(Upbeat syncopated guitar melody)
(Bright brass section swells)
Oh, yeah
Gather 'round, listen close
Today we celebrate a special one
Yes, Bufwayo Mwaba, this is for you
Let the music play.
There is a special light glowing in the air
A feeling of pure joy that we all can share
Bufwayo Mwaba, you stand so tall and proud
Rising like a star above the moving crowd
We count the blessings that you bring to us today
Chasing all the clouds of yesterday away
Oh, Bufwayo Mwaba, raise your glass up high
Beneath the open blue of this radiant sky
We celebrate your name with a song so sweet
Moving to the sound of this Rumba beat
Joy is in our hearts, happiness is here
Let the music echo, loud and crystal clear
Bufwayo Mwaba, shine forever bright
Everything is golden, everything is right
Life is like a river flowing to the sea
Bringing us the moments that are meant to be
Bufwayo Mwaba, you are the upcoming priest and prophet of the family.
Turning every shadow and pain into something bright
Everything we do is feeling so upright
With a guitar playing in the soul
Reaching for the stars and taking full control
Oh, Bufwayo Mwaba, raise your glass up high
Beneath the open blue of this radiant sky
We celebrate your name with a song so sweet
Moving to the sound of this Rumba beat
Joy is in our hearts, happiness is here
Let the music echo, loud and crystal clear
Bufwayo Mwaba, shine forever bright
Everything is golden, everything is right
Can you feel the rhythm, can you feel the heat?
Dancing to the Rumba, feel the drumbeat sweet
No looking backward, only looking ahead, forgetting your past pains
Walking on the path where the light is spread
Oh, Bufwayo Mwaba, raise your glass up high
Beneath the open blue of this radiant sky
We celebrate your name with a song so sweet
Moving to the sound of this Rumba beat
Joy is in our hearts, happiness is here
Let the music echo, loud and crystal clear
Bufwayo Mwaba, shine forever bright
Everything is golden, everything is right
Shine bright, Bufwayo
Yeah, celebrate the day
The Rumba keeps on playing
For you, for us, for everyone
Yeah, pure joy, pure light, pure love
Bufwayo Mwaba. From your big brother Victor Mwaba Aka. Mr Fox
