(Ayy, yoh!)
Listen closely to the sound of the soil
Zambian vibes only
Salome, are you ready for this one?
(Uu hambete!)
Oh Salome, I see you standing there
Don't let the troubles weigh you down today
Lekani kusuzgika mwabanthu, leave the stress behind
Life is moving, and the rhythm is refined
Tell me, for this mission, who are we putting there?
We need a leader who can show us how to care
Oh Salome, tell them he is coming back home
Bawelelepo, back on the chair, back on the throne
Yes, the father is returning to the seat of power
Bawelelepo pamu pando, it is his golden hour
Salome, tell them the return is finally here
Bawelelepo pamu pando, let’s make it clear
We don't want no trouble, we don't want no bad vibes
In this land of ours, where the spirit survives
We are not treating him badly, no, not at all
We are waiting for the moment he answers the call
Kuno kukapilisanga wadi, the heat is rising up
Fill the cup with joy, yeah, drink from the cup
Oh Salome, tell them he is coming back home
Bawelelepo, back on the chair, back on the throne
Yes, the father is returning to the seat of power
Bawelelepo pamu pando, it is his golden hour
Salome, tell them the return is finally here
Bawelelepo pamu pando, let’s make it clear
Whatever the work, whatever the task
We see the change, we don't even have to ask
(Hu! Hambete!)
Keep dancing, keep moving, the future is bright
From Lusaka to the Copperbelt, shining in the light
Salome, keep the fire burning
Bawelelepo, yeah, he is returning
(Ayy, yoh!)
Back on the throne, back on the pando
(Bawelelepo!)
It is done, it is sealed.
