Rwimbo Rwa Rikuza

Maiden Kasambai

Vandu valingila mu kilivwa, mwigulu mwigulu

Vosi valanyola itaji, ulingila ulingila

Mihanda jilava milahi, ja valombela idhahabu

Vindu vilahi vilavaho, ulingila ulingila

Valagelitsa kwinjirayo, ndavuza shi valinyala mba

Si valinyola ku vihanwa, ulingila ulingila

Valajeliza vandu vavo, vakuza kale vakristayo

Valava mu lindili, ulingila ulingila

Na valalola mwami yesu, uvuvereri vulatula

Halasangala mu vulindili, ulingila ulingila

Valiguliza ku mulyango, mwigulu mwigulu

Valavolelwa su kumanyi, ulingila ulingila

Valageliza kwinjira yo navuzwa si vanyala mba

Si valinyola ku vihanwa, ulingila ulingila

Vandi valimba nu vuyanzi, mwigulu mwigulu

Lwimbo lwagula na masayi, ulingila ulingila

Valasheriza vandu vavo

Hakuza kale vakristayo, valava vosi mu vulindili

Ulingila ulingila

Kandi vudinyu vulatulizwa, mwigulu mwigulu

Kandi valanyola itaji, ulingila ulingila

Na valalola mwami yesu, uvuvereri vulatula

Valasangala mu vuhindili, ulingila ulingila

Funeral song

People will enter in the gate, in heaven in heaven

All will get a crown, you will enter you will enter

The roads will be nice, made of gold

Good things will be there, you will enter you will enter

Others will try to enter but they will not manage

They will not receive presents, you will enter you will enter

They will try, we Christians will have entered

They will be waiting, you will enter you will enter

They will see the lord Jesus, there will be sorrow

We will rejoice as we wait, you will enter you will enter

They will knock the door, in heaven in heaven

They will be told "we do not know you" you will enter you will enter

They will try to enter but they will not manage

They will not receive presents, you will enter you will enter

Others will sing and rejoice, in heaven in heaven

A song that was saved by blood, you will enter you will enter

They will greet their people

Where we are going Christians will be taken care of

You will enter you will enter

All troubles will be taken away, in heaven in heaven

They will also receive a crown, you will enter you will enter

They will find the lord Jesus, there will be sorrow

They will rejoice at length, you will enter you will enter
