(Ayy, yoh! Gertrude, my love! Listen to the sweet guitar, ayy!)
When I see you walking down the Lusaka street
My heart dey do double-beat
Muli shani, my beautiful queen?
The finest girl that I've ever seen
No be boza, my love is true
Everything I do, I do for you
Oh Gertrude, my love, you be my life
Natotela for the joy you bring inside
With the handclaps and the sweet guitar play
I go love you every single day
Gertrude, sweet lady, oh my love!
Mayo! The way you smile, it's a miracle
Your love is physical and spiritual
From the Copperbelt down to the Falls
It is your name that my heart calls
Ifwe together, we go stand so strong
This is our beautiful love song
Oh Gertrude, my love, you be my life
Natotela for the joy you bring inside
With the handclaps and the sweet guitar play
I go love you every single day
Gertrude, sweet lady, oh my love!
(Ayy, sweet Gertrude... natotela mukwai... yoh, my love!)
