Obby Alpha’s “Baridi” is a powerful Tanzanian gospel song from the album Tabasamu, released in February 2026. It expresses the pain of abandonment by family and friends during hardship and the turn to God for salvation and strength.
Niokoe Mungu nahis baridi sio baridi moto sio moto ee Mungu niokoe
Save me God, I feel cold not cold, fire not fire, oh God save me
Niokoe Mungu nahis baridi sio baridi moto sio moto ee Mungu niokoe
Save me God, I feel cold not cold, fire not fire, oh God save me
Niokoe Mungu nahis baridi sio baridi moto sio moto ee Mungu niokoe
Save me God, I feel cold not cold, fire not fire, oh God save me
Niokoe Mungu nahis baridi sio baridi moto sio moto ee Mungu niokoe
Save me God, I feel cold not cold, fire not fire, oh God save me
This verse perfectly mirrors the song’s message of turning fully to God when human relationships fail, affirming His unwavering embrace and strength in seasons of isolation and “cold” suffering.
