(Ayy, yoh)
For the ones who gave me life, you know?
Mayo, Tata, this is for you.
Listen...
(Yoh!)
From the streets of chipata, we were walking slow
But you told me, mwanawanga naiwe uzakula.
Mayo used to wake up early in the cold
KUnikonzekelesa kusukulu,
Nawo amdala enzokonzekela uyenda Ku shorp.
In their love and their vision, we put our trust
Never let us go hungry, never let us fall
Futi mainza ikafika enzoyenda Kwa kagona utisakilira food ooh mama
(Ayy!)
Natotela Mayo, Natotela Tata
For the love that you gave me, nothing else matter
, but to me you are the king
Every single blessing that your holy hands bring
Oh Mayo, oh Tata, I praise you today
From the bottom of my heart, I just want to say:
Zikomo ngako thank you, for all that you do
My whole life is a testament to you.
(Yoh!)
Mwenzotitenga tiyeni Ku Kingdom Hall,
Told me I would make it in this beautiful land
Even when the money tight, you still gave me hope
Holding on together, climbing up the slope
No boza in your words, only truth and grace
Wiping every single tear that fell on my face
I remember pa my 40th unvessary munanidalisa manje siuyu namanga nyumba APA rent no more ooo!
(Ayy!)
Natotela Mayo, Natotela Tata
For the love that you gave me, nothing else matter
Every single blessing that your holy hands bring
Oh Mayo, oh Tata, I praise you today
From the bottom of my heart, I just want to say:
Zikomo ngako thank you, for all that you do
My whole life is a testament to you.
(Yoh!)
Jehova bless my mother, jehova bless my father
Keep them strong and happy, let them go farther
Everywhere they walk, let the blessings overflow
No more pain, no more struggle, only joy in their heart
Nothing in this world can ever tear us apart
Ifwe family, we stand together as one. Tikuleleni makolo athu mpaka kalekale,
I look at where I am, and I see your grace
So I sing this song with a grateful heart
Grateful for the love that you gave from the start.
(Ayy, yoh!)
Nikuyamikani Mayo, nikuyamikani Tata
Pachikondi chanu pa ise Ana, nothing else matter
Oh Mayo, oh Tata, I praise you today
From the bottom of my heart, I just want to say:
Natotela, thank you, for all that you do
My whole life is a testament to you.
(Yoh!)
Zikomo kwambiri.
For my mother and my father.
My heroes, my strength.
(Ayy)
One Rabiya and kavulamungu
Thank you...
