UHORO MWEGA basically means Good news. The gospel too is good news so in kikuyu we can say UHORO MWEGA. The whole idea of salvation is way more than Good news.
Lyrics
Thînjo cia mbûri, mîgoma
(The sacrifices of Goats)
Citingiahotire gûtheria
(Could not be able to sanctify me)
Gîîko ohh kîu kîmwe mûtharabainî
nîkîo ûhoro woothe
(Only that one act on the Cross did it)
Thakame ohh îyo imwee, ya Gatûrume kaa Ngai mwene hinya woothe
(Only the blood of the lamb of God, Lord Almighty.
Niî ndi haha nyiihîte mûno ndaririkana haria Awa andutîte
(I stand here so humbled when i think of how far Father God has brought me)
CHORUS
Ûhoro mwega, Ûhoro mwega, atî nie ndarî mwîhia,
(Good news, Good news is that I was a sinner)
Na ndigiahotire gûîtheria agîtheria na thakame ya Jesû
(I was unable to cleanse my self and He washed me by the blood of Jesus)
Verse 2
Uyû mûtwee ûngîanjia kûûma, kûngathia
(If my head hardens, and i start to rebel)
Ûndirikanie harîa wanduutire
(Remind me where you brought me from)
Nduîke ta wanarûmwo nî nyoka
(That i may be like the one who has been bitten by a snake)
Nyonage kamûkwa ngoora misiri ndigacooke
(That i will run whenever i see anything like a snake, even a rope. That i will not go back to Egypt)
Ndirî ûngî ndorete no weh
(I have no other but you Lord)
Tuge Nie mwene nikîî ingîîkîra
(What can i do by myself?)
Hiinya waku ndanawona,
(I have seen your might before)
Ûtûrage na nie Awa hîndî Ciothe.
(Walk with me all the days of my life)
Ndirî ûngî ndorete no weh
(I have no other but you Lord)
Tuge Nie mwene nikîî ingîîkîra
(What can i do by myself?)
Hiinya waku ndanawona,
(I have seen your might before)
Ucerage na nie Awa hîndî Ciothe.
(Walk with me all the days of my life)
CHORUS
Ûhoro mwega, Ûhoro mwega, atî nie ndarî mwîhia,
(Good news, Good news is that I was a sinner)
Na ndigiahotire gûîtheria agîtheria na thakame ya Jesû
(I was unable to cleanse my self and He washed me by the blood of Jesus)
