Endasi ♫ (Strength)

Endasi ge maanyi ag’omunda agatuyamba okwanganga buli kimu ekijja.

(Strength is the inner power to withstand whatever comes.)

Bwe busobozi bwaffe okuguma wakati mu kugezesebwa.

(It is our capacity to endure in the midst of tests.)

Endasi zeeyongera okukula bwe tukwataganya ebitugezesa mu bulamu n’obuvumu wamu n’obugumu.

(We grow in strength as we tackle life’s challenges with courage and determination.)

Endasi zaffe zeeyongerera ddala okukula bwe tusalawo okubeera abantubalamu era abugamiikiriza.

(We deepen in strength when we choose gentleness and practice patience.)

Endasi zeeyongera okukula bwe tukkiriza nti okubonabona kya tutonderwa, si lwa kutukumira mu nnaku wabula okutukuza ne kisa.

(We grow strong when we recognise that suffering is a thread woven through the design of our lives, not to make us unhappy, but to transform us with grace.)

“Empisa tezizibibwa mu kasirise oba mu bulungi. Omuntu asobola okufuna obuvumu nga ayise mu bumanyirivu bw’okugezesebwa olwo amaaso ne gagguka, ebigendererwa ne birabika, olwo ne tulyoka ne tufuna obuwanguzi.”

(“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can a soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.”)
HELLEN KELLER
