Ayy,
yoh!)
Gather
round,
let
us
speak
of
the
legend
From
the
Congo
plains
to
the
Zambian
land
The
wisdom
of
the
ages,
the
heart
of
the
Balonga
Chief
Mujimanzovu,
we
honor
you
tonight
Led
the
Kaonde
people
through
the
wilderness
of
old
Crossing
the
border
with
a
story
to
be
told
By
the
Luba
capital,
the
palace
stands
so
tall
A
beacon
of
the
unity,
you
answered
to
the
call
The
Bayeke
warriors,
they
bowed
before
your
grace
For
the
ivory
you
offered,
to
save
the
human
race
Peace
was
the
mission,
the
tusks
were
the
sign
A
legacy
of
honor,
truly
divine
Oh,
Senior
Chief
Mujimanzovu,
the
pride
of
the
North
Generous
and
kind,
bringing
greatness
forth
You
grow
the
ivory,
you
grow
the
love
so
wide
Father
of
the
clans,
with
wisdom
as
your
guide
Oh,
Mujimanzovu,
you
paved
the
modern
way
We
celebrate
your
spirit
on
this
special
day
Most
loving
leader,
the
mirror
of
the
light
Protecting
every
soul,
shining
in
the
night
From
the
Copperbelt
borders
to
the
hearts
of
all
the
youth
You
speak
with
the
kindness,
you
walk
within
the
truth
Not
just
a
ruler,
but
a
father
to
us
all
You
keep
us
standing
steady,
you
never
let
us
fall
Northwestern
rising,
because
you
led
the
line
Your
heart
is
the
treasure,
a
gift
that
will
shine (
Ayy!)
Through
the
struggles,
you
kept
the
peace (
Yoh!)
Your
generosity,
may
it
never
cease
From
the
Msiri
kingdom
to
the
soil
we
tread
We
follow
the
wisdom,
the
words
you
have
said
Oh,
Senior
Chief
Mujimanzovu,
the
pride
of
the
North
Generous
and
kind,
bringing
greatness
forth
You
grow
the
ivory,

your
guide
Oh,
Mujimanzovu,
you
paved
the
modern
way
We
celebrate
your
spirit
on
this
special
day (
Natotela,
Chief)
You
are
the
unifier,
the
mighty
one
Peace
was
the
mission,

were
the
