(Aweh, let's go!)
Yeah, today is a day to shine
For my heartbeat, for my sunshine
(Yebo, listen!)
It’s a brand new dawn, the sun is shining down on you
My beautiful daughter, Zewelanji, see the sky is blue
You came into my life and made everything so bright
I thank the Lord above for keeping you in my sight
From your first smile to the woman you are today
I’m truly blessed, in every single way
(Sharp sharp!)
Happy birthday to you, my lovely Zewelanji
You are the rhythm in my soul, my heart is dancing
I cherish you forever, my pride and my delight
May God bless your years and keep you shining bright
Oh, Zewelanji, you are my everything
Yes, Zewelanji, let the whole world sing
I watch you grow and I’m filled with so much grace
There’s no one else like you, no one to take your place
I pray for your health, for your joy and your success
May your life be filled with nothing but happiness
Keep chasing your dreams, with your head held high
Under the golden sun, beneath the African sky
(Asambe!)
Happy birthday to you, my lovely Zewelanji
You are the rhythm in my soul, my heart is dancing
I cherish you forever, my pride and my delight
May God bless your years and keep you shining bright
Oh, Zewelanji, you are my everything
Yes, Zewelanji, let the whole world sing
Mum will always love you, sugar, you know that it's true
Every step you take, I’m standing right there with you
(Eish, look at you shining!)
Keep blooming like a flower in the morning dew
My sweet Zewelanji, this day belongs to you
So let the log drums beat, let the piano play
We celebrate your life in a special kind of way
More life, more blessings, more laughter and cheer
I’m grateful to have you throughout every single year
(Sho, my darling!)
Happy birthday to you, my lovely Zewelanji
You are the rhythm in my soul, my heart is dancing
I cherish you forever, my pride and my delight
May God bless your years and keep you shining bright
Oh, Zewelanji, you are my everything
Yes, Zewelanji, let the whole world sing
Zewelanji, my sweet Zewelanji
Yeah, mum loves you
Happy birthday, baby
(Aweh, keep shining!)
(Asambe!)
