Ayy! Yoh!
Mayo Tiwonelepo, Tata Zude Ng'oma!
We are dancing for you tonight!
Natotela mukwai! Joy only!
You brought me to this world, you gave me your name
Zude Ng'oma, my papa, your legacy remains
Mayo Tiwonelepo, beautiful mother of mine
I know you are watching from heaven, letting your light shine
Eish, I wish you were here to drink and to dance
But I'm celebrating your life, I won't waste this chance!
Yoh!
Tiwonelepo, Zude Ng'oma, this one is for you!
I am dancing, I am smiling, making you proud too!
Natotela mukwai, for the love that you gave
We go dance Kalindula, we go jump on the wave!
Tiwonelepo! Zude Ng'oma!
(Ayy! Yoh!)
Even though you are gone, your spirit is strong
In the streets of Lusaka, they are singing this song
No more tears, only joy, we are shaking the floor
With the Ndola rhythm, we are asking for more!
Muli shani to the angels, tell them my parents are kings
Listen to the guitar as it happily sings!
Boza! No more sorrow!
Tiwonelepo, Zude Ng'oma, this one is for you!
I am dancing, I am smiling, making you proud too!
Natotela mukwai, for the love that you gave
We go dance Kalindula, we go jump on the wave!
Tiwonelepo! Zude Ng'oma!
Rest in peace, but we dance!
Mayo Tiwonelepo...
Tata Zude...
We celebrate you forever!
Yoh!
