### *Intro - Crowd Chant*
*Anthu!* _People!_
*Tawuka!* _We have woken up!_
*Nkulukusa tawa Kaye, twakana!*
*We say NO to corruption!*
Nkulukusa tawa Kaye twakana.
Tawa Kaye twakana.
Tawa Kaye twakana.
Tawa Kaye twakana.
### *Verse 1 - Nyanja*
_Maboma akale, zatikwana_
_Njala yatipha, ntchito palibe_
_Ana sukulu, alibe mabuku_
_Ndalama za anthu, zikudyedwa_
_Koma lero, tawuka_
Translation: _Old governments, we are tired. Hunger has killed us, no jobs. Children in school have no books. People’s money is being eaten. But today, we have woken up._
### *Pre-Chorus - Bemba*
*Twakana ubufi* _We refuse lies_
*Twakana ubomba mwibala* _We refuse lazy leaders_
*Twafuna umulungami* _We want honesty_
*Twafuna abantu abalolela* _We want people with vision_
### *Chorus - Nyanja + Bemba + English*
*Nkulukusa tawa Kaye, twakana!*
_Corruption tayikana!_
*Vote for change, vote for us*
_Boma la anthu, ndi nthawi yathu_
*Nkulukusa tawa Kaye, twakana!*
_This time, it’s the people’s time!_
Translation: _We refuse corruption. This time. Corruption we refuse!_
### *Verse 2 - Bemba*
*Abanakashi, balitemwa* _Our mothers are suffering_
*Abashikulu, baya kwena* _Our elders are walking far_
*Imiseleni, ifwile* _The roads are finished_
*Ama hospital, muli line* _In hospitals, there are lines_
*Lelo tulesuminina* _Today we are deciding_
### *Bridge - Call & Response*

Crowd: *Ifwe!* _Us!_
Leader: *Nani alolela?* _Who has vision?_
Crowd: *Ifwe!*

All: *Nkulukusa tawa Kaye, twakana!*
### *Final Chorus - Big Finish*
*Nkulukusa tawa Kaye, twakana!*
_No more theft, no more lies_
*Vote wisely, vote for life*
_Boma la anthu, ndi la ife tonse_
