Siogopi (I’m Not Afraid) Lyrics by Paul Clement
(Sung in Swahili) Siogopi kuchelewa (I’m not afraid of being late) Sababu Mungu wangu hachelewi, wala hawai (Because God does not delay, nor does he ever) Siogopi mateso yangu (I’m not afraid of my tribulations) Sababu ye ananipeleka, kwenye ukuu wangu (For He is taking me to my greatness) Siogopi kudharauliwa (I’m not afraid of being despised) Maana ndiko kunakonipa heshima yangu (Because there is where I receive my honor) Siogopi adui zangu (I’m not afraid of my enemies) Maana najua ni adui wa Mungu wangu (For I know that they are the enemies of my God) Siogopi hivi vita vyangu (I’m not afraid of my battles) Maana ndivyo vinaivyonipa ushindi wangu (For they are they that will bring me my victory) Refrain: Siogopi, Siogopi! (I’m not afraid) Siogopi, Siogopi! (I’m not afraid) I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid! I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid! (Repeat) Nimepewa mamlaka (I have been given authority) Siogopi nge na nyoka (I’m not afraid of the scorpion or the snake)
