Verse 1
Oh God of all creation
Ziwa Victoria hadi bara Hindi
Kenya ni sisi -
Tusali tupate maendeleo nchini
Mazao mbali mbali
Ardhi ina madini
Ajira mashinani kwa miradi ya kujiajiri
Lami ipenye nyanja zote toka hapa mjini
Asante Jalali
Bidhaa kwa soko zawasili mbichi
Teke teke twende kazi ninawashawishi
Tusilale tukawa maskini
Maulana nasi daraja imwagie simiti
Kizazi kijacho
Wasikose urithi
Nchi si nchi bila ya jamii ndio msingi
Mizozo chini
Na kamwe tusijisaliti
Tukumbuke-pia shida zipo ng’ambo ugenini
Gharama ya amani kali
Kuwe uwazi
Tusikubali kuibwaga chini (Kenya ni sisi)
Justice be our shield and defender
May we dwell in unity
Peace and liberty
In unity
Peace and liberty
Plenty be found within our borders
 
Verse 2
Let one and all arise
Were different faces
Drawn from different places tribes
Our acres the Maker supplied
Make us abide in favour
We lay our lives
In the arms of the One -
Who has made us survive
Bloodshed in the darkest of nights
Be our guide and bless us
With the wisdom to strive
To be the best among the nations -
The season is ripe
Together we rise were able with God on our side
To live the dreams our fathers applied
The colour the pride
The flag that they died for
The unity I
Was born into this freedom -
A people will rise
We will live to see our children meet their prime
A first world state superpower arise
We are one people
Sustain our ties
Much love at the workplace paying the price
Lord make it suffice
Service be our earnest endeavour
And our homeland of Kenya
Heritage of splendour
Homeland of Kenya
Heritage of splendour
Firm may we stand to defend
 
Verse 3
Let all with one accord
People die when tribalism lives
Refugees become the underlying price for peace
Balkanizing the citizenry
Are we blind this is crime that’s it
Destroying lives of the mwananchi
Kwa matamshi ya utatanishi
Tukatae kutumiwa as pones na the greedy
Lusting after power control utajiri
How can I condone my very own bribe giving?
And condemn the officer of law that receives it? // (huh?)
Justice values beliefs
Mambo ya adili mbona hatuzingatii si?
Mzee Kenyatta’s conservative style
Dedan Kimathi paid the ultimate price
Tom Mboya was ahead of his time
Mashujaa the Kapenguria six
Field marshals and senior chiefs
We celebrate your lives
Build this our nation together
And the glory of Kenya
The fruit of our labour
Glory of Kenya
The fruit of our labour
Fill every heart with thanksgiving


Ee Mungu nguvu yetu
Ilete baraka kwetu
Haki iwe ngao na mlinzi
Natukae kwa undugu
Amani na uhuru
Raha tupate na ustawi.

Amkeni ndugu zetu
Tufanye sote bidii
Nasi tujitoe kwa nguvu
Nchi yetu ya Kenya
Tunayoipenda
Tuwe tayari kuilinda

Natujenge taifa letu
Ee, ndio wajibu wetu
Kenya istahili heshima
Tuungane mikono
Pamoja kazini
Kila siku tuwe na shukrani

Oh God of all creation
Bless this our land and nation
Justice be our shield and defender
May we dwell in unity
Peace and liberty
Plenty be found within our borders.

Let one and all arise
With hearts both strong and true
Service be our earnest endeavour
And our homeland of Kenya
Heritage of splendour
Firm may we stand to defend

Let all with one accord
In common bond united
Build this our nation together
And the glory of Kenya
The fruit of our labour
Fill every heart with thanksgiving.
