(Ayy, yoh) ninebo Silent Echo!
Life is heavy, burden on the soul
Everywhere I turn, it's just a losing game
Mwaiseni to the struggle, my brothers
Take your sits tulandeko pama some of the bozaz
Abavota ebacula ne insala
Abavotelwa bena ilekala
Ama suit nganabaikaka
A common Zambia muma chanks politician kumukaka
Bamupangila ama rules ngalandapo kumuukaakaa! Ahhh
I put my heart on the table, just to get it crushed again
Cold treatment from the ladies, now I'm hiding from the pain
Relationships feel like a cage, I'm locking up the door
I don't wanna play this game, I don't wanna cry no more
Across the street, a sister's weeping, tears falling on the ground
He left her with the baby, now she's lost and can't be found
The burden is too heavy, she's standing all alone
While he's out there running, far away from home
Ala ulaakula weshamo
Guy ulya ilyapyamo
Tebukisha ati kwali uwo ashile nefumo
Amafya gelo apitamo yakalipa ukucila nempumo
Kuti wafilwa nkulanda ifintu fimo
Ama, Ama, Ama, Chali, Chali
Everything is falling, tell me why we feeling lonely
From the broken love to the hungry in the street
When will we find a little peace, when will we find a seat?
Ama, Ama, Ama, Chali, Chali
It's a heavy season, Lord, have mercy on the needy namo muma church umu bafwaya indalama
Ngataupela ninshi teti bakwafwe kujama
Ati lesa atemwa kapela wansansa
But ngatwa lomba help tabatupa nangu chisansa
Inside the temple walls, the message sound so hollow now
They talking 'bout the tithe, but they never show us how
To love the ones who suffer, salvation for a price?
Is heaven just a market? Are we paying for the dice?
And the citizen is shouting, prices rising to the sky
One meal a day is all we got, watch the children start to cry
Politicians in their mansions, only care about their bread
While the youth are losing focus, with the hunger in their head
Mumutwe mwaisula ubulanda
Te nkama fyafula ifyakutukanda
We have no jobs that's tumoneka ngashilu mumiganda
Lesa tupusheko kuli ububulanda
Pantu people ain't kind nabazanda
Ama, Ama, Ama, Chali, Chali
Everything is falling, tell me why we feeling lonely
From the broken love to the hungry in the street
When will we find a little peace, when will we find a seat?
Ama, Ama, Ama, Chali, Chali
It's a heavy season, Lord, have mercy on the needy
Education lost its glitter, paper don't mean a thing
Searching for a job, but all we hear is silence ring
We need a hand to lift us, we need a heart to care
Before we lose our spirits in the middle of despair
Ama, Ama, Ama, Chali, Chali
Everything is falling, tell me why we feeling lonely
From the broken love to the hungry in the street
When will we find a little peace, when will we find a seat?
Chali... so much pain in the land
(Yoh) Lord, help us carry this load
Just a little bit of love, is that too much to ask?
Natotela for the struggle.
(Ayy... stay strong)
