Tanzanian National Song

Watch the YouTube video above to listen to the Maboha Primary School singing their national song.

Maboha is a fairly remote village on the edge of Tabora region, about 70km west of Urambo. FUM built Maboha clinic and has supported it for many years, helped by Cranbrook School student visits.

The village men catch fish in nearby Lake Sagara. In the dry season crocodiles from the lake have sometimes entered the village causing much panic.

Follow the lyric in Swahili and the English translation:

Tanzania Tanzania
Nakupenda kwa moyo wote
Nchi yangu Tanzania
Jina lako ni tamu sana
Nilalapo nakuota wewe
Niamkapo ni heri mama wee
Tanzania Tanzania
Nakupenda kwa moyo wote

Tanzania Tanzania
I love you with all my heart
My country Tanzania
Your name is very sweet
When I sleep I dream of you
When I wake I am at peace
Tanzania Tanzania
I love you with all my heart
