This song is about persevering in our journey with Jesus despite the troubles we may face along the way. It's a call to perseverance and not to repay evil with evil but to wait for God's final judgement.
lyrics
Lyrics:
Pilira nawoni mavuto. (Persevere in troubles.)
Ngakhale padzikoli tikuvutika. (Although in this world we are troubled.)
Tisabwezere choipa kwa wochita zoipa, (Let us not repay evil with evil,)
Zabwino kwa wochita zoipa (x2). (Good with evil.)
Yembekeza. Yembekeza. (Wait. Wait.)
Pilira nawo, mbale, ye… (Persevere in troubles, my brothers, ye…)
Yembekeza-Yembekeza-Yembekeza-Yembekeza. (Wait-Wait-Wait-Wait.)
Ayehova m’busa wanga. (Jehovah, my shepherd.)
Pilira nawo mbale wanga. (Persevere, my brothers)
Usanene ndizabwezera choipa kwa wochita zoipa (x2). (Don’t say I will repay evil with evil.)
Ayehova m’busa wanga. (Jehovah, my shepherd.)
Pilira nawo mbale wanga. (Persevere, my brothers)
Masiku akusadziwa Yehova, (In the days of not knowing Jehovah,)
Iye analekerera zintchito zathu, (He allowed our doings,)
Pakuti Yesuyo anakwera kumwamba, (However, Jesus has ascended to heaven,)
Zabwino kwa wochita zoipa (x2). (Good over evil).
