Fire Dancer – Voices of Kenya

Where the Flame Speaks Every Tongue

English


Let the drums of Heaven sound,
Let the sparks fall to the ground.
I will not move, I will remain,
A dancer in His Holy flame.
Fire Dancer, ever true,
The flame in me,
burns because of You.

Swahili


Acha ngoma za mbinguni zipige,
Cheche zianguke chini.
Sitahama, nitasimama,
Mchezaji katika moto Wake Mtakatifu.
Mcheza Moto, mwaminifu daima,
Moto uliomo ndani yangu,
unawaka kwa sababu Yako.

Kikuyu


Ngoma cia iguru ciigage,
Mũthithia ugwacwo thĩ.
Ndĩgũtũngatĩka, ndĩgũkorwo ndĩrĩ na wendo,
Mũthithani mũno wakiũrũ wa Ngai.
Mũthithani wa mwaki, wa kũmenyerera,
Mwaki ũrĩndĩ,
ũrathima nĩ ũndũ waku.

Luo


Let oganda polo otam,
Awuoth gigi podho piny.
Ok abiro wuok, abiro bedo kanyo,
Ja wuoth e mach maler mar Ruoth.
Jachiegni mar mach, ja adier,
Mach ma en e dala ma anyo,
loso nikech in ema omiyo.
