Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh na-na, yimikani, Afrika yalumbwe!
Amalibu, twalubana!
Sweefin itutwele, bonse tukwe,
Munkwa wa mayo, umwenso mwikute!

[Verse 1]
Kufuma kumushi mpaka ku musumba,
Twaleta amalibu, umulandu ulubilo.
Ubushiku twalufula, imilango yatu,
Ukupoka iminyimbo, ilyo takuli.
Oh, kufuma ku Accra ku Nairobi ilyo,
Sweefin ikaleta ukulanda.
Njikate, tukwate panshi,
Ukupanga ubuteko mu chalo chonse.

[Chorus]
Oh-oh, amalibu yamu mayo,
Twaleta umwenso, abantu bamilile.
Ukufuma mukupoka, twalipula impanga,
Ukulondolola bonse.
Oh-oh, yimikani, nukwenda, mu mikono yenu,
Ilungwe yaku Afrika, ulwele.
Sweefin embo, umutima wakweo,
Amalibu, umulandu ulubilo.

[Verse 2]
Takuli muntu aleshala, takuli mwambo,
Chalo chonse chikaleka, chikaleka.
Amalibu yatu, imilango ilyo,
Ubusuma busuma, twalipanga.
Oh mama, sekele, umwana alapya,
Sweefin imbuto, twaleta ukufuma.
Amalibu, oh, umwela ulusungu,
Umutima wa busuma ubusuma bonse!

[Bridge]
Umwenso ukutemwa, oh, ulwele,
Kufuma ku Cape Town mpaka ku Nile.
Amalibu ku mulu, ku nganda yonse,
Umwenso wa mukunku, ilyo munda.
Amapinda, ilyo umutima ulwe,
Sweefin imfumu, ili bwino.
Ubushiku na kutemwa mu chalo chonse,
Pamo, tukula, tulubana.

[Chorus]
Oh-oh, amalibu yamu mayo,
Twaleta umwenso, abantu bamilile.
Ukufuma mukupoka, twalipula impanga,
Ukulondolola bonse.
Oh-oh, yimikani, nukwenda, mu mikono yenu,
Ilungwe yaku Afrika, ulwele.
Sweefin embo, umutima wakweo,
Amalibu, umulandu ulubilo.

[Outro]
Oh yeah, amalibu atulika,
Ku bantu bonse, umwenso ukutemwa.
Afrika ikula, oh ilyo bwino,
Pamo, twafuma, tukulubana.
Na-na, na-na, yimikani,
Amalibu alumbwe.
Munkwa wa mayo, Sweefin ilyo,
Mailo yalumbwa lelo!
