Zambian Fever (R&B Fusion — English, Nyanja & Bemba)
By Richard Clavabo Mhango
Verse 1
Midnight mu Kasama, lights down low
Perfume yako yalanda before you show
Nalikutemwa baby, whisper mu ear
Every breath ulepepa, you pull me near
Ukandikata bwino, nshilefwaya go
Mumenso yobe baby, ndemona glow
Pre-Chorus
Girl, umutima wandi teubepa
You got me burning, nikulaleka
Nikukonda sana, iwe wine
Body yandi yonse yalefina
Chorus
This Zambian fever, baby don’t go
Slow-motion love, chilekeni flow
Your touch nga mvula ya ku Lusaka pa skin
Ndeipya inside, but I never wanna cool again
Baby nkumbate, usandekele
Zambian fever… just us mpaka dawn
Verse 2
Phone on silent, world ingayembekezya
Heartbeat yako eyo ine ndemfwako bwino
Say “uleya bwanji” and I lose control
Tapali medicine iya kupanga heal my soul
Tuleya pamodzi, mpaka ubushiku
Love yakwe yandibika mu chisungu
Bridge
If love ni sickness, nkakele mu arms zobe
If ni fire baby, let it burn slowly
Iwe e chikonko cha mutima wandi
Without you baby, nshaba bwino nangu panono
Final Chorus
This Zambian fever, baby stay close
Nkumbate bwino, don’t let go
Your love yalenga ndifye weak, but I want more
Let this fever never break… forevermore
Twikale fye iwe na ine
Mpaka imyaka yonse, baby stay
Outro
Zambian fever…
Niwe weka tonight
Mpaka morning light
Nalikutemwa sana…
Forever tonight. Make a song
