Lyrics

[Verse]
🎵 Oh oh oh oh, eh eh!
Tukina ku julu!
Sweefin familia, mu kwiza?
Tukina ku julu, julu, julu!

[Verse 1]
Ndeke kupita mu tondolo, kala ku jilo kafika,
Kano ku luzingu lwako, kala ku tondolo ku minga.
Kima kinzuna mu ntima, kima kela mu njila,
Nge Sweefin tukina, tukwata nzimbo yetu.

[Pre-Chorus]
Kadi a mu funga,
Tukina mu langa, kadi a mu volta.
Mu tumbi tukalunga,
Yetu mu kala, yetu mu kala.

[Chorus (Hook)]
Sweefin julu, julu, kadi mu langa,
Kizua ku tundu, tundu, tukina mu langa.
Mitima ku tunda, tukina ku langa,
Sweefin julu, julu — nge na nge.

[Chant / Call & Response]
🎵 (Leader) Sweefin julu!
(Crowd) Julu!
(Leader) Kizua ku tundu!
(Crowd) Tundu!
(Leader) Tula manzinga!
(Crowd) Julu!
Ketukina, ketukina!

[Verse 2]
Kima kiwanga ku mbunga, kima kiluiza ku njila,
Mu ku zunga tukwata, tukina kadi mu longa.
Ku musseke ku musseke, kima kela ku njimbo,
Sweefin mutima wetu, uvu ku kima kiya.

[Pre-Chorus]
Kadi a mu funga,
Tukina mu langa, kadi a mu volta.
Mu tumbi tukalunga,
Yetu mu kala, yetu mu kala.

[Chorus (Hook)]
Sweefin julu, julu, kadi mu langa,
Kizua ku tundu, tundu, tukina mu langa.
Mitima ku tunda, tukina ku langa,
Sweefin julu, julu — nge na nge.

[Bridge / Breakdown]
Tula manzinga, ketukina,
Sweefin ketukina.
Kima kiwanga ku luzingu,
Ku nge, ku nge.
🎵 (Chant) Oh oh oh, Sweefin oh!
Eh eh eh, julu tukina!
Oh oh oh, Sweefin oh!
Tundu, tundu, mu luzingu wetu!

[Chorus (Hook)
×2 with variations]
Sweefin julu, julu, kadi mu langa,
Kizua ku tundu, tundu, tukina mu langa.
Mitima ku tunda, tukina ku langa,
Sweefin julu, julu — nge na nge.🎵 Tukina julu (julu!)
Tukina ngola (ngola!)
Tukina luzingu (luzingu!)
Sweefin kadi (kadi!)
🎵 Sweefin julu, julu — (oh oh oh!)
Sweefin julu, julu — (eh eh eh!)
Kizua ku tundu — (oh oh oh!)
Sweefin julu, julu — nge na nge!🎵 Sweefin… julu, julu, julu…
Tukina julu, julu, julu…
Ketukina, ketukina…
Sweefin julu, nge na nge.
