Baba Saidiasisi / One Love

May 24, 2019 By Elise Witt

24 May

Learned from Dina, Rehema & Eliza Eliya
@ Global Village Project, Decatur GA

Baba sikia Baba
Kiliyo cha wana wako
Baba poke a Baba
Maombi ya wana wako
Si si wana Africa
Twalia twa omba Baba, Amaniiiiiii

Baba saidiasisi
‘wa Congo twa te seka sana
Hu ija liye inchi yetu amani
Du misha uhuru na umoja
Punguza u mwangaji damu
Baba twakua ombaaaaa

Eh Africa / Tu pendane
Chukina fitina / Tutu piliye ‘mbali
Ta maha yavyeo / Tui aje
Na tupi ganishe vita vya sisi kwa sisi
Na tupi ganishe vita vya sisi kwa sisi

God, please listen to the voices of your children
People in Africa are crying and praying
Take the prayers of your children
God help your people in the Congo
Because so many are suffering and dying
Give us peace

“Baba Saidiasis” Sung by GVP Ensemble 2018-2019
