Lyrics

**[Intro — Warm Female Vocals, Gentle Afrobeat Rhythm]**

Oh na-na, suka na chaka,  
Umwenso wa mweo, uluse lwa mulu.  
Ililyashi lya munda, mulu wa mwela,  
Ala na maloto, alefwaya ukubutuka.

Oh na-na, umfweni,  
Mitima ilinga umulungu.  
Na Sweefin ilanga umulimo,  
Ali mukati lya mulilo wa mushi.

**[Verse 1]**

Mama anikambile, "Ishiba ubwingi bwobe,  
Uli na maka ya kusintha ici calo."  
Ifyo afuma mu fimo ifya waba,  
Ala na mutima wa musango wa bupe.

Na maboko ya kutandala na yakusansha,  
Maloto alinga umulungu ayafikilwe.  
Ala sakamuna imbalala, ala yandala,  
Ala langa umulimo wa balya bambi.

Kufuma ku musumba ku cilindi ca mutanda,  
Ala panga maloto mu mpanga.  
Umukonka wa calo, umutima wa tulolesha,  
Ala panga ifyo mailo ilakaba.

**[Pre-Chorus — Building Energy]**

Leeni alote, leeni acite,  
Kuli bwalo alinga alwila.  
Mupeni amaboko, leeni abutuke,  
Mumfweni icilanguka.

Alesuka, natwe tulefuka,  
Tapali icitina ico twacita.  
Na maboko, pa calo bonse,  
Umfweni amaka yali buko!

**[Chorus — Explosive, Joyful Dance Hook]**

Oh-oh-oh, leeni asuke!  
Mumfweni umulilo muli meso yakwe.  
Oh-oh-oh, leeni acite!  
Mailo yakwe ili pano.

Hey-ya, hey-ya, umfweni icilanguka,  
Alesuka, natwe twonse tulefuka!  
Oh-oh-oh, leeni atungile,  
Ni mailo iyo ilacita buko!

Suka, suka, leeni asuke,  
Nga umuseba mu mulungu.  
Na Sweefin, maloto yali buko,  
Abanakashi balapita, bonse tulepita!

**[Verse 2]**

Bamukambile, "Cita umulimo wako,"  
Nomba ali na calo ico alafwaya.  
Kufuma ku mulango ucikwete, ku mwela,  
Mumfweni umutima wa kucita.

Ali musanshi, ali mukonka,  
Na maka ya mweo yali mukati.  
Muli business, muli cilya,  
Icintu ico alacita.

Ala tungile, ala yandale,  
Panga mailo, cindike umulimo wakwe.  
Kufuma ku mwela ku calo,  
Leeni maloto yakwe yafikike.

**[Pre-Chorus — Layered Female Harmonies]**

Leeni alote, leeni acite,  
Kuli bwalo alinga alwila.  
Mupeni amaboko, leeni abutuke,  
Mumfweni icilanguka.

Alesuka, natwe tulefuka,  
Tapali icitina ico twacita.  
Na maboko, pa calo bonse,  
Umfweni amaka yali buko!

**[Chorus — Full Afro-House Energy]**

Oh-oh-oh, leeni asuke!  
Mumfweni umulilo muli meso yakwe.  
Oh-oh-oh, leeni acite!  
Mailo yakwe ili pano.

Hey-ya, hey-ya, umfweni icilanguka,  
Alesuka, natwe twonse tulefuka!  
Oh-oh-oh, leeni atungile,  
Ni mailo iyo ilacita buko!

Suka, suka, leeni asuke,  
Nga umuseba mu mulungu.  
Na Sweefin, maloto yali buko,  
Abanakashi balapita, bonse tulepita!

**[Bridge — Emotional, Then Rising Celebration]**

Ku mayo ali na maloto,  
Ku mwana uyo alikaba  
Ifyo alingile,  
Ifyo amulango alafungula.

Ku banamayo abaleisa,  
Abaleumfwila icakulya,  
Icikumbushe, icitilefye,

[Verse]  
Wapanga chikonko chipe,  
Leka imba iye lelo,  
Leka maloto yake yele,  
Kuchoka ku Africa, kufika konse,  
Pamodzi tingachite vinandi.

**[Outro — Warm, Joyful, Unforgettable]**

Oh na-na, awonekeko,  
Yang'anani maloto ake akula.  
Mwanakazi aliyense, mwana aliyense,  
Ali na mphamvu yosintha dziko.

Oh na-na, pamodzi,  
Sankhani mphamvu ndi ulemu wake.  
Na Sweefin, tsogolo liwalike,  
Nthawi yake, nthawi yake yakamuka.

Amuka… amuka…  
Leka maloto ake ayalike muchanya.  
Amuka… amuka…  
Akakamuka, tonse tikakamuka.
