Ayy, Miriam Mateta, ayy yoh
My lovely daughter, my blessing
Miriam Mateta, Nakulata Mwanaka
Your ways never fade out, ey
Omihupulo choe chikulu enene
My hustling is for you to go far
Farther than I ever reached, you understand?
Your dreams will one day come true, no lie
O musipili okite ukulu
If I your father built a house
Then you go buy a car, bigger than mine
If I got a job, then you become my boss
Ki tapelo yaka kuwena Mwanaka
Miriam, Miriam Mateta
You are my blessing, you are my pride
Miriam, Miriam Mateta
Push in your studies, reach for the sky
Your father's blessing upon you always
Miriam, my daughter, you go far far
Okuongoche Imulela kayumi
Kayumi kakule peunja Nako
Kakulele, that's my blessing to you
As you keep pushing in those books
Best wishes Mama Soko, ayy
Chakulimukiwa, everybody see
Kina Ndataho Gerald King say it
Soko Stars shining, that's you daughter
Your name written in the stars
Miriam, Miriam Mateta
You are my blessing, you are my pride
Miriam, Miriam Mateta
Push in your studies, reach for the sky
Your father's blessing upon you always
Miriam, my daughter, you go far far
Miriam Mateta, ayy
My blessing, my pride
Go far, go far
Yoh!
