Ayy, yoh!
My brother Mariano Banda!
Twenty years no be play-play, oga.
Natotela, my friend.
Let’s go!
We started from the bottom, from the dusty streets of Lusaka,
No money in our pockets, but we had a big dream together.
Through the rain and the fire, you never left my side,
Mariano, you are the brother that my mother didn’t write.
Muli shani, my brother, look at how far we have come,
From the struggles of yesterday, now we basking in the sun.
They say friendship of twenty years is just a big boza,
But ifwe, we show them say this love is forever closer.
No shaking, no falling, we stand like the heavy stone,
With you by my side, I know I will never walk alone.
Twenty years of friendship, and we still dey stand strong!
Mariano Banda, this is our celebration song!
God bless our hustle, God bless our long day,
We are counting another twenty years along the way!
Natotela, my brother, for the love and the grace,
We go dey together in every single time and place!
Twenty years and more, twenty years and more,
Blessings of the Lord, opening every single door!
Remember the days when we shared a single plate of nshima,
We had nothing but hope, looking forward to the picture.
When the world was so cold, you gave me a warm shoulder,
Our brotherhood gets stronger as we keep on getting older.
Some friends will come and go like the wind in the night,
But Mariano Banda, you are a shining pure light.
We cry together, we laugh together, we win together,
This is not just a season, this is a bond for forever.
Mayo! See how God has changed our story today,
He cleared the heavy obstacles out of our way.
Twenty years of friendship, and we still dey stand strong!
Mariano Banda, this is our celebration song!
God bless our hustle, God bless our long day,
We are counting another twenty years along the way!
Natotela, my brother, for the love and the grace,
We go dey together in every single time and place!
Twenty years and more, twenty years and more,
Blessings of the Lord, opening every single door!
Oh, my brother, hear my prayer tonight,
May the hand of Jehovah keep our future very bright.
No envy, no hatred can ever tear us apart,
Because the loyalty is written deep inside of our heart.
From Ndola to Kitwe, down to Victoria Falls,
We will conquer the giants, we will break down the walls.
Another twenty years, yes, we are ready for the ride,
With the grace of the Almighty walking right by our side.
Ayy! Yoh!
People are asking the secret of this beautiful bond,
It’s the trust and the patience that we carried beyond.
When I look at you, Mariano, I see a true champion,
A man of honor, a friend of high companion.
We never sell out, we never play the dirty game,
Through the trials and the joy, we remain the same.
So raise up your glass, let the copper shine bright,
We are celebrating a friendship that is pure and right.
No shaking, my brother, we are locked in for life!
Twenty years of friendship, and we still dey stand strong!
Mariano Banda, this is our celebration song!
God bless our hustle, God bless our long day,
We are counting another twenty years along the way!
Natotela, my brother, for the love and the grace,
We go dey together in every single time and place!
Twenty years and more, twenty years and more,
Blessings of the Lord, opening every single door!
Twenty years and more, Mariano!
On God, my brother.
We are going further, further, further.
Natotela mukwai.
Another twenty years and more.
Ayy! Yoh!
We out!
