Umweo wandi ukabila icebo cenu (My soul longs for your word), katula wandi inshiku shonse (My Saviour, all the days of my life); icebo cenu ecakulya ca mweo wandi (Your word is food for my soul), ka ndyeko naine njikute (Let me eat to satisfaction). Ngefyo umubili ukabila icakulya (Just like the body needs food); no mweo wandi ukabila icebo cenu (my soul longs for your word); mwe Lesa wandi nde kabila icebo cenu (My God I am longing for your word); ngefyo mwasobele imwe mu cipingo cenu, te ku cakulya umuntu enge kala, lelo na ku cebo cenu imwe Tata Lesa, nakwena cine umuntu kuti aikala (Just as you prohecied in your word that man does not leave by bread alone but by your word can man survive). icebo cenu ecakulya ca mweo wandi (Your word is food for my soul), ka ndyeko naine njikute (Let me eat to satisfaction).
A zambian song done in bemba language where this choir was saying "my heart yearns for ur word ,ur word is my heart's bread ,may I have it so that I can satisfy spiritually". Wat a song !!! Even me as I coment I desire God's word and scriptures in order for me to be comforted . Thank u mt sinai for that wonderful peace of music ....
I'll try my best to translate: My life always seeks your word( My Saviour=Katula wandi) Your word is the life sustaining food for my life ( spirit, soul) let me eat so that I may live. As the body requires food, so does my soul require your word Lord I desire your word so my spirit will also be nourished/filled. Just as you have said in your word, man does not live by bread alone
