CHRISTINA SHUSHO-ZAKAYO LYRICS AND TRANSLATION

 Palikuwa na mtu mmoja jina lake zakayo(There was a man named Zacchaeus)

Mkubwa kwa watoza ushuru naye ni tajiri( The chief tax collector)

Alitafuta kumuona Yesu ni mtu wa namna gani( He desired to see Jesus)

Asiweze kwa sababu ya umati wa watu( But couldn't because of the crowd)

Maana ni mfupi wa kimo( zakayo)( For he was short in stature)

Akatangulia mbio(He went ahead)

Akapanda juu ya mkuyu( And climbed a tree)

Apate kumwona kwa maana atapita njia ile( To see Jesus for he would use the same path)

Naye Yesu alipofika mahali pale( When Jesus got there)

Alitazma juu kamwambia( He looked up and said)

Zakayo shuka upesi shuka shuka( Come down Zacchaeus) (repeat)

Bwana tazamanusu ya mali yangu nawapa masikini( Lord, half of my wealth I'll give the poor)

Na ikiwa nimenyang'anya mtu kwa hila namrudishia maranne( And what I have taken unlawfully I'll return four folds)

Zakayo shuka(repeat) ( Come down Zacchaeus)
