(Ayy, yoh)
Mayo, my champion
This one is for you, mukwai
You wake up early before the sun is high
Working so hard under the Zambian sky
For the family, you give your very best
No time for sleep, no time to rest
Mayo, you carried the weight for ifwe
With a sweet smile on your face everyday
Oh Mama, Mayo, natotela mukwai
For your love that is wider than the sky
Dedicated, committed, you stood so strong
In your warm embrace is where I belong
Mayo, natotela! (ayy)
Mayo, my champion! (yoh)
When things were tough, you never let us down
You wore your struggle like a royal crown
Putting our needs way above your own
The greatest love that I have ever known
No boza, your love is pure and true
Everything I am, I owe to you
Oh Mama, Mayo, natotela mukwai
For your love that is wider than the sky
Dedicated, committed, you stood so strong
In your warm embrace is where I belong
Mayo, natotela! (ayy)
Mayo, my champion! (yoh)
Thank you, Mum
Natotela mukwai
My sweet Mayo
(Ayy, yoh)
