Ayy! Lesa atupele!
Natotela Mayo!
Bansemi baino myaka baji nalukazho
Babena kukalwa kufunda bana
Mumazubo muji ndoti, kwipika kajo kebayuka ne
Kuwasha byakuvwala kabayuka ne
Nanti ino ntanda ibenakuya kwepi
Mayo, ifwe tonkela Lesa
Ntanda yandi, ntanda yandi
Yoh! Lesa wakanaka
Ntanda yandi, ntanda yandi
Mukwai, we rise up today!
Hallelujah! Praise His name!
Ntanda yandi, forever grateful
From Lusaka to the copper belt
Ifwe tonkela everyday
Bana bandi, mwaiseni!
Lesa atupele strength
Kabayuka ne, kabayuka ne
Nati ino, we celebrate
Mayo! The blessing dey show!
Ntanda yandi, ntanda yandi
Yoh! Lesa wakanaka
Ntanda yandi, ntanda yandi
Mukwai, we rise up today!
Hallelujah! Praise His name!
Ntanda yandi, forever grateful
Ayy! Natotela!
Lesa atupele!
Ntanda yandi oh!
