[Intro]
Drums + bass lock in, guitar skanks on the off-beat, horns waiting in the wings
Ndagoma Nanu yesu, Ndagoma Nanu yesu, Ndagoma Nanu yesu
[Chorus]
Ndinu fumu yamafuma, Ndinu fumu yamafuma
Ndinu fumu yamafuma, Ndinue fumu yamafuma
Bass hits deep as the horns blaze, saints rise in praise
Ndinu fumu yamafuma
[Verse 1]
[Ndagoma Nanu yesu] voice rises, asking gently but with fire: Ndani munthu padziko lino, ndikuona chuma cha dziko rino?
Ndiko kulankhula kwa mtima: who is this in all the earth who can save? (Ndani munhu padziko lino...)
Drums breathe, bass walks, guitar echoes the need, I ask with truth until the last breath
[Verse 2]
[Ndani munthu padziko lino...] bass anchors, drums hold steady, guitar answers with a growing plea
This is the moment, the chorus turns to testimony, we search for the light and find relief in you
[Chorus]
Ndinu fumu yamafuma, Ndinu fumu yamafuma
Ndinu fumu yamafuma, Ndinue fumu yamafuma
Bass pushing, horns lifting, hearts proclaim the name
Ndinu fumu yamafuma
[Bridge]
Horns swell, keyboard pads pad the air, voices rise in unison, a powerful resolve
We testify in rhythm, we worship in truth, our voices crown the day
[Chorus]
Ndinu fumu yamafuma, Ndinu fumu yamafuma
Ndinu fumu yamafuma, Ndinue fumu yamafuma
Bass roars, horns blaze, the crowd sings as one
Ndinu fumu yamafuma
[Outro]
Drums taper, bass lingers, guitar closes with a final reggae skank, praise remains
Ndagoma Nanu yesu, Ndagoma Nanu yesu, Ndagoma Nanu yesu
