Vous avez cherché: you knew me well (Anglais - Swahili)

you taught me well
unajua kiswahili

i knew you knew
i knew you will say it

i thought you knew her
nilidhani unajua

would that you knew this!"
laiti mngejua!

i wish you knew how much i feel
natamani ungejua

i wish you knew what the reason was
laiti ungejua jinsi ninavyokukumbuka

if you knew with knowledge of certainty.
sivyo hivyo! lau mngeli jua kwa ujuzi wa yakini,

and yet if you knew with positive knowledge
sivyo hivyo! lau mngeli jua kwa ujuzi wa yakini,

would that you knew what the clatterer is!
na nini kitacho kujuilisha nini inayo gonga?

it is better for you if only you knew it.
hiyo ndiyo kheri yenu, ikiwa nyinyi mnajua.

and if you fast it is good for you, if you knew.
na mkifunga ni bora kwenu, kama mnajua.

listen to me well: they're just being lazy.
nisikilizeni: wamekuwa wavivu tu.

and this is indeed a mighty oath, if only you knew –
na hakika bila ya shaka hichi ni kiapo kikubwa, laiti mngeli jua!

he knew what you knew not, and appointed ere that a nigh victory.
yeye anajua msiyo yajua. basi atakupeni kabla ya haya ushindi karibuni.

- which is indeed a great oath if only you knew it -
na hakika bila ya shaka hichi ni kiapo kikubwa, laiti mngeli jua!

he knew what you knew not, and he granted besides that a near victory.
basi atakupeni kabla ya haya ushindi karibuni.

(ere to that) you knew neither what the book nor what the faith was.
ulikuwa hujui kitabu ni nini, wala imani.

he will say, "you only stayed for a little while, if only you knew.
atasema: nyinyi hamkukaa huko duniani ila kidogo, laiti ingeli kuwa mnajua.

and you were taught that which you knew not - neither you nor your fathers."
na mkafunzwa mlio kuwa hamyajui nyinyi wala baba zenu?

surely when god's appointed time is come it will not be put off, if only you knew!
hakika muda wa mwenyezi mungu utapo fika haucheleweshwi. laiti mngejua!
