Lyrics

1. Nnamugereka atuwa ebirungi
tumutebaze ffe
Ka tumutwalire ku bino ebyaffe
Ku by'atugabira tumuddize ffe
(Resp.) A! Lugaba, Nnamugereka
God who gives us good things
let us give Him thanks
Let us bring Him these our offerings
From what He gives us, let us give back to Him
(Ah! The Giver, God!)

Mujje tubitwale
Tubitwale gy'ali
Omukama abisiime
Ebivudde mu ffe (×2)

Come, let us take them
Let us carry them to Him
That the Lord may accept them
These that have come from us (×2)
2. Nnamugereka agaba ebirungi
Nnamugereka tumuddize ffe
Ffe abamutonera tumwewe naffe
Alyoke asiime bye tutona ebyo
Nnamugereka omulungi bw'atyo
Buli k'olina mutonere ggwe
Nnamugereka omulungi bw'atyo
N'obulamu bwo bumuddize oyo
God who bestows good things
Let us give back to Him
We who labour for Him, let us give ourselves too
So that He may be pleased with the things we do
God who is this good
Whatever little you have, offer it up to Him
God who is this good
Your very life too, give it back to Him

3. Twanguweko tugende gy'ali
Nga tuli kimu ffenna atusiime
Oyo gw'omanyi ng'era omukyaye
Ky'akusaba musonyiwe oyo
Alyoke asiime ekirabo ky'owa
Ekimusanyusa era ekiwooma

Let us make haste and go to Him
United as one, that He may be pleased with us all
The one you know you are estranged from
Whatever he asks of you, forgive
So that He may accept the gift you offer
The gift that delights Him and is pleasing
Weebale weebale Ssebo Lugaba weebale
Weebale, weebale atuwa ebingi tumwebaze
(Resp.) Tweyanzizza Lugaba, weebale tweyanzizza
Ffenna twogera kimu Ssebo nti weebale
Thank you, thank you, Lord, O Giver, thank you
He who gives us much, let us thank Him
(We give thanks, O Giver, thank you, we give thanks)
We all say as one, Lord: thank you

Ffenna tuli mu ssanyu Ssebo okukwebaza
Ssebo obulamu bw'otuwa ... okukwebaza
By'otugabira bingi weebale
Naffe tusaana tuyimbe Ssebo okukwebaza

We are all filled with joy, Lord, to thank you
For the life you give us, Lord ... we thank you
For the many things you give us, thank you
We too ought to sing, Lord, in thanks to you
