(Ayy, yoh! SloBouY-ZM in the building. Power of education!)
Ndalama zinalibe m'nyumba mwathu
Njala inali mbiri ya tsiku ndi tsiku
But I held my book, under the candle light
I told myself, I will win this fight
Mayo! They said a poor boy can't make it
But look at me now, I didn't fake it!
Maphunziro ndiye mfungulo, yes oh!
SloBouY is a teacher now, let the children know!
From the dust to the classroom, we rising high
No matter where you come from, you can touch the sky!
Maphunziro ndiye mfungulo!
Mukwai, respect the pen and the paper
It will change your life sooner or later
N'na phunzira kwambiri, now I stand so tall
Teaching the nation, standing for you all
No more poverty, we broke the chain
All the tears we cried, were not in vain!
Maphunziro ndiye mfungulo, yes oh!
SloBouY is a teacher now, let the children know!
From the dust to the classroom, we rising high
No matter where you come from, you can touch the sky!
Maphunziro ndiye mfungulo!
Study hard, my children.
SloBouY believes in you.
Education pays.
Yoh! Ayy!
