(Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)
Ladies and gentlemen!
From the heart of Africa, a nation blessed by God!
Zambia, our motherland!
One nation, one heart, one people!
It’s your man, Mr. Luwi Jai White!
The voice of freedom, the voice of unity!
On the 24th of October, we celebrate our history!
Happy Independence, Zambia!
Happy Independence, Zambia!
Oh-oh-oh! Let the whole world know,
Mr. Luwi Jai White is running the show!
Happy Independence, Zambia!
We thank Almighty God, Zambia!
For our freedom, peace, and unity,
We celebrate our independence proudly!
There was a time when freedom was a dream,
When our fathers stood together as a team.
They carried the hope of a brighter day,
Believing our children would find their way.
They marched for the future, they fought for the land,
With a vision of strength in the palm of their hand.
From the Copperbelt mines to the Luangwa flow,
They planted the seeds that we see grow.
We salute every hero who stood in the fire,
Lifting the flag of our nation much higher.
No matter the tribe, no matter the place,
We run together in this beautiful race.
Happy Independence, Zambia!
Happy Independence, Zambia!

Look at the city, the lights are so bright,
We’re dancing till dawn in the morning light.
From Lusaka to Solwezi, the energy’s real,
Tell me, my brother, how do you feel?
We’re building a kingdom, we’re shaping our core,
Opening windows and locking the door
To hatred and division, we leave it behind,
Only progress and peace is what we find.
Zambian spirit, it shines like the sun,
Look at the work that our people have done.
We’re rising up now, can you feel the bass?
Confidence glowing all over the place!
One Zambia, One Nation, that is the call!
We rise up together, we never will fall!
From the east to the west, from the south to the north,
We’re marching ahead, yeah we’re going forth!
Celebrate the journey, celebrate the life,
Zambia is shining, ending all the strife!
Happy Independence, Zambia!

For our freedom, peace, and unity,
We celebrate our independence proudly!
From Ndola to Kitwe, the people are moving,
From Chingola to Mufulira, the drums are grooving!
Lusaka is dancing, the whole nation sings,
Zambia, our freedom is a beautiful thing!
From Livingstone’s wonder to the mighty Zambezi,
God blessed our land with beauty so amazing.
From the valleys and plains to the mountains so high,
Zambia’s a treasure beneath the African sky.
Copper in the ground, but our greatest wealth
Is the love of our people and the strength of our hearts.
Not the money we make, not the things that we own,
But a nation where together we can build a home.
To the farmers who plant and the miners underground,
To the teachers and nurses who keep hope around,
To the mothers who pray and the fathers who strive,
You are the reason our Zambia stays alive!
MR. LUWI JAI WHITE, singing with pride,
Zambia in my heart, let me carry you high!
From the young to the old, let our unity grow,
This is our motherland, let the whole world know!
Happy Independence, Zambia!
Happy Independence, Zambia!
Oh-oh-oh! Let the whole world know,

We thank Almighty God, Zambia!
For our freedom, peace, and unity,
We celebrate our independence proudly
Yeah, we celebrate!
From the heart of the nation!
Mr. Luwi Jai White, we keep it moving!
Zambia, forever free!
Keep dancing, keep shining!
One nation, one people!
Peace!
