(Ay!) My promised joy, my little heart
(Wagwan, yeah) Oh Lubinga, my binga boy
I learned to be a mother through you
Every single day, everything was new
Through the pain, the fear, the anxiety too
But look at the love that I found in you
It’s a big man ting, how you stole my heart
Right from the moment that we did start
I’m learning the ropes, yeah I’m trying my best
To put all your worries and your fears to rest
Lubinga, you’re my promised joy, my boy
A piece of me, you’re my pride and toy
You set my heart with flames of pure delight
I’ll be your soldier through the darkest night
Lubinga, yeah, you’re my promised joy
My kindest soul, my binga boy
I’m still learning how to be the one you deserve
Sometimes I’m shaking, sometimes I lose my nerve
But I promise you, there’s no battle I won’t fight
I’ll keep you warm and I’ll keep you bright
If I made a mistake, please forgive your mummy
Sometimes life’s road can be a bit crummy
But the love that I have, it’s a fire that grows
Deep in my soul, that’s how it flows
Lubinga, you’re my promised joy, my boy
A piece of me, you’re my pride and toy
You set my heart with flames of pure delight
I’ll be your soldier through the darkest night
Lubinga, yeah, you’re my promised joy
My kindest soul, my binga boy
From a place full of love, I give it to you
Everything I am, yeah, it’s all for you
No perfect parenting, I know that’s true
But a mother’s heart, that’s what I offer you
(Big man ting!) Yeah, it’s all for you
So keep on growing, my little star
No matter where you go or who you are
I’m here in the ends, I’m here by your side
With nothing to fear and nothing to hide
My binga boy, you’re the best of me
Locked in my heart for eternity
Lubinga, you’re my promised joy, my boy
A piece of me, you’re my pride and toy
You set my heart with flames of pure delight
I’ll be your soldier through the darkest night
Lubinga, yeah, you’re my promised joy
My kindest soul, my binga boy
My promised joy (yeah), Lubinga (rrr!)
My binga boy, mummy loves you still
Yeah, from a place of love
(Big man ting) Always for you.
