Tata wane, my father, my hero
Listen to this one
From the mornings in the village to the city light
You held my hand and you taught me what is right
Tata wane, mwankuzya ningo, you raised me well
With your love and your strength, I have a story to tell
Tata wane, twasanta mukwai
You be the pillar of my life, no lie
Every day I pray for you, my champion, my guide
With you by my side, I walk with my head high
Tata wane, twasanta mukwai!
You work so hard just to feed the family
Under the Zambian sun, you give us harmony
No matter the storm, you stand like a rock
Your wisdom is the key that opens every lock
Tata wane, twasanta mukwai
You be the pillar of my life, no lie
Every day I pray for you, my champion, my guide
With you by my side, I walk with my head high
Tata wane, twasanta mukwai!
Twasanta sana, Tata
God bless you, my hero
