[Bemba] Spark of Hope

Lyrics

[Verse 1]  
Umulanga wa chibumba, utemwa mu cimo,  
Ku mitima isha lila, twalilwa pa chimo.  
Ine na iwe, tukalumba, tukakungulula,  
Umulimo wa fya bwino, na Swifin twalishinsha.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Twalibala umulimo, ubushiku bwakutali,  
Pamwe tukamona, fya bupuba, fya nsala.  
Ikatana kuli abena, ufulu mu ng’anda,  
Swifin aliko, tulepanga umulimo wanshita.  

[Chorus]  
Tukakumbwa pamodzi, umulimo uletwa,  
Tulefwaya ifyakulya, twalipanga.  
Tulefwaya abengi, na bwangu mu mitima,  
Twalipanga pa fya bwino, twalishinsha.  
Na Swifin, twaya mu isi ilyo shikulu,  
Ishina lyabene, nansha na iwe.  

[Verse 2]  
Ku muluwa akashinka, ku mu baba eyanguka,  
Ku mwana uyo asanga, amaka a mu mulu.  
Ku mipanga na mizinga, ku bupanga na bwalya,  
Swifin akalanga umulimo, na fya fya kuli.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
Ubushiku bulembwa, tukalunga pa mulomo,  
Pamwe twalibala ifya bupuba, na bwenzi bwakwe.  
Ishina lya chibumba, na shani isha mwaume,  
Swifin ni chalo, uko twalibanga.  

[Chorus]  
Tukakumbwa pamodzi, umulimo uletwa,  
Tulefwaya ifyakulya, twalipanga.  
Tulefwaya abengi, na bwangu mu mitima,  
Twalipanga pa fya bwino, twalishinsha.  
Na Swifin, twaya mu isi ilyo shikulu,  
Ishina lyabene, nansha na iwe.  

[Bridge]  
Twalishiba iishina, na maoko twalibala,  
Umulimi, umufyashi, ishi chalo chashimapula.  
Umutima wa mami, umulimo wa baba,  
Chalo chimo, ifya fya bupuba.  

[Chorus]  
Tukakumbwa pamodzi, umulimo uletwa,  
Tulefwaya ifyakulya, twalipanga.  
Tulefwaya abengi, na bwangu mu mitima,  
Twalipanga pa fya bwino, twalishinsha.  

[Outro]  
Swifin ni mutima, umulimo wa fya shita,  
Umu chalo chashimika, tukakumbwa.  
Ku kutila mu bupuba, let us sing this song—  
Pamodzi twaya mu chalo, ifyabukaya.
