Muli shani, Ba Edward Kondashi, the boss!

Seventy years of wisdom, seventy years of light,
You guide the family, you make the future bright.

A man of honor, no be for the fame.
We pour the drink, we eat the nshima, we sing,
For the joy and peace that you always bring!

You teach us love, you teach us integrity.
No boza here, this one is pure love,
A special blessing sent from heaven above.
Mayo! Seventy looks so good on you,
Strong and handsome, forever true!
