[Verse 1 - English] Woke
up
before
the
sunrise,
feet
on
a
cold
floor,
No
husband
by
her
side,
but
love
unlocks
every
door.
With
tired
hands
she
hustles,
but
her
heart
will
never
bend,
Every
scar
upon
her
soul
is
for
her
children
in
the
end.
[Chorus - Mix] Eunice,
Mama
wa
amaka (
Bemba -
Mother
of
strength)
You
carry
the
world,
but
you
never
break,
You
carry
the
world,
but
you
never
break,
Mukaintu
uukosede
For
your
children,
every
mountain
you
will
shake.
Abana
bobe,
insansa
yakwe
Bana
bako,
nguzu
zyako
She
lives
for
them,
she
prays
for
them,
Lesa
amupale,
Leza
amulonge
[Bridge - Slow, Emotional - Dedicated to her children] And
she
says
to
them:
Nalila
busiku,
but
she
wipes
her
tears
for
them.
Taatulangidi
biyo,
ulabombela
bana
bako (
Tonga &
Bemba
mix -
She
doesn't
just
look,
she
works
for
her
children)
No
rich
man,
no
easy
road,
wanyanta
pa
makasa (
she
walks
on
her
feet),
But
in
her
small
house,
there
is
love
yaisula
ng'anda (
that
fills
the
house).
[Chorus - Bigger, with Drums & Choir] Eunice,
Mama
wa
amaka
You
carry
the
world,
but
you
never
break,
You
carry
the
world,
but
you
never
break,
Mukaintu
uukosede
Mukaintu
uukosede
For
your
children,
every
mountain
you
will
shake.
Abana

Bana

She
lives
for
them,
she
prays
for
them,
Lesa

Leza

[Bridge - Slow, Emotional - Dedicated to her children] And
she
says
to
them: "
My
babies,
abana
bandi,
bana
bangu (
Bemba &
Tonga -
my
children),
Everything
I
do,
ndecitila

Bemba -
I
do
it
for
you)
Ndimulembela,
nsimulembela
ciindi

Tonga -
I
write
for
you,
I
work
for
you
always).
One
day
you
will
see,
mukashininkisha,
Your
Mama
never
left."
[Final Chorus - Powerful, All Languages Together] Eunice,
Mama
wa
amaka -
STAND
UP!
Mukaintu
uukosede -
DON'T
GIVE
UP!
Abana
bobe,

Bana

Your
children,
your
life)
Oh
Eunice,
single
mother,
queen
of
your
home,
You
are
not
alone -
Lesa

nawe,
Leza

God
is
with
you)
Eunice...
