(Verse 1 – lead vocal, rumba bassline)
Ifitala amusuku imiti muma hospital ala provide
No more empty shelves, no more turning sick ones away
Mundubile brings healing, night and day
Every clinic, every ward, every life gets a chance to stay
Freedom of speech kubantu alabwesha
You can talk, you can sing, you can stand, you can question
No fear, no silence, no hidden oppression
That's the change – that's the lesson
---
(Pre-chorus – spoken/chanted)
Boma ni makebi? No!
Boma ni mundubile? Yes!
Tiyeni vitele… tiyeni vitele…
---
(Chorus – repeat with claps)
Lead: Boma ni mundubileee o boma ni mundubileee
Response: Boma ni mundubileee!

Response: Mundubile!

(Verse 2 – rumba guitar solo interlude, then vocals)
We tired of promises that fly away like smoke
Mundubile's word is stone – not a joke
Hospitals with medicine, schools where children learn
And every citizen's voice gets its turn
If you want roads, if you want peace
If you want a leader who will never cease
To fight for you, to wake up and build
Then vote Mundubile – that's the shield
---
(Bridge – call and response, slower, building)
Lead: What do we want?
Response: Mundubile!
Lead: When do we want it?
Response: Vote day!
Lead: Boma ni makebi?
Response: No way!
Lead: Boma ni mundubile?
Response: Hooray!
---
(Chorus – full energy, drums and horns)
Boma ni mundubileee o boma ni mundubileee
Tiyeni tivotele mundubile
Boma ni makebi – tiyeni tivotele mundubile
---
(Outro – fading, chant style)
Mundubile… Mundubile…
Boma ni mundubile…
Tiyeni vitele… tiyeni vitele…
Vote… peace… medicine… voice…
(spoken) Boma ni mundubile. Tiyeni tivotele.

Would you like me to add:
· A rumba guitar tab for the main riff?
· Shona/Bemba translations for specific lines?
· A campaign slogan call to insert before the outro?
