Lyrics

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

Oh na-na, tuma bulelela,  
Mona bolingo, muudi wa dikanda.  
Tshilejilu tshiyangane,  
Aye na binji, alinga kuputa.

Oh na-na, yoka disu,  
Batshia miloni baleka mitema.  
Na Sweefin, muudi muye,  
Alonga mukolo wa tshilejilu.

**[Verse 1]**

Mama wamba, "Mona valure,  
Uleba nteyi wa kubongisa mukalenga."  
Ku tshikolo mu dikoma,  
Aye na mitema ya mulamba wa mbongo.

Na maboko wa kubelula,  
Bana batshia miloni baleka mikanda.  
Ateka matadi, akula mwa,  
Aye na muudi wa kupetula baye.

Ku ditalala mu mudi,  
Aye na binji, alinga tuvula.  
Nteyi wa bikalenga, bilumbu tshiyi,  
Aye na muudi wa tshilejilu.

**[Pre-Chorus — Building Energy]**

Leka binji, leka bulelela,  
Tshia tshikolo atshia kupeta.  
Pesa mapapu, leka kuputa,  
Mona baye na kuvula.

Tshia alonga, tulonga baye,  
Tshinganyi tshia tulonga.  
Na maboko, na mpata,  
Mona nteyi wa kutambula!

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

Oh-oh-oh, leka alonga!  
Mona muudi wa mu mesu.  
Oh-oh-oh, leka bulelela!  
Tshilejilu eya mutshima.

Hey-ya, hey-ya, yoka disu,  
Tshia alonga, tulonga baye!  
Oh-oh-oh, leka atunguna,  
Aye na tshilejilu tshia tulomba!

Alonga, alonga, leka alonga,  
Bulelela mwa muudi wa dikanda.  
Na Sweefin, binji bilenga,  
Tshia bayike, tulonga baye!

**[Verse 2]**

Aye wamba ku tunda,  
Kashia aye na mukalenga wa kubongisa.  
Mu dikanda ku muudi,  
Mona nteyi wa mu mesu.

Aye na kutunguna, aye na kupeleja,  
Na luse wa mu mitema.  
Baye na mikanda, baye na malunda,  
Baye na mikanda aye na bungama.

Aye na kutunguna, aye na kubongisa,  
Tshilejilu tshia mutshima.  
Ku ditalala mu mudi,  
Leka aye na binji bilenga.

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

Leka binji, leka bulelela,  
Tshia tshikolo atshia kupeta.  
Pesa mapapu, leka kuputa,  
Mona baye na kuvula.

Tshia alonga, tulonga baye,  
Tshinganyi tshia tulonga.  
Na maboko, na mpata,  
Mona nteyi wa kutambula!

**[Chorus — Full Afro-House Energy]**

Oh-oh-oh, leka alonga!  
Mona muudi wa mu mesu.  
Oh-oh-oh, leka bulelela!  
Tshilejilu eya mutshima.

Hey-ya, hey-ya, yoka disu,  
Tshia alonga, tulonga baye!  
Oh-oh-oh, leka atunguna,  
Aye na tshilejilu tshia tulomba!

Alonga, alonga, leka alonga,  
Bulelela mwa muudi wa dikanda.  
Na Sweefin, binji bilenga,  
Tshia bayike, tulonga baye!

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

Ku mama wa binji,  
Ku mwana wa ku yeba  
Tshia bilenga wa mu mesu,  
Baye na mikanda aye na kupetula.

Ku bayike wa mu katshia,  
Wa kutunguna baleka mikanda,  
Baye na bilenga, baye na mikanda,  
Tshia tshilejilu tshia tulomba!

[Verse]

Lelo asokola, tubika te.  
Kutu wa Afrika owa mboka,  
Tushikane, tubaka mukenji.
