Nigerian Afropop singer, songwriter, actress and activist Yemi Eberechi Alade has released a live session video of her rendition to the song poverty, but this time in Swahili.
Taking to her twitter and Instagram pages, Yemi shared the news while urging fans to follow, watch and share.
The song is a about diligence and well use of monetary gains from Gods blessings. Yemi alludes to poverty as a sickness and hence she doesn't want to be sick. Part of the lyrics closely resemble those from the hymn, "Count Your Blessings"
Here are the lyrics
Sitaki umasikini maishani hapana oh (rara rara)
Sitaki umasikini maishani hapana oh (rara rara)
Sitaki umasikini maishani (rara)
Umasikini maishani (rara)
Umasikini maishani hapana oh
Nasema hapana, hapana ah
Sema hapana, hapana ah
Nasema sitaki (no no no no)
Mi sitaki (no no no no)
Eii hapana
Dhamani yangu ni saa
Nitatumia vyema oh
Baba Mungu kanibariki
Nitatumia vyema ooh
Hesabu baraka ndugu yangu
Oh dada yangu
Zitaje moja kwa moja ooh
One, two, three, four, five
Umasikini ni ugonjwa
Na sitaki kungojeka
Yahweh yuko na mimi
Shida hutuhepa sisi
Weiyoyo, weiyoyo
Baraka tele hunifuata
Cheki nikishine
Ju prosperity follow me
Cheki nikishine
Excellence follow me
Everywhere I go
Na sasa sasa currency mpya
I no wan see poverty for my life rara o
