Lyrics

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

Oh na-na, vuka lusuku,  
Uzizwe uthando, ukukhanya kukhulu.  
Lilanga lisha, izulu libanzi,  
Unephupho lakhe, uzohamba phezulu.

Oh na-na, zwa umsindo,  
Izinkulungwane zenhliziyo zishaya manje.  
Ngokukhanya kweSweefin,  
Uyaqhubeka nelanga elisha.

**[Verse 1]**

Mama wathi, "Yazi inani lakho,  
Unamandla okukhipha ushintsho emhlabeni."  
Kusuka ezimpandeni ezilula kuya kumaphupho angaziwa,  
Unenhliziyo yegolide.

Ngezandla ezelapha nezandla ezakha,  
Amaphupho ayizinkulungwane ayafezekiswa.  
Uhlanyela imbewu, uyikhulisa,  
Futhi ukhanyisa indlela kwabangaphansi.

Kusuka emzaneni kuya ezibani zedolobha,  
Uguqula amaphupho abe ngamazinga amasha.  
Amandla ezizwe, ithemba esilibonayo,  
Uyakha ikusasa elizayo.

**[Pre-Chorus — Building Energy]**

Mvumeleni aphuphe, mvumeleni akhanye,  
Yonke intaba angayikhuphuka.  
Mnike amaphiko, mvumeleni andize,  
Buka evula wonke umnyango.

Lapho ephakama, nathi siyaphakama,  
Akekho umkhawulo kulokho esingakwenza.  
Sibambene ngezandla, sibambene,  
Zizwe amandla evuka!

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

Oh-oh-oh, mvumeleni aphakame!  
Bona umlilo ezimpandeni zakhe.  
Oh-oh-oh, mvumeleni akhanye!  
Ikusasa lakhe liqala namhlanje ebusuku.

Hey-ya, hey-ya, zwa umkhuleko wakhe,  
Lapho ephakama, sonke siyaphakama!  
Oh-oh-oh, mvumeleni ahole,  
Uyikusasa esilidingayo!

Phakama, phakama, mvumeleni aphakame,  
Njengokusa ezulwini.  
NgeSweefin, amaphupho angaphila,  
Lapho abesifazane bephumelela, sonke siyaphumelela!

**[Verse 2]**

Watshelwa ukuba alinde isikhathi sakhe,  
Manje unomhlaba okufanele awuthole.  
Kusuka eminyango evaliwe kuya ezulwini elikhululekile,  
Bona isibindi emehlweni akhe.

Uyisakhi, uyisikhokhelo,  
Ngamandla othando ngaphakathi.  
Wonke amabhizinisi, wonke umkhakha,  
Wonke amathuba awenzile.

Angahola, angakha,  
Akhe ikusasa, ashintshe isimo sakhe.  
Kusuka ezimakethe kuya emhlabeni,  
Mvumeleni amaphupho amakhulu avele.

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

Mvumeleni aphuphe, mvumeleni akhanye,  
Yonke intaba angayikhuphuka.  
Mnike amaphiko, mvumeleni andize,  
Buka evula wonke umnyango.

Lapho ephakama, nathi siyaphakama,  
Akekho umkhawulo kulokho esingakwenza.  
Sibambene ngezandla, sibambene,  
Zizwe amandla evuka!

**[Chorus — Full Afro-House Energy]**

Oh-oh-oh, mvumeleni aphakame!

Ikusasa lakhe liqala namhlanje ebusuku.

Hey-ya, hey-ya, zwa umkhuleko wakhe,

Lapho abesifazane bephumelela, sonke siyaphumelela!

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

Kumama onephupho,  
Kwentombazane engakaboni  
Zonke izimangaliso angaba yizo,  
Wonke umnyango azowuvula ngokukhululeka.

Kubantu besifazane abaphambi,  
Abagcina bekholelwa ukuthi kukhona okwengeziwe,  
Wonke umkhondo, wonke umnikelo,

**[Verse]**

Siza iphupho liphumelele.

Akuzwakale livi lakhe lamuhla,

Simunye singenta lokukhulu.
