(Ayy, yoh) it's chanidah's birthday
Today we dance and drink to celebrate the birthday of chanidah
It’s a celebration, yeah
From the district of senanga to the world
We turning up today, let’s go!
Twenty-first of July, nineteen ninety-two
The sun was shining bright, yeah the sky was blue
A star was born in the heart of the land
Life began to move, like it’s in my hand
I walked through the years, chasing all my dreams
Flowing like the Zambezi, or so it seems
People gathered round, they saw the glow in me
Living my truth, yeah I’m wild and free
Oh, born on 21 July, watch the spirit rise 1992 rhythm, lighting up the skies
Birthday celebration, feel the energy flow
I’m the one you know, everywhere I go
Yes, born in July, watch the spirit rise
1992 rhythm, lighting up the skies
Look at the path that I made for myself
Better than gold, yeah, better than wealth
I’m grateful for the journey, grateful for the grace
Every single challenge, I’m running my race
God thank you for the life, for the ones I love
Watching me shine from the stars up above
Chanidah to the world, can you hear the sound?
My birthday anthem, we stomping on the ground
Oh, born 21 July, watch the spirit rise
1992 rhythm, lighting up the skies
Birthday celebration, feel the energy flow
I’m the one you know, chanidah phiri everywhere I go
Yes, born on 21 July, watch the spirit rise
1992 rhythm, lighting up the skies
God bless the day I was born, I’m keeping it real
Whatever I’m chasing, I’m ready to feel
Raise your glass up high, let the music play
It’s my special time, it’s my special day
Birthday celebration, feel the energy flow
