A song made by William mwale
Happy Birthday Jemimah Mwale 🎉
Here’s a 3-minute song you can sing to her, mixing *Nyanja + English* so the whole family can join in. It’s warm, slow, and easy to sing with clapping.
*Title: _Jemimah Wanga, My Star*_
_Tempo: Gentle, like a birthday lullaby. About 3 minutes with repeats_

Jemimah wanga, mwana wanga woyamba
Ndiwe wanzeru, wodekha, wamanyazi
Tsiku lililonse ndiwe mnzanga wapafupi
Baba amakukonda, Mayo amakukondanso
**
Jemimah my daughter, my very first born
You’re intelligent, humble, my little shining light
You’re my daily companion, my heart’s delight
Dad will always love you, and Mom loves you too
**
Happy Birthday, Jemimah Mwale!
Tsiku lako la chisangalalo!
Grow tall, grow wise, be kind and be true
Mr. William Mwale, your Dad, is so proud of you
Mayo wako akukondanso, always and always
**
Mulungu akudalitse, mwana wanga wokondedwa
Phunzira, sekaseka, dzala m’moyo
Ndiwe chiyembekezo cha banja lathu
Dzina lako ndi nyenyezi pa nyumba yathu
**
God bless you, my beloved girl
Learn, laugh, bloom through every year
You’re the hope of our family here
Your name, Jemimah, is a star shining clear

To my very intelligent, humble little girl...
You make every day brighter just by being you.
From Dad — Mr. William Mwale — and from Mom:
We love you, Jemimah. We will always love you.

Make a song ∼3 minutes:*
Sing Verse 1 → Chorus → Verse 2 → Chorus → Bridge → Final Chorus x2, with clapping on the last chorus.
Want me to make a version that fits to a tune, like to the melody of "Happy Birthday" or a Zambian gospel style, so you can record it for her?
