(Yebo, asambe)
We reflecting today, yeah
For the legend, Michael Sikabalu
(Sho, let's go)
Memories flowing like the river tide
With Michael Sikabalu right by my side
We gather round to share a cold one now
To the life we living, we take a bow
From Zambia lands where the roots run deep
Promises made that we always keep
With Shimuduzu, my grandchild so dear
We raising a glass and we shedding a tear
Michael Sikabalu, you the star tonight
Under the rhythm and the golden light
Sikabalu wachimwela, shine so bright
BaZambia love you, yeah that’s right
Oh Michael, we singing, we feeling the glow
Watching you sparkle, letting it show
Oye oye, let the music play
Michael Sikabalu, light up the day
Look at the faces, look at the crew
Everything’s changing but we staying true
Mom Carol, thank you for the heart you give
Teaching us truly just how to live
Dad Arthur, you the rock, you the base
We see the love written on your face
God bless you all, keep the fire inside
With nowhere to run and nothing to hide
(Sharp sharp, eish)
Michael Sikabalu, you the star tonight
Under the rhythm and the golden light
Sikabalu wachimwela, shine so bright
BaZambia love you, yeah that’s right
Oh Michael, we singing, we feeling the glow
Watching you sparkle, letting it show
Oye oye, let the music play
Michael Sikabalu, light up the day
Time moves fast, but the vibe stays still
Drinking to moments, yeah we always will
From the city streets to the Zambian sun
Our journey together has only begun
(Aweh, let's go)
So let’s drink up, let the bottles clink
More than you know, more than you think
We celebrating you, Michael my friend
This is a story that will never end
With my grandchild near, Shimuduzu too
Every single blessing returns to you
Keep rising up, keep reaching for the sky
As long as the rhythm is passing us by
Michael Sikabalu, you the star tonight
Under the rhythm and the golden light
Sikabalu wachimwela, shine so bright
BaZambia love you, yeah that’s right
Oh Michael, we singing, we feeling the glow
Watching you sparkle, letting it show
Oye oye, let the music play
Michael Sikabalu, light up the day
Shine like a star, Michael Sikabalu
(Yebo, we love you)
Mom and Dad, we bless you all
Always standing, never gonna fall
(Aweh, sharp sharp)
We shine, we shine.
