Na sima ba nguna na ngai, liboso mitambo na bango,
Nzela ko kima na yebi te,
Na bombami na yo yonde mobateli malamu,
Bipayi lisungi ezangaka te Mosungi na ngai elikia na ngai.
Bipayi ngai na koki te yo nde koka po na ngai suka na ngai suka te
Nzambe bolingo,
Otali ngai pamba te na zali motuya na
Misu na yo kita o sala ba nguna ba kufa nsoni
Ref: Sunga Ngai, Ngai moko na koki te yawe,
Sunga ngai Ata ngai na za moke,
Na yebi yo' za monene bitumba nioso yo o bunda na yoka sango te ba
Longa yo elombe mobali yo bomoyi pe kufa é simbami na maboko ma yo
Yoshua amashia Ata ngai na za moke,
Na yebi yo oza monene bitumba nioso yo o bunda na yoka sango te ba
Longa yo elombe mobali yo bomoyi pe
Kufa é simbami na maboko ma yo sunga ngai

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Aime Nkanu's song Unkuatshishe entail a plea for assistance from God. The opening lines describe the singer's situation as being surrounded by people who are carrying heavy loads, while the singer is carrying nothing. The singer is lost and does not know the way to go, and begs for God to guide them. The next lines express gratitude for God's love and mercy, recognizing that the singer is undeserving but has been granted peaceful moments. However, the singer confesses that they have not been able to return the love that God has shown them, and that they need God's help to do so. The chorus repeats the lines "Sunga Ngai," meaning "Hold me," as the singer implores God to take control of their life and steer them in the right direction.


The second verse is a mix of different languages including Swahili, Lingala, and English. The verses express a sense of surrender to God's will, no matter what it may be. The use of the phrase "Umvuluka mudikenga djanji" means "Rise up, prince of heaven," which shows recognition of God's sovereignty and authority. The lyrics also mention the name Joshua, which is the Hebrew name for Jesus, indicating that the song is directed to the Christian God. The chorus repeats once more, this time with the addition of various African tribal expressions, asking for protection from evil and danger.

The song is a prayer for help and guidance, recognizing the singer's own limitations and the need for divine intervention.

Cette chanson la 1 ère fois que je l'avais écouté il ya plus de 7 ans ,je traversais des difficultés énormes,j'ai pleuré ce jour en l'écoutant,mais j'ai saisie le message et j'ai dis au seigneur,ngai moko na koki te, aide moi.
Aujourd'hui en 2021 😂🙏
Ohh mon Jésus tu es bon💝
Qui se confie en toi ne reste jamais dans la confusion
Le Dieu des cas impossible
Celui qui dit un mot et la chose arrive.
Mon Ebenezer ,c'est toi qui est l'œuvre de ce que je suis aujourd'hui
La délaissée,la mère célibataire,la pauvre, celles là qui n'avait pas de diplômes
Tu as réécris l'histoire de ma vie😭 aujourd'hui je suis une dame respecté
Oui mon Dieu est capable.
