Chiefs of Itezhi-Tezhi (Remix)
A song made by African Boy
Chiefs of Itezhi-Tezhi (Remix)
A song made by African Boy
(Aweh, African boy, let's go)
To the guardians of the land Muwezwa,Chikaza, Shezongo, Chilyabufu and Kaingu, yeah
Itezhi-Tezhi standing tall
From the morning sun rising on the plains
To the rhythm of the life within your veins
Ila people dancing, we keep the fire bright
You hold the torch, you guide us through the night
With wisdom in your words, you lead the way
Keeping our traditions strong every single day
Oh, we honor the shepherds of the soil
Rewarding every heart for all the heavy toil
Oh, the Chiefs of Itezhi-Tezhi, you shine so bright
Guiding all your people with the love and light
You are the keepers of the old, the protectors of the new
Blessed by the spirits, we put our trust in you
Yeah, you stand for the culture, you stand for the pride
With God as your compass, there's nowhere to hide
Chiefs of Itezhi-Tezhi spiritual leaders of the Land keep leading the thrones
(Sharp sharp)
Ancestors watching from the heavens high
Blessing every valley underneath the sky
Your hands are open, your hearts are wide
You keep the Ila spirit deep inside
No division here, just unity and grace
Bringing out the beauty in this sacred Kafue plains and yonder, all borders of this beautiful place
You are the shepherds, you are the calm
Offering the people your healing balm
(Yebo, listen)
Oh, the Chiefs of Itezhi-Tezhi, you stand in majesty
Guiding all your people with the love and light
You are the keepers of the old, the protectors of the new
Blessed by the spirits, we put our trust in you
Yeah, you stand for the culture, you stand for the pride
With God as your compass, there's nowhere to hide
Chiefs of Itezhi-Tezhi, keep leading the thrones in Basanga, Luubwe, Lubanda, Banamwaze, Makunku, Muunga,Nanzhila and Itumbi
Eish, the legacy is calling out your names
Muwezwa, Kaingu, Chikaza, Musungwa and Chilyabufu
Through the struggle, through the joy, through uncertainty
Ancestral whispers telling us you're chosen ones
Watching over daughters and the sons
Asambe, let the music take us home
So let the drums beat loud for the leadership you show
In Itezhi-Tezhi, watch the community grow
You’ve built a bridge between the past and what’s ahead
With every single word of wisdom that you’ve said
We rise as one, under the shade you provide
With nothing to fear and with nothing to hide
(Sho)
Oh, the Chiefs of Itezhi-Tezhi, you shine so bright
Guiding all your people with the love and light
You are the keepers of the old, the protectors of the new
Blessed by the spirits, we put our trust in you
Yeah, you stand for the culture, you stand for the pride
With God as your compass, there's nowhere to hide
Chiefs of Itezhi-Tezhi, keep leading the throne
Itezhi-Tezhi, stay strong
Leading the people where we all belong
Ancestors guide you, forever we pray
(Aweh, peace)
Chiefs of Itezhi-Tezhi, stay shining
Forever more.
