Mama you are my song
Kulindiswe notulamapenzi
Mama live forever, your heart of motherhood
You breastfeed the world, a fountain of life
Kasensa kalwizi, a saver when we needed saving
Your love runs deep, deeper than the rivers
Eish, you raised me up with steady hands
Taught me the way, showed me the light
Mama, you are my song
Baama muli lwiimbo lwangu
Your strength is my strength
Your grace is my grace
Mama, you are my song
Forever and always, yebo
One day your son Munu will bear fruits so sweet
Mr Mamila, the real patelo mweenye and Bina chimuka.
Under your instructions, under your direction
I became who I am today, sharp sharp
Kamupona lyoonse, my heart sings your praises
Myoyo yabuzyali, the spirit of our mothers
Mubuumi bweenu, in your wisdom we stand
Nkaambo munyonsya, banji baama
Baama, you are my song
Baama muli lwiimbo lwangu
Your strength is my strength
Your grace is my grace
Baama, you are my song
Forever and always
Baama, you are my song
Kulinzomudicitila, always and forever
