Yesu Azali Awa

A really wonderful song that I learned to sing at NSLC during one of our worship sessions. It’s by the group Selah who grew up in the Congo as missionary kids. They sing many Congolese songs but this one is the first one I’ve heard. The words are really simple to learn and very catchy!

Yesu azali awa (Jesus is here)

Verse 1:
Yesu azali awa
Yesu azali awa
Yesu azali awa na biso (Jesus is here with us)

Chorus:
(Yasolo)
Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya, na Yesu
(Yesu mwana N’zambe)
Alleluya, Alleluya, Alleluya, na Yesu

Verse 2:
Biso toko komo kuna (We are going there)
Biso toko komo kuna
Biso toko koma kuna na lola (We are going there to Heaven)

[Many thanks to the blog Notes from Nigera for the lyrics and translation of the song.]
