For everything you do, Mayo...
Mum Idah Mwansa, this one is for you.
Listen...
From the morning light to the evening shade
You carried the weight, never let it fade
With a smile on your face, you give us hope
Giving us the strength so that we can cope
Mayo, you be the guide for the family
Loving us so deep, unconditionally
No matter the storm, you stand so tall
You be the big tree that will never fall
Mum Idah Mwansa, twatotela! (Ayy)
For the love you show, twatotela! (Yoh)
Mayo mukwai, you are our star
No matter where we go, near or far
Mum Idah Mwansa, twatotela! (We thank you!)
Your blessings dey cover us, everyday
You teach us to pray, you teach us to stand
Holding our future inside your hand
No boza in your words, only pure grace
Bringing warm light to this holy place
From the copper lines to the world
Your beautiful soul always shines
We thank God for the day you were born
Our protector from the night till the dawn
Mum Idah Mwansa, twatotela! (Ayy)
For the love you show, twatotela! (Yoh)
Mayo mukwai, you are our star
No matter where we go, near or far
Mum Idah Mwansa, twatotela! (We thank you!)
Your blessings cover us, everyday
Twatotela, mukwai
Mayo, we love you
Mum Idah Mwansa...
On God, we thank you (Ayy)
