(Aweh) Otridar Mwenya Mpundu
Yes, the queen, the one and only
(Sharp sharp) Listen close now
I’m sitting here thinking of the road we walked
Through the valleys and the hills where we talked
Since I was small, you held me in your hand
Guided my steps, helped me understand
You sacrificed so much to see me shine
I’m grateful that you are the one that’s mine
From your first born, Chris, with love in my soul
You’re the one who keeps me feeling whole
(Yebo)
Otridar Mwenya Mpundu, you’re my star
Doesn’t matter if I’m near or if I’m far
Mama, you’re the best, you’re the golden prize
I see the wisdom shining in your eyes
Otridar Mwenya Mpundu, you’re my star
No matter where you go, you’re never far
My mother, my hero, my light so bright
You make everything feel alright
I remember the lessons you taught me well
Stories of life that you used to tell
With a heart of gold and a spirit so strong
You taught me right from the way that’s wrong
(Eish) You moved mountains just for me
Whatever I wanted, you let me be
From a young boy to the man you see
You’re the only reason I’m standing free
Otridar Mwenya Mpundu, you’re my star
Doesn’t matter if I’m near or if I’m far
Mama, you’re the best, you’re the golden prize together with my brothers and sisters we say God bless you mama.
I see the wisdom shining in your eyes
Otridar Mwenya Mpundu, you’re my star
No matter where you go, you’re never far
My mother, my hero, my light so bright
You make everything feel alright
(Asambe) Let’s celebrate the one who gave me life
Through all the struggle and through all the strife
Chris is the son who’s proud to say
I love you more than words can ever convey
Otridar, you’re the queen, yeah you know it
Look at your son, I’m here to show it
So keep on smiling, keep on glowing too
There’s no other woman like the one called you
I’m your first born, standing tall and proud
I’ll shout your name out to the whole wide crowd
Otridar Mwenya Mpundu, that’s your name
Setting my heart and my soul aflame
(Sho)
Otridar Mwenya Mpundu, you’re my star
Doesn’t matter if I’m near or if I’m far
Mama, you’re the best, you’re the golden prize
I see the wisdom shining in your eyes
Otridar Mwenya Mpundu, you’re my star
No matter where you go, you’re never far
My mother, my hero, my light so bright
You make everything feel alright
Otridar Mwenya Mpundu
Yeah, from Chris, your first born
Keep shining mama, we love you
(Aweh, let's go, sharp sharp)
