Yeah, you know what time it is!
It’s all about that love, that fatherly love!
Raphael, yeah!
I look back at the days when I was small
My father Raphael, he stood so tall
He showed me how to walk, he showed me how to win
Through the thick and thin, he always let me in
He taught me how to hustle, taught me how to pray
He guided every step along the way
From the city streets of Dar to the morning light
He made sure that my future was burning bright
Oh, Raphael, you are the king of my life
You took away the pain, you took away the strife
Raphael, your love is like a golden flame
I’m proud to carry on, I’m proud to hold your name
Yeah, Raphael, you’re the rock that I need
You’re the water that’s helping the garden to feed
Raphael, yeah, you are the one!
He’s a legend in the game, he’s a mentor too
Always keeping it honest, keeping it true
He told me work hard, never settle for less
That’s the secret recipe for my success
I remember the advice in the middle of the night
When the world felt heavy, he made it feel light
Poa sana, he’s the best, yeah he’s the man
Doing everything for me just because he can
Oh, Raphael, you are the king of my life
You took away the pain, you took away the strife
Raphael, your love is like a golden flame
I’m proud to carry on, I’m proud to hold your name
Yeah, Raphael, you’re the rock that I need
You’re the water that’s helping the garden to feed
Raphael, yeah, you are the one!
No one can replace the love that I found
In the man who always kept me on the solid ground
From Bagamoyo to the city, his name is known
My father Raphael, you’re the seed that’s grown
Twende! Let the music play!
We celebrate my father every single day!
So raise a glass high to the one who stayed true
Raphael, this melody is just for you
I’m the mirror of your heart, I’m the legacy you built
With no room for regret, with no room for guilt
Bongo pride in my soul, and your strength in my bones
I’m conquering the world, I’m claiming my thrones
Yeah, it’s all for you, the best father I know
Watch me shine, watch me rise, watch me grow!
Oh, Raphael, you are the king of my life
You took away the pain, you took away the strife
Raphael, your love is like a golden flame
I’m proud to carry on, I’m proud to hold your name
Yeah, Raphael, you’re the rock that I need
You’re the water that’s helping the garden to feed
Raphael, yeah, you are the one!
Raphael! Yeah, that’s my hero!
WCB style, we never stop!
Yeah, keep shining pop!
Raphael, we love you for life!
Poa! Twende!
