(Acoustic guitar plays softly)
Ayy... yoh...
To the ones who built our home
In Chingola town, we sing for you
Mayo Idah Mwansa, Tata Edward Kondashi
Twatotela... we thank you
From the streets of Chingola where we grew
You showed us love that is pure and true
Mama Idah, your prayer is our shield
Papa Edward, you worked in the field
You gave us everything, you did not complain
Through the sunshine and through the heavy rain
Now the children are standing today
To praise your name in a special way
Twatotela! (We thank you!)
Mayo Idah Mwansa, we love you!
Twatotela! (We praise you!)
Tata Edward Kondashi, God bless you!
For the love, for the grace, for the home
You will never, never walk alone
Twatotela! (Ayy!)
Your blessings are shining so bright
You guided our steps to the beautiful light
Your lessons are gold in our hearts every day
No amount of money can ever repay
From Copperbelt down to the ends of the earth
We celebrate you, we know your great worth
Mayo, Tata, this is your song!
Twatotela! (We thank you!)
Mayo Idah Mwansa, we love you!
Twatotela! (We praise you!)
Tata Edward Kondashi, God bless you!
For the love, for the grace, for the home
You will never, never walk alone
Twatotela! (Ayy!)
Mayo Idah Mwansa...
Tata Edward Kondashi...
From Chingola with love
Twatotela mukwai
Yoh... we thank you!
