*Verse 1 – 0:18*
Born by Lake Tanganyika, where the water meets the sky
Raised in village homes, Chibote and Muzabwera nearby
He walked our paths, he ate our _nshima_
He knows the struggle, he knows our dream-a
Five good years he served, in the Office of the Vice
He learned how to build, he learned what’s right
He came back home with no big pride
Just a heart to serve and lead with stride
*Pre-Chorus – 0:52*
He says to the youth: “Don’t lose hope”
To the mothers and fathers: “We will cope”
With wisdom and heart, we will rise
Mpulungu South, open your eyes

*CHORUS – 1:08 | BEMBA/MAMBWE – Main Hook*
_Ninshi teti musumininefye ati ubutungulushi temyaka ukufula_
_lelo mano na umutima_
_Mulekeni Umwaiche apite atulubule kumafya ayo tushingwana nayo_
_Ni Njenje Chizu wabengi!_
_Translation on flyers:_
_Can’t we agree that leadership is not about age, but wisdom and heart?_
_Let the young man go and help us with the problems we face_
_It’s Njenje Chizu, everyone’s own!_

*Verse 2 – 1:40*
From the harbour at dawn with the fishermen’s boats
To the market mothers counting their notes
From the school child with no new book
To the clinic waiting for a second look
He has seen it, he has felt it
And he says, “Together, we will settle it”
Not Lusaka talk, not empty sound
A son of Mpulungu, right here on the ground
*Pre-Chorus – 2:12*
He says to all homes: “Let’s build right”
Let’s bring new strength, let’s bring new light
Young but focused, calm but strong
Mpulungu South, it’s time to move on
---
*CHORUS – 2:28 | Repeat*
_Ninshi teti musumininefye ati ubutungulushi temyaka ukufula_
_lelo mano na umutima_
_Mulekeni Umwaiche apite atulubule kumafya ayo tushingwana nayo_
_Ni Njenje Chizu wabengi!_

*Bridge – Call & Response – 3:00*
Leader: _Umwaiche ni bani?_ Crowd: _Njenje!_
Leader: _Akaya kuli?_ Crowd: _Mpulungu!_
Leader: _Aletwishiba?_ Crowd: _Ee, eeh!_
Leader: _Tumupela cani?_ Crowd: _Tumusuminine!_
*Spoken Breakdown – 3:20 | Soft drums*
_Bakwesu, twalanda icebo cimo:_
_Leadership is heart. Leadership is service._
_Not fighting. Not division._
_Mpulungu South, let’s choose peace. Let’s choose progress._
_Njenje Chizu… for all of us._

*Final Chorus – 3:35 | Big Finish x2*
_Ninshi teti musumininefye ati ubutungulushi temyaka ukufula_
_lelo mano na umutima_
_Mulekeni Umwaiche apite atulubule kumafya ayo tushingwana nayo_
_Ni Njenje Chizu wabengi!_
*Outro – 3:55*
_Njenje Chizu, umwaiche wa bantu_
_Njenje Chizu, umutima wa Mpulungu South_
_Vote Hope. Vote Home. Vote Njenje!_
_Mpulungu ipale! Zambia ipale!_
