No ũkĩhĩrĩria matarĩo mũno, Ũtangĩra na ũrĩa ũrĩna. Mama akĩuga, “Ũkaĩra ũrĩa ũgĩa, Mĩthĩto mĩnene nĩ ya kũhĩrĩra. Thikĩa gĩthaa ũkĩhĩka, Thiĩrĩra ũrĩa ũrĩna.” Ngemi imwe, matarĩo maingĩ, Mũthĩrĩri na ũkĩhĩrĩria. Ũrĩa ũrĩa ũkĩhĩrĩra, Mĩthĩto nĩ ya ũrĩa ũrĩna. Sweefin nĩ ũgĩa ũrĩa ũhũthĩra, Ũthĩrĩrĩria, gũthondeka, na gũthĩna.

Ũkĩhĩrĩria, ũkĩhĩrĩria, Mũthĩto nĩ ya ũrĩa ũrĩna. Ũkĩhĩrĩria ũrĩa ũgĩa, Ũhũthĩrĩria mĩthĩto yako! **[CHORUS — Amapiano Log-Drum ya Kũgĩra Mĩthĩto]** Stack-a, stack-a-laya! Nyũmba ũtukũrũ, ngai nĩ mwanya! Thikĩa gĩthaa! Thanya mwĩrĩrĩo! Nĩũgĩre ũrĩa wothe mũthenya ũyũ! Stack-a, stack-a-laya! Hey-ya-ya! Hey-ya-ya! Wĩra na wĩra, Mũthenya na mũthenya, Thĩnĩĩkĩra gĩthaa yako mũno! **[POST-CHORUS — Mũthĩto wa Njĩra ya Gũkũra]** Stack! Stack! Ũgĩra mũthĩto ũmwe! Wĩra! Wĩra! Ũkaĩra mwĩrĩrĩo! Gĩkũra! Gĩkũra!

Baba nĩ akĩhĩrĩria, Ũrĩa mbeca igũa. Mũthoma nĩ akĩhĩrĩria, Mũthĩri nĩ akĩhĩrĩria. Andũ othe nĩ mũgĩra, Ũrĩa wa kũhũthĩra mĩthĩto. Mũgĩhĩra gĩthaa ũrĩa ũgĩa, Mũgĩhĩra mĩthĩto ya mwanya. Mũgĩhĩra gĩthaa gwĩra, Ũmũthĩrĩria na gĩthaa. Matarĩo mĩnene na njĩra mũno, Ũrĩa wa ũhũthĩrĩria nĩ ũmwe. Ũhũthĩrĩria gĩthaa nĩ mũno, Na ũrĩa wa ũrĩa ũgĩa. **[PRE-CHORUS — Kūgĩra Njĩra]** Ũgaikĩra ũrĩa ũgĩa, Ũgaikĩra ũrĩa ũgĩa. Thiĩrĩra na ũkĩhĩrĩria Ũrĩa wa mũthĩto na ũrĩa wa kĩrĩra. Ũkĩhĩrĩria, ũkĩhĩrĩria, Mũthĩto nĩ ya ũrĩa ũrĩna. Ũkĩhĩrĩria ũrĩa ũgĩa, Ũhũthĩrĩria mĩthĩto yako! **[CHORUS — Mũthĩto wa Thĩnĩĩkĩra]** Stack-a, stack-a-laya! Nyũmba ũtukũrũ, ngai nĩ mwanya!

Wĩra na wĩra, Mũthenya na mũthenya, **[BRIDGE — Warm Piano, Children's Choir]** Gũtũma ũrĩa ũgaya nĩ gũtũma mũthenya ũcio, Wĩra ũrĩa ũrĩ mwĩrĩga nĩ gũtiga kũrĩa. Kũrĩa ũrĩa ũrĩ na kĩrĩa wĩarĩra, Mũthenya ũtũra nĩ ũrĩa wĩa. Njĩra ĩmwe tiyo ĩyo ya kũgũra, Gĩkeno kĩrĩa gĩtahũrĩka ti gĩkĩũrĩka. No tũrĩa tũrĩa tũhũrĩra hamwe, Mathaĩko maitu nĩ maũrĩa mũrĩa. *(Music fades to finger snaps)* **[DANCE BREAK — Call-and-Response]** Lead: Njĩra ya mbere nĩ ĩkĩ? Crowd: Tũgĩra wĩra!
