Bila neema ya kunyamaza

I may find myself responding negatively
Naweza jikuta ninajibu vibaya

Without the grace of silence
Bila neema ya kunyamaza

I may find myself saying the wrong thing
Naweza jikuta ninasema vibaya

Oh Jesus you
Wee Yesu wewe

Kwa vinywa nimenenewa mengi

By the ears I have heard a lot
Kwa masikio nimesikia mengi

Lord teach me to be silent
Bwana nifundishe kunyamaza

Teach me to be quiet

Teach me to be quiet

I did not answer and I offended God
Nisijejibu nikakukosea Mungu uu

O God help me God
Ewe Mungu nisaidie Mungu

I really want to protect myself
Ninatamana sana nijilinde

Let me not offend you
Nisije kukukosea

What I want is to protect myself
Ninachotaka nijilinde

Lest I lose you
Nisije kukupoteza

People may want me to fight
Watu wanaweza taka nipambane

I miss you savior
Nikukose mwokozi

Many want me to fight
Wengi wanataka nipambane

I miss you savior
Nikukose mwokozi

In the context of what I see
Kwa mazingira ninavyoyaona

I can fight and offend you
Naweza pambana nikukosee

For man to be silent is ridiculous
Kwa mwanadamu kunyamaza ni ujinga

What I am doing is not going to offend you
Ninacholinda nisikukosee

Let it all go, let me not offend you
Acha vyote vipite, nisikukosee

Yet it burns me to the core
Japo yananichoma mpaka ndani ya moyo

Let it go, let me not offend you
Acha yapite, nisikukosee

I can fight humans
Naweza pambana na wanadamu

But I was losing you Lord
Kumbe nikawa ninakupoteza Bwana

I can fight a man
Naweza pambana na mwanadamu

But I was missing the Messiah
Kumbe nikawa nakukosa Messiah

I can compete with someone
Naweza shindana na mtu

But I was missing the Messiah
Kumbe nikawa nakukosa Messiah

To you I am lifted up
Kwako niinuliwe

Let people be so stupid
Acha kwa watu niwe mpumbavu sana

To you I am a hero
Kwako niwe shujaa

Let people be like a fool
Acha kwa watu niwe kama mjinga

For you I am wise
Kwako niwe mwenye hekima

But I will not be able to keep quiet
Lakini sitaweza kunyamza

Without teaching me
Bila kunifundisha

For as a human being it hurts me
Maana kama mwanadamu inaniuma

But I beg you to teach me
Lakini mi naomba nifundishe
