Christina Shusho – Litapita Lyrics (Swahili) with Line-by-Line English Translation
Nimeona hofu imetanda dunia
I have seen fear spread across the world
Hofu imetanda dunia
Fear has filled the world
Huku na huku mambo yamebadilika
Here and there, things have changed
Mambo ni tofauti
Things are different
Tamaduni zetu si kama mwanzo
Our traditions are not like the beginning
Si vile tulivyozoea
It is not the way we are used to
Aliye nacho analia
The one who has something is crying
Asiye nacho pia analia
The one who has nothing is also crying
Tajiri, masikini tumekuwa sawa
The rich and the poor have become the same
Si vile tulivyozoea
It is not what we are used to
Hili nalo litapita ee, litapita ee
This too shall pass, it will pass
Hili litapita ee, kutapambazuka
This too shall pass, dawn will break
Hili nalo litapita ee, litapita ee
This too shall pass, it will pass
Hili litapita ee, asubuhi yaja
This too shall pass, morning is coming
Hili nalo litapita ee, litapita ee
This too shall pass, it will pass
Hili litapita ee, kutapambazuka
This too shall pass, dawn will break
Hili nalo litapita ee, litapita ee
This too shall pass, it will pass
Hili litapita ee, asubuhi yaja
This too shall pass, morning is coming
No situation is permanent
No situation is permanent
Nyakati huja na kupita
Seasons come and go
Watu huja na kuondoka
People come and leave
Kila kitu chini ya jua kina mwisho
Everything under the sun has an end
Shida na raha zina mwisho
Troubles and joy both have an end
Yesu pekee atabaki juu
Only Jesus will remain above
Neno lake, milele yote
His word remains forever
Yeye tu, hana mwisho
He alone has no end
Hili nalo litapita ee, litapita ee
This too shall pass, it will pass
Hili litapita ee, kutapambazuka
This too shall pass, dawn will break
Hili nalo litapita ee, litapita ee
This too shall pass, it will pass
Hili litapita ee, asubuhi yaja
This too shall pass, morning is coming
Hili nalo litapita ee, litapita ee
This too shall pass, it will pass
Hili litapita ee, kutapambazuka
This too shall pass, dawn will break
Hili nalo litapita ee, litapita ee
This too shall pass, it will pass
Hili litapita ee, asubuhi yaja
This too shall pass, morning is coming
