MOTANŨ MA NTHĨ NDIMENDAA

(Earthly pleasures vainly call me)

1.

Motanu ma nthĩ ndimendaa,

Nĩthĩwe ta Yesũ;

Vati ũmwe ũkambova,

Nĩthĩwe ta Yesũ.

 

Chorus:

Wathi wakwa nĩw’o ũũ,

Nĩthĩwe ta Yesũ vyũ;

Kwitũ, kw’onthe kĩla saa,

Nĩthĩwe ta Yesũ.

 

2.

Yesũ nĩwamanangie,

Nĩthĩwe ta Yesũ;

Ala mawendi ma tene,

Nĩthĩwe ta Yesũ.

Nakwa nĩendete ĩtunĩ,

Nĩthĩwe ta Yesũ;

Ngĩtavany’a syĩtwa yake,

Nĩthĩwe ta Yesũ.

 

4.

Nĩkalae wĩanĩ wake,

Nĩthĩwe ta Yesũ;

Ngyeteela andwae kwake,

Nĩthĩwe ta Yesũ.

(Amen)
