(Ayy, yoh... Ruthie, my love. No boza, this is real)
Muli shani, my beautiful Ruth
Every word I talk to you is the truth
Since I met you in Lusaka town
You're the only queen wearing my crown
My heart is beating like a drum, it's true
Natotela, Mayo, I'm in love with you
Oh Ruth, my helper, my light
I want to hold you all through the night
No boza, my love is for real
You don't know the way that you make me feel
Ruth, my baby, my one and only
With you in my life, I can never be lonely
From Copperbelt down to the Falls so wide
I only want you right by my side
They can talk their talk, but I don't care
For you, my sweet Ruth, I'll always be there
Your smile is warmer than the morning sun
In the middle of the crowd, you're the only one
Oh Ruth, my helper, my light
I want to hold you all through the night
No boza, my love is for real
You don't know the way that you make me feel
Ruth, my baby, my one and only
With you in my life, I can never be lonely
(Ruthie... natotela... ayy... my one and only... yoh)
