(Acoustic adungu strumming)
Ngun wone konyen ko mede nio...
Katonda, bless my house.
Juru Betty, my strong wife, stand tall, eh.
We started from the zero level in the camp, banange
Three days without food, the hunger was so strong, naye
But Juru Betty, your resilience is a shining lamp
You keep the fire burning even when the night is long
Nan nyanyar ta parik, my beautiful queen
The strongest woman that I have ever seen
Oh Ngun, unlock the chain of poverty today!
Bless my children as we walk this heavy way
Moi and Duku, stand strong, do not fail
Poni Christine, Abigail, you will prevail
Blessings and Christabel Kandenya, hear my voice
One day we shall overcome and we will rejoice!
My children, the journey ahead is still very rough
But you must work hard, you must be tough
Respect your mother, respect your father, respect the elders too
Katonda is watching, He will make a way for you
Though the camp is hard, don't you ever lose your grace
We are rising up to a better place!
Oh Ngun, unlock the chain of poverty today!
Bless my children as we walk this heavy way
Moi and Duku, stand strong, do not fail
Poni Christine, Abigail, you will prevail
Blessings and Christabel Kandenya, hear my voice
One day we shall overcome and we will rejoice!
Juru Betty, be of good courage, bambi
We are not giving up
Ngun wone konyen ko mede nio
Hallelujah... Amen
