Lyrics - Bembe
(Zambian folk song)
Bonse aba, mu pokelela, Ba lipele maka akuba bana. (repeat)
Kuba bana, kuba bana, kuba bana bakwa lesa. (repeat)
Muya ya ya, muya ya ya, muya ya ya, bakwa lesa. (repeat)
English Translation – All people
All people who accept his authority are his children. (repeat)
Are children in the power of God. (repeat)
