# JUBILAYA *O Jubi Kei!* **[INTRO — Handclaps, Playful Marimba, Female Vocal]** Hey! Hey! Oh-ya-ya! Pē na tā? Iti ba! Jubi-jubi-laya! Tāna māna! *(Bass drops)* **[CHORUS — Explosive Afro-House Hook]** Jubi-jubi-laya! Tāna ki te ra e mā! Jubi-jubi-laya! Whakakore āhuatanga wā! Hoko mau, tētahi, Wehi tō tinana ki te pai! Jubi-jubi-laya! Tāna māna, kāore e pā! Oh-eh-oh! Oh-eh-oh! Whakawhakarite ngā rōto! Jubi-jubi-laya! Tāna ki te ra e mā! **[VERSE 1 — Bouncy Afrobeats, Bright Highlife Guitar]** I ngā pōuri, he ātaahua, I tēnei wā, kotahi te ao. I ngā reo, i te mauī, I tēnei wā, he pātea kāno. I ngā mauī, he ngāwari, Kātahi ka hanga te whārangi. I ngā moemoeā i kāore i whakarere, I tēnei wā, ka hiki te ara. Tēnā ringaringa, awhina, Kāore he ngākau kāore ka haria. Ka kaweā mai tāua, Ka pānui rātou ki te rārangi. I te rahi e kōrerohia, Ka taurihia, ka tipu. I te hunga, he tīkiti, He nui ngā mea ka taea e tātou. **[PRE-CHORUS — Rising Harmonies]** Pēnei i te rākau i ngā pokohiwi, Pēnei i te rā i ngā waewae! Kia haere ki te tangata, He wāhi mōu i tēnei oro. Kāore te tangata e tango i te tango tāne, Haere mai ki te rārangi kei konei. He pātea iti ka haere tahi, Ka pana i te moemoeā ki te ao! **[CHORUS — Full Amapiano Log-Drum Drop]** Jubi-jubi-laya! Tāna ki te ra e mā! Jubi-jubi-laya! Whakakore āhuatanga wā! Hoko mau, tētahi, Wehi tō tinana ki te pai! Jubi-jubi-laya! Tāna māna, kāore e pā! Oh-eh-oh! Oh-eh-oh! Whakawhakarite ngā rōto! Jubi-jubi-laya! Tāna ki te ra e mā! **[POST-CHORUS — Signature Dance Chant]** Pā! Pā! Hape! Hape! Tāpaea ki te rōma! Huri! Huri! Hey! Hey! Kau atu i te koa i tenei rā! Jubi! Jubi! Laya! Laya! Tāna māna, ka whakanui! **[VERSE 2 — Female Lead, Warm Guitar, Rolling Bass]** Mama e hīkoi ana i te mākete, Mahi tika ki te whakaū i tana moemoeā. Papa e rapu ana i ngā wā poto, Hei pātea i te ao i waenganui. He tamaiti e kite ana i te rā, Hei wāhi ki te ako me te oma. He kaipāmu e whakato ana i ngā mea, Ka tipu mai i tērā rā. Mai i te kainga ki te tāone, Mai i te awa ki te moana, Tāngata katoa e kawe ana i ngā kōrero, Ko ia kāore he mea e ngaro. A, i te hunga e hokohoko ana, I te wā e ako ana, e kōrero ana, Ka taea e tātou te hanga i ngā ara, Ki te whakanui i ngā tūmanako katoa. **[PRE-CHORUS — Choir Builds]** Pēnei i te rākau i ngā pokohiwi, Pēnei i te rā i ngā waewae! Kia haere ki te tangata, He wāhi mōu i tēnei oro. Kāore te tangata e tango i te tango tāne, Haere mai ki te rārangi kei konei. He pātea iti ka haere tahi, Ka pana i te moemoeā ki te ao! **[CHORUS — Festival Dance Drop]** Jubi-jubi-laya! Tāna ki te ra e mā! Jubi-jubi-laya! Whakakore āhuatanga wā! Hoko mau, tētahi, Wehi tō tinana ki te pai! Jubi-jubi-laya! Na wey, no go late! Oh-eh-oh! Oh-eh-oh! Make the good vibes play! Jubi-jubi-laya! Dance like say brighter day! **[BRIDGE — Piano, Children's Choir, Gentle Handclaps]** To the mama wey get vision, To the papa standing tall, To the dreamer wey dey hustle, Get place for one and all. To the farmer and the builder, To the pikin wey get shine, Make the door dey open wider, Make new chances align. We fit talk plenty languages, We fit dance in many ways, But one smile fit cross ocean, And one song fit brighten days. *(Music fades to handclaps)* **[DANCE BREAK — Call-and-Response]** Lead: Who bring the rhythm? Crowd: Na we! Na we! Lead: Who bring the joy? Crowd: Na we! Na we! Lead: Who's invited? Crowd: Everybody! Lead: Wetin we go do? Crowd: Move your body! *(Percussion builds)* Jubi! Jubi! Laya! Laya! Step to the left! Step to the right! Clap two times! Turn around! Pass that joy! Pass that joy! *(Full bass drop)* JUBILAYA! **[FINAL CHORUS — Massive Choir, Brass, Full Percussion]** Jubi-jubi-laya! Dance like say brighter day! Jubi-jubi-laya! Move your worries out the way! Left foot, right foot, Make your body celebrate! Jubi-jubi-laya! Na wey, no go late! Oh-eh-oh! Oh-eh-oh! Make the good vibes play! Jubi-jubi-laya! Dance like say brighter day! **[OUTRO — Highlife Guitar, Choir, Fading Percussion]** From the farmer to the dreamer, From the maker to the child, We fit make the circle bigger, We fit make the welcome wide. Sweefin dey bring us ways to connect, To create, exchange, and grow. Jubi! Jubi! Laya! Laya! Pass the joy along!
