Ya kunya haina wingu
(The rain) (That pours has no clouds)
Aisifuye mvua imemnyea
(One who praises rain has been rained upon)
Ahangaikaye sana na jua ajua
(One who slaves in the sun knows does not work in vain)
Alisifuye jua limemwangaza
(The sun has shone on him who praises it)
Daima mbele
(Always forward)
Waridi huzungukwa na miiba
(A rose is surrounded by thorns)
Daima mbele
(Always forward)
Msasi haogopi miiba
(A hunter is not afraid of thorns)
Daima mbele
(Always forward)
Kuishi ni dhamiri
(Living is the intention)
Daima mbele, daima mbele
(Always forward, always forward)
Ukitaka uzuri sharti udhulike
(To achieve greatness one must work hard)
Hakuna kipato bila maumivu
(No gain without pain)
Anayejitahidi hufaidi
(One who tries hard will profit)
Mwenye kujitahidi hufula
(The one who makes an effort will succeed)
Daima mbele
Waridi huzungukwa na miiba
Daima mbele
Msasi haogopi miiba
Daima mbele
Kuishi ni dhamiri
Daima mbele, daima mbele
Shukuru kwa uliyo nayo
(Give thanks for what you have)
Kama u mbaya, jifunze kuimba
(If you (feel) bad, learn to sing)
Hakuna kilicho kitamu kuliko kilichopatikana kwa shida
(There is nothing sweeter than what has been obtained at great effort)
Daima mbele
Waridi huzungukwa na miiba
Daima mbele
Msasi haogopi miiba
Daima mbele
Kuishi ni dhamiri
Daima mbele, daima mbele
