(Acoustic guitar intro with soft shaker)
Ayy... Oh Lord, hear our prayer
Umutende muchalo chesu, mukwai
Let there be peace
Umutende twakwata muchalo chesu bayaweh lekeni utwalilile
Umutende twakwata muchalo chesu bayaweh lekeni utwalilile
Uyu umutende, mayo!
Umutende twakwata muchalo chesu bayaweh lekeni utwalilile
From Lusaka to the Copperbelt, we sing as one
Under the African sun, what God has begun
Twakana ifyongo, twakana ubulwi muchalo
Twakana inkondo, let love grow
We want to build, we want to rise
No more tears in our mother's eyes, ayy!
Umutende twakwata muchalo chesu bayaweh lekeni utwalilile
Umutende twakwata muchalo chesu bayaweh lekeni utwalilile
Uyu umutende, yoh!
Umutende twakwata muchalo chesu bayaweh lekeni utwalilile
Umutende, umutende, umutende eotulekabila
For the children, for the future, that is what we cry for
Natotela Yahweh, for the peace we feel inside
No more division, let unity be our guide
One Zambia, One Nation, hear our call, mukwai!
Peace and blessings fall upon us all
Umutende twakwata muchalo chesu bayaweh lekeni utwalilile
Umutende twakwata muchalo chesu bayaweh lekeni utwalilile
Uyu umutende, mayo!
Umutende twakwata muchalo chesu bayaweh lekeni utwalilile
Umutende, umutende...
Eotulekabila, mukwai
Natotela bayaweh, ayy...
Peace forevermore
