    hello friends, let me explain, we have a curate in our church from 
tanzania, he is leaving the parish to return to his country, we are having a 
special service for him and i want to finish off the proceedings with the 
tanzanian national anthem, i will teach it to my choir, i am looking for the 
lyrics in swafili, and also the melody, i have got a bad recording from 
youtube and if all else fails i can learn from that, but if anyone on the 
list can point me in the right direction to get a good copy of the national 
anthem of tanzania the lyrics should not be too difficult, we already sing 
some swahili hymns  when he is taking the service, and he joins in with us, 
so we must be getting it right, hope someone can help, god bless, regards 
from ireland, joe.
