Ba Chimbaya Mumba, BANA Chimbaya Abetwa
Ba Chanshi Mwewa, natotela
Twelve children raised in difficult times
But you were strong, you never gave up
Farming ku Kanchinchi, working hard every day
Ba Mumba, Ba Mwewa, you showed us the way
Your hands were calloused but your heart was pure
You gave us everything, you made sure we endured
Now your son Frederick, Bashi B dey here
Telling the whole world, I'm grateful, I'm clear
Muleza ba mukwai, bless my mother and father
Muleza ba mukwai, their work will never scatter
Elijah, Eliza, Elija, Mwansa, Chilufya strong
Mwale, Chola, Mwila, Edward—to you all I belong
Bless them Lord, bless them all
My family standing tall
Ba Mumba first, you resting now in peace
Lwiza my lovely sister, you'll never cease
Always in my heart, missing you every day
But I know you're watching from a better place, yah
Muleza, give my siblings strength and grace
Elijah leading strong, Eliza's smiling face
Every one of them carries your legacy true
Bashi B say thank you, I honor you
Muleza ba mukwai, bless my mother and father
Muleza ba mukwai, their work will never scatter
Elijah, Eliza, Elija, Mwansa, Chilufya strong
Mwale, Chola, Mwila, Edward—to you all I belong
Bless them Lord, bless them all
My family standing tall
Ku Kanchinchi, on that farm
You kept us safe from all harm
Twelve children, twelve blessings you gave
Muleza, let your favor save
Bashi B grateful, natotela
Ba Chimbaya Mumba, Lwiza, rest well neh
Muleza, muleza, bless them all
Muleza, muleza, bless them all
