Grandchildren and great-grandchildren
Your children, Zambian children
Ifibusa, mukwififya
Pano pa Zambia, Africa balila mutule
Ubuntungwa nshaliko but mwalimpa freedom
Nasanga mwalikanya kushitila pa window
Nasanga mwalipepeka abachushishe ichi chalo
Nasanga mwali leta na pamo bonse ubutundu
One Zambia, one nation
Forever pamozi na mutima umozi
Live long KK
57 years gone na misozi
Fwe baume bamabwe takwaba AK
Mwandwilile ubuntungwa kwati ni movie
Teti ndaute, you were heavenly sent
You came you did your part now I lose you
Chabipa mwatusha
Chabipa mwaya
Kuchalo chamaluba
Ukwabula ukulaya
Umupashi wenu ulale muchibote
Umupashi wenu ulale muchibote
Mwasha abeshikulu nabeshikulu babeshikulu benu
Abati tusha Lesa akupale wemu veteran
Umupashi wenu ulale muchibote (muchibote)
Umweo wenu utushe muchibote
Tachayanguka ukulusa hero kwati mwebo
Nobody can fill up the space you've left, ipita mpepo
And Zambia needs some time to work through her sorrow
Pain too deep ukuchila borehole
Mwali nga ama roots
The nation was more like a tree
Had to stand and sing of Zambia
Now I'm proud and free
Misozi kugwa monga ndi mwana wama siye
I look upon the sky njebele you're safe now
One Zambia, one nation
Forever pamozi na mutima umozi
Rest in peace KK
57 years gone na misozi
Fwe baume bamabwe takwaba AK
Mwandwilile ubuntungwa kwati ni movie
Teti ndaute, you were heavenly sent
You came you did your part
Now I've lost you
Chabipa mwatusha
Chabipa mwaya
Kuchalo chamaluba
Ukwabula ukulaya
Umupashi wenu ulale muchibote
Umupashi wenu ulale muchibote
Mwasha abeshikulu nabeshikulu babeshikulu benu
Abati tusha Lesa akupale wemu veteran
Umupashi wenu ulale muchibote
Umweo wenu utushe muchibote
Chabipa mwatusha
Chabipa mwaya
Kuchalo chamaluba
Ukwabula ukulaya
Umupashi wenu ulale muchibote
Umupashi wenu ulale muchibote
Mwasha abeshikulu nabeshikulu babeshikulu benu
Abati tusha Lesa akupale wemu veteran
