Ayy! Yoh!
For the love of my father and my mother
Natotela, Mayo! Natotela, Tata!
This one is for you
From the streets of Lusaka, they showed me the way
No matter the weather, they kneel down and pray
Mr Kaziya, the pillar, the shield in the night
You teach me to walk in the heavenly light
And Christen Chileshe, my beautiful queen
The sweetest mother that I've ever seen
You show me grace, you show me the road
You help me to carry my heavy load
Oh I say, Natotela! (Thank you!)
For Ba Kaziya, my wonderful father!
Oh I say, Natotela! (Thank you!)
For Christen Chileshe, my loving mother!
God bless you today, tomorrow, and forever
My family strong, we are staying together
Ayy, yoh!
They built a home full of laughter and peace
Where blessings of God will never decrease
Through the Copperbelt wind and the valley so deep
The promises of God you taught me to keep
No boza inside, only truth in your heart
You loved us so much right from the start
Mayo, Tata, you did it so well
Your goodness is more than my tongue can tell
Oh I say, Natotela!
For Ba Kaziya, my wonderful father!
Oh I say, Natotela!
For Christen Chileshe, my loving mother!
God bless you today, tomorrow, and forever
My family strong, we are staying together
Ba Kaziya na Christen Chileshe
May God bless your days, amen
Natotela sana mukwai, yoh!
