Lyrics

1. Syitwani ya Asa, Mwiai ndangiiya Syitwani ya mwana Mwiai ndongoesya
Syitwani ya Veva, Mwiai ndonyethya Satani ambita ndikamwitika

Nayu ninguuvoya, Mwiai watei, Yesu ndangiiya
Nimanye wasya waku, Satani ambita ndikamwitika

2. Satani umunthe ekila vandu,Ona kanisani nukuthaitha,
Nundu wa kimena nundu wa nzuku,Nundu wa iteta tuikona usumbi,
3. Umunthi twikilya kyumwa kyathela Tuisemba na utuku kwa mundu mue,
Tutesi no mana (kuthi kuausya, Mwiai akatwita tuthi twi eli) x2
4. Waviaka vau kwake aikwitia ngili ili, Na ilondu na mbui tokutuathima,
Na ivinda ya kwaka nyumba ya Mwiai, Wiumya ikumi na’ivitha ngili

(Translation: In the name of the Father, Lord, save me.
In the name of the Son and the Holy Spirit, Lord, lead me. That when Satan calls I will not answer.
Be on watch, the devil is all over even in church; let’s avoid hatred, gossip and quarrels to inherit God’s Kingdom.
Let’s do away with witchcraft because it’s useless, God is above all the evil. Be careful not to give the world more than God. We run to witchdoctors, which is futile. The witchdoctor demands two thousand, goat and sheep as if blessing you, but during church fundraising you give ten shillings and hide a thousand.)
