[Bemba] Higher

Lyrics

[Verse]  
🎵 Oh oh oh oh, eh eh!  
Tukesa kuno!  
Sweefin family, mwalishiba?  
Tulekula, kula, kula!

[Verse 1]  
Nalefwaya mu mulilo, nalifilwa ukuteya umutulo,  
Kanshi ulusuba lwenu lwacindika, bwesha ubushiku bwandi.  
Umoyo wandi ni ngoma, amenso ni melodi,  
Nomba na Sweefin twalafuma, twalalanda ifya kuimba.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Takwaba ifyo batwakwata,  
Twingile mu mpanga, tapali ukotola.  
Mu mapya twalashitisha,  
Ichi chili chesu, umwanya uwesu.

[Chorus (Hook)]  
Sweefin kula, kula, tapali ukutontonkanya,  
Inshita iliko, iliko, twalekula.  
Mitima yabili, twalapela umutende,  
Sweefin kula, kula — iwe nelyo ine.

[Chant / Call & Response]  
🎵 (Leader) Sweefin kula!  
(Crowd) Kula!  
(Leader) Inshita iliko!  
(Crowd) Iliko!  
(Leader) Inga amaboko!  
(Crowd) Kula!  
Pamodzi twalafuma, pamodzi twalapepa!

[Verse 2]  
Amalonda yonse yali na nkani, amenso yonse yali na umulandu,  
Nomba ububifi bwatupanga, tatwakatikishe, twali pakatikati.  
Kuwa mu nsaka kuya ku mulu, amashiwi yonse yali kuimba,  
Sweefin mu mutima, umutende ni anthem twaleta.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Takwaba ifyo batwakwata,  
Twingile mu mpanga, tapali ukotola.  
Mu mapya twalashitisha,  
Ichi chili chesu, umwanya uwesu.

[Chorus (Hook)]  
Sweefin kula, kula, tapali ukutontonkanya,  
Inshita iliko, iliko, twalekula.  
Mitima yabili, twalapela umutende,  
Sweefin kula, kula — iwe nelyo ine.

[Bridge / Breakdown]  
Inga amaboko, kalasambe,  
Sweefin ileeta umwenso.  
Umoyo onse ni wakusanga,  
Wamuyayaya, wamuyayaya.  
🎵 (Chant) Oh oh oh, Sweefin oh!  
Eh eh eh, tukesa kuno!  
Oh oh oh, Sweefin oh!  
Iliko, iliko, mu mitima shesu!

[Chorus (Hook) ×2 with variations]  
Sweefin kula, kula, tapali ukutontonkanya,  
Inshita iliko, iliko, twalekula.  
Mitima yabili, twalapela umutende,  
Sweefin kula, kula — iwe nelyo ine.🎵 Tulekula (kula!)  
Tulekula (kula!)  
Tulecita (cita!)  
Sweefin muyayaya (muyayaya!)  
🎵 Sweefin kula, kula — (oh oh oh!)  
Sweefin kula, kula — (eh eh eh!)  
Inshita iliko, iliko — (oh oh oh!)  
Sweefin kula, kula — iwe nelyo ine!🎵 Sweefin… kula, kula, kula…  
Tulekula, kula, kula…  
Muyayaya ukulanda, muyayaya ukucita…  
Sweefin kula, iwe nelyo ine.
