national anthem in kiswahili

The national anthem of Kenya, "Ee Mungu Nguvu Yetu," is a significant symbol of national pride and unity. It is sung in Kiswahili, the national language of Kenya. Here are the lyrics in Kiswahili:

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

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

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

The anthem was adopted in 1963 when Kenya gained independence from the United Kingdom. It was composed by a team led by Mzee Meza Moroa Galana and is a prayer for blessings, justice, unity, peace, and prosperity for the nation.
