(Ayy, yoh)
Everything sweet when the spirit is right
We gathering here, everything shining bright
Mwaiseni to the rhythm of the land
Walking down the path where the ancestors tread
With a heart full of joy and a life to be led
Ndiminwa today, yeah, the air feels so clean
Living in the moment, living out the dream
Oh, we sing for the blessing, we sing for the light
Tempulilwa rhythm, holding us tight
From the Copperbelt shine to the southern breeze
We dance to the tune with such natural ease
Nshima on the table, family standing near
No room for the trouble, no room for the fear
Boza is forgotten, only truth in the song
Where we belong, yeah, we standing strong
Oh, we sing for the blessing, we sing for the light
Tempulilwa rhythm, holding us tight
From the Copperbelt shine to the southern breeze
We dance to the tune with such natural ease
Can you feel the pulse? (Ayy!)
Can you hear the drums? (Yoh!)
Natotela for the life, for the peace that comes
We lift it up higher, let the harmony flow
Oh, we sing for the blessing, we sing for the light
Tempulilwa rhythm, holding us tight
From the Copperbelt shine to the southern breeze
We dance to the tune with such natural ease
Yeah, it’s a beautiful day (Ayy)
Keep the spirit moving, keep the spirit high
Tempulilwa forever, under Zambian sky
(Yoh, natotela!)
