(Ayy, yoh!)
Twenty-seven years, my love, look at us now
From the Copperbelt to the world, eish!
It’s a journey, a beautiful journey
Patrick and Matilda, the story we write
Twenty-seven seasons, still shining so bright
My dear Matilda, you be my rare jewelry, true
Cut from a unique ore, I only want you
No other heart beats the way you do for me
Like the mighty Zambezi, flowing so free
Twenty-seven years of togetherness, we celebrate
Our love is the gold, sealed by our fate
I will live to love you, today and for all days
In this abundance of love, we walk in your ways
Matilda, my jewel, you captive my soul
Twenty-seven years, and you make me whole
I remember the start, when we took that first step
Every bit of this union, I keep it, I accept
Chukwu has blessed us, with grace and with might
Walking together, from morning to night
My heart is a garden, you are the bloom
Chasing away every shadow of gloom
Twenty-seven years of togetherness, we celebrate
Our love is the gold, sealed by our fate
I will live to love you, today and for all days
In this abundance of love, we walk in your ways
Matilda, my jewel, you captive my soul
Twenty-seven years, and you make me whole
Never find another you, that is the truth
You were the fire in the days of our youth
We grow like the nshima, steady and strong
With you by my side, I can never go wrong
Natotela for the years, natotela for the grace
Just seeing your smile, makes me win every race
Twenty-seven years of togetherness, we celebrate
Our love is the gold, sealed by our fate
I will live to love you, today and for all days
In this abundance of love, we walk in your ways
Matilda, my jewel, you captive my soul
Twenty-seven years, and you make me whole
Twenty-seven years, and we just getting started
My Matilda, my heart is never departed
Ayy, yoh, to infinity and beyond
Our union, blessed by the Almighty, forever bond
Twenty-seven years of gold, yeah!
(Natotela, my love, natotela!)
