Tazama Ramani

(a) Tazama ramani utaona nchi nzuri,
Yenye mito na mabonde mengi ya nafaka,
Nasema kwa kinywa halafu kwa kufikiri,
Nchi hiyo mashuhuri huitwa Tanzania,
Majira yetu haya yangekuwaje sasa?
Utumwa wa nchi Nyerere aliukomesha!

(b) Chemchem ya furaha ama nipe tumaini,
Kila mara kwako niwe nikiburudika,
Nakupenda hasa hata nikakufasili,
Nitalalamika kukuacha Tanzania,
Majira yetu haya yangekuwaje sasa?
Utumwa wa nchi Karume aliukomesha!

(c) Nchi yenye azimio lenye tumaini,

Ndiwe peke yako mwanga wa watanzania,
Ninakuthamini hadharani na moyoni,
Unilinde nami nikulinde mpaka kufa,
Majira yetu haya yangekuwaje sasa?
Utumwa wa nchi Nyerere aliukomesha!
