REACH IN TO THE PAST


Msakhulu
Father of the lands fertile
Give us insight in a time fragile
In your words so wise
Lead us across the faults
Lead us across the lines

Oloibon
Leader of all ages
Grant us your judgment,
That the trials ahead
We may quell and manage
Overcoming all testament

Mumbi
Mother of the sages,
Help us rewrite these pages,
Meditating below the mugumo
Show the path that is right

Mekatili Wa Menza
Lady of unending courage
Keeper of the coast
Teach us not to boast,
Show us clarity
Beaming with charity

Jaduong
Lord of the sea
Lord of the lake
With the strength of the waters
Grant us your wit
To make the future better
For those tomorrow will meet.

Kinjeketile, Kabaka
Neighbors so kind
Guide us forth,
With your care, let us shine
In fruitful glory, let us dine
Welcoming Asante hene
Seer of the divine

Shaka, Luanda Magere, Fumo
Warriors most revered
Forge forward our path
Hold us firm on earth
Mold us strong in our hearts
May castles rise from our huts
May peace reign on our lands.
