# LUMBALELE *Leta Inkumbu pa Chalo Chonse* [INTRO — INSTANT AFRICAN PERCUSSION, PLAYFUL FEMALE VOCAL] *(Three handclaps. A bouncing bassline answers.)* Hey! Nani akakupela ati ilanga tafikashimika? Nani akakupela ati maloto yako yakulu? Pulikeni! Mulya umutima mwamene Pali umulomo waba! Oh-oh-oh! Eh-ya-ya! Bonse mwakonzeka? LUMBALELE! [CHORUS — EXPLOSIVE AFRO-HOUSE / AMAPIANO DROP] Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! Umweo waba mumpanga! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Chalo chonse chiteke! Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! Njila shikulu shakulanda! Injila mu cilanga! Umweo wenu wakule! LUMBALELE! Icupo caba bwino! [VERSE 1 — BOUNCY AFROBEATS, HIGHLIFE GUITAR] Pa cilo cisa, mulilo ukanikile, Nalimo mulilo umwaice. Mumtima ubeleka chitemwa Chikata umutima wa chishinka. Pali fyalo ifyo fyali kuti, Tukakapange umulalo. Pali njila iyali yamba, Pali njila iyabisha. Pali ilyashi lya kuti ulwite, Pali umunwe wa kulomba. Pali maloto ayaishiba, Pali ilyashi lya kuti uleke. Umuntu onse ali ne cilengo, Umweo onse uliko amafunde. Ubulasa bwa mupepi buya luma, Icupo caba bwino. [PRE-CHORUS — RISING FEMALE HARMONIES] Umutima wa mulembo, Pulika mu kuli. Mumtima wa mailo Pali mulembo wa kwishiba. Injila mu cilanga, Umweo wenu wakule. Pali chalo cha maano Chalindilila umulandu wa mailo! [CHORUS — FULL AMAPIANO LOG-DRUM DROP] Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! Umweo waba mumpanga! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Chalo chonse chiteke! Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! Njila shikulu shakulanda! Injila mu cilanga! Umweo wenu wakule! LUMBALELE! Icupo caba bwino! [POST-CHORUS — VIRAL DANCE CHANT] Lum! Lum! Kwesha kumaliwa! Ba! Ba! Kwesha kumatanta! Le! Le! Mikono mu mpanga! LUMBALELE! Umweo wenu upale! Oh-eh-oh! Oh-eh-ah! Bonse! Apa tulipo! [VERSE 2 — SOULFUL FEMALE LEAD, ROLLING BASS] Pali mayo ne cilengo, Pali tata ne cilengo. Pali mwana uyo alolela Chalo cha maano. Pali musampo ne mbuto, Pali musale ne cilengo. Pali mwana umwense Uyo alenga ikale. Kufuma ku mushi ku mu town, Kufuma ku mpanga ku mu nsefu, Umuntu onse ali ne cilengo, Umweo onse uliko amafunde. Sweefin ikakombweka bantu na maano, Ikakombweka bantu na cilengo. Pali njila shikulu shakulanda, Maloto yalanda bwino. [PRE-CHORUS — CHOIR BUILDS] Umutima wa mulembo, Pulika mu kuli. Mumtima wa mailo Pali mulembo wa kwishiba. Injila mu cilanga, Umweo wenu wakule. Pali chalo cha maano Chalindilila umulandu wa mailo! [CHORUS — FESTIVAL DANCE DROP] Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! Umweo waba mumpanga! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Chalo chonse chiteke! Lumba-lele! Lumba-lele! Njila shikulu shakulanda! Injila mu cilanga! Umweo wenu wakule! LUMBALELE! Icupo caba bwino! [BRIDGE — EMOTIONAL PIANO, CHILDREN'S CHOIR] Nomba uletwa fye, Nomba uleshako bwino, Nimwena umulimo wama, Nimwena ifyo twakutemwa. Nomba uleshako umutima, Nomba umulimo ulefwaya, Nimwena umutima wakusanga Mu malumbo ya ifyo. Uli kupitilila na nshita, Uli kupitilila na ifyo. Kuli ifyo fya shikulu, Kuli ifyo fya bwino. Na chalo chonse chikalilapo, Nimwena ifyo twalipanga. Tuli abashamo abashila, Twalibombela mwi ibumba. [BREAKDOWN — MUSIC FADES TO ONE HEARTBEAT] *(Soft female voice)* Uli fye ifyo uleshako. Uli fye ifyo uleshako. Uli chalo chashikulu. Na ifyo fyo uleshako. *(A second heartbeat.)* Nomba shingilile… Nomba na shingilile… Na let the chalo chonse ukalile! [DANCE BREAK — CALL AND RESPONSE] Lead: Ulishi ifyo? Crowd: YES, TULI! Lead: Ulishi ifya shikulu? Crowd: YES, TULI! Lead: Twalipanga fye? Crowd: YES, TULI! Lead: Nomba nomba lekeni ipeko! [THE LUMBALELE STEP — PERCUSSION BUILDS] Lum! Lum! Tulefwaya ukushita! Ba! Ba! Tulefwaya ukushita! Le! Le! Mikono pamo! LUMBALELE!
