Chale, listen to the heartbeat of the land
Katiba Mbambu, let’s make a stand
Ei, one love, one nation, yeah
I look across the borders and I see the light
But shadows of the hatred try to dim the sight
Katiba Mbambu, can you hear the sound?
Of brothers and sisters standing on this ground
Why do we fight when the harvest is sweet?
Why do we run when we should be in retreat?
From the valleys to the hills, we share the same air
Let’s cast away the malice, show them that we care
Katiba Mbambu, let the love run free
One Zambia, one nation, for you and for me
Put down the anger, let the peace take its place
We are all running in this one human race
Oyiwa, let the kindness flow like a stream
One Zambia, one nation, living the dream
Wonim? The beauty lies in our unity
In the strength of our diverse community
Katiba Mbambu, you are the voice of the wise
Look at the truth reflected in our neighbors' eyes
No room for the gossip, no space for the spite
Let’s turn on the lamp and banish the night
From the north to the south, we are bound by the soul
Making our country feel completely whole
Katiba Mbambu, let the love run free
One Zambia, one nation, for you and for me
Put down the anger, let the peace take its place
We are all running in this one human race
Oyiwa, let the kindness flow like a stream
One Zambia, one nation, living the dream
Ah ah, the seeds we sow are the fruits we bear
So let us plant love everywhere
Katiba, my friend, it starts with a smile
Walking this road for a thousand miles
Chop life with peace, not with the hate
Before the closing of the golden gate
So hold up your head and speak to the soul
Let reconciliation be the ultimate goal
Katiba Mbambu, the message is clear
We conquer the hatred and silence the fear
Together we rise, together we stand
The greatest brothers in this beautiful land
Yoo, listen close to the rhythm we bring
One nation, one love, is the song that we sing
Katiba Mbambu, let the love run free
One Zambia, one nation, for you and for me
Put down the anger, let the peace take its place
We are all running in this one human race
Oyiwa, let the kindness flow like a stream
One Zambia, one nation, living the dream
Katiba Mbambu, one Zambia, one heart
Never let the hatred pull us apart
Chale, spread the love, let it grow
One nation forever, this is all we know
Oyiwa!
