[Verse]  
🎵 Oh oh oh oh, eh eh!  
Re a phahama!  
Sweefin famile, ni a itela?  
Ndi ni re phahama, phahama, phahama!

[Verse 1]  
Ndi walka na mulilo, nda vhona u khou fhela,  
Fhedzi vhuṱungu haṋu hu tshi bvela, huna u khou tenda.  
Ndi vhuṱungu ha mbilu, miri yanga i tshi tamba,  
Ndi na Sweefin re a phahama, tshiṅwe na tshiṅwe re a tamba.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Hafhu maṱo a sa tea,  
Re khou ya lufuno, a re khou ṱhanya.  
Kha matshakha re a tshipha,  
Iyi ndi tshifhinga, iyi ndi tshifhinga.

[Chorus (Hook)]  
Sweefin phahama, phahama, a re khou vhona,  
Mivhili i tshi khou fhela, fhela, i tshi khou phahama.  
Mivhili i tshi khou vhalwa, re a khou fhedza,  
Sweefin phahama, phahama — u na nna.

[Verse 2]  
Makhwama a vhe na nḓila, mikhwa ya vhe na ṱhoho,  
Ndi na u ṱhanya ha vhuṱungu, re a shandukisa, re a bvelela.  
Ku tshiṱuku kha muṱa, mivhili i thoma u tamba,

Sweefin phahama, phahama — u na nna.

[Bridge / Breakdown]  
Humbulani maoko, letshoni i vhuya,
