Eehee yee… eehee…
Yee yee eehee eee ee…
Mbangweta Mukobela…
My queen… my love…
---
It was like a joke… (pause)
Inge lusa hula…
I was a chalk breaker…
Baby come, we talk… (echo: talk… talk…)
Baby come, we talk…
Slow wine, you’re looking so fine…
Girl you blow my mind all the time…
Moonlight shining in your eyes…
True love never tells lies…
Sweet like sugar, sweet like wine…
Baby forever you’ll be mine…
(adlib: hmm hmm… my love… yeah…)
---
Numba akatama, my Angela…
Numba akatama, my Angela…
My queen, my queen…
My queen, my queen… (rising tension)
Your body dancing to the bassline…
Heartbeat moving in the nighttime…
You’re the rhythm in my song…
With you is where I belong…
(DJ voice: “Are you ready?”)

Baby na ku lata…
Baby na ku lata…
Tama pilu yaka mukwae
Tama pilu yaka, life sentence…
Life sentence… no parole…
Baby you captured my soul…
Life sentence… life sentence…
Akatama, akatama…
My queen, my love…
My angel Angela…
Honey honey…
I love you… I love you… (echo layers)
---
Hold me closer, don’t say goodbye…
Without you baby I could cry…
My queen, my healer, my desire…
Your love is taking me higher…
You’re my prayer, my blessing too…
Every day I choose you…
Tomorrow I will choose you…
Even after life, I choose you…
(whisper: only you… only you…)

Baby na ku lata… (fade repetition)
Tama pilu yaka… my light…
Life sentence… no escape… (echo)
My queen… my fate…
Akatama akatama… (chant rises)
Akatama akatama…
I love you… I love you…
Eehee yee… eehee…
