R/ Sasa latimiya 
sasa latimiya agano 
alilosema tangu kale 
sasa latimiya 

1.  Usiku kati nasikiya 
Sauti toka mbali sana, 
Malaika waja 
waja wakiimba, 
Sasa latimiya, 

2. Wachunga mulio bondeni 
Njooni wote kwa haraka 
Kitoto maskini
Chalazwa nyasini 
Sasa latimiya.

3. Maria akimufunika
Yosefu akimchungulia
Kwa mashangao wote
Wote wakiimba
Sasa latimiya

4. Wa kwanza kwenda kumwabudu 
Majusi walitoka mbali 
Alama ya nyota 
Ilitangulia 
Sasa latimiya.
