LONG LIVE IFIKOLWE FYA CHITMBA
(Reggae Birthday Tribute)
Intro
Yeah man, Mulenga Chikwamo sings tonight,
Celebrating life, celebrating love.
For Ba Selita Chikwamo,
For Damsel Malinga Chikwamo,
The queens of the family tree.
Long live our Mwefikolwe!
Verse 1
From Ku Chitimba the roots of the family in Chinsali, strong and wise,
You guided the children beneath Zambia's skies.
Through every season, through joy and pain,
You stood like mountains through sunshine and rain.
Your laughter brought comfort, your words brought light,
You taught us to stand and to do what is right.
The love that you planted continues to grow,
A blessing upon us wherever we go.
Chorus
Long live Mwe fikolwe Fyesu, long live the queens,
The finest women that this family has seen.
Ba Selita Banakulu Kili, Ba Damsel Bankulu Kasonde, shining so bright,
May Jah bless your days and your future with light.
Long live our matriarchs, strong and true,
Today we celebrate and give thanks to you.
Inshiku Umuyaya, mothers of grace,
May joy and prosperity fill every place.
Verse 2
Mulenga Chikwamo sings with pride today,
For Ifikolwe who helped to show the way.
With courage and wisdom you carried the flame,
Building a legacy, honoring the name.
Abeshikulu bonse remember, the family knows,
The strength of a woman is how a nation grows.
Your kindness and guidance have stood the test,
Among all God's blessings, you are among the best.
Chorus
Long live Mwe fikolwe Fyesu, long live the queens,
The finest women that this family has seen.
Ba Selita Banakulu Kili, Ba Damsel Bankulu Kasonde, shining so bright,
May Jah bless your days and your future with light.
Long live our matriarchs, strong and true,
Today we celebrate and give thanks to you.
Inshiku Umuyaya, mothers of grace,
May joy and prosperity fill every place.
Bridge
Raise up your glasses, let the music play,
We're celebrating life on this special day.
Health and happiness, year after year,
Surrounded by loved ones who hold you dear.
May your days be many, your burdens be few,
And the blessings of heaven continue on through.
The roots are deep and the branches grow tall,
Because of your love that nurtured us all.
Final Chorus
Long live Mwe fikolwe Fyesu, long live the queens,
The finest women that this family has seen.
