Ayy, Bertha, my queen
One year older, you shine so bright
Bertha Mathotho, mwana ba Starneley
Lydia's daughter, you lovely my baby girl
Your kindness flows like water so clear
Your love surrounds me, taking away my fear
Natotela for the strength you bring
One year older, hear the angels sing
Bertha, my queen, happy birthday, my love
May the Good Lord bless you from above
Stronger every day, overcoming all the pain
Bertha, my queen, you're the sunshine in my rain
Yoh, you're the sunshine in my rain
Bertha, my queen, stay blessed, stay strong
Muli shani, you're glowing today
One year wiser in every single way
Challenges come but you stand so tall
Ifwe celebrate you, greatest of all
Starneley and Lydia made you right
A lovely spirit shining so bright
Bertha, my queen, happy birthday, my love
May the Good Lord bless you from above
Stronger every day, overcoming all the pain
Bertha, my queen, you're the sunshine in my rain
Yoh, you're the sunshine in my rain
Bertha, my queen
Happy birthday, my love
May you forever shine
