(Oh yeah, Jah bless, easy now)
Listen to me, my beautiful queen, yeah
I have to pack my bags and head to school today
To build a brighter future, I must walk this way
It hurts to leave your side, my shining morning star
But my devotion stays, no matter where we are
Just hold the ring and keep our dream alive
Nchetekela, my love, trust in me
Nizabwera kukukwatila, just wait and see
I will return to make you my beautiful wife
And walk beside you for the rest of my life
(Oh yeah, believe me)
The books and lectures are calling out my name
But deep inside my soul, your fire burns the same
Distance is a test, but our bond is strong
In your arms is where my heart will always belong
So keep the faith and do not shed a tear
Nchetekela, my love, trust in me
Nizabwera kukukwatila, just wait and see
I will return to make you my beautiful wife
And walk beside you for the rest of my life
I will return for you, my love
Nchetekela, believe in me
Jah bless our journey, one love
