(Ayy, yoh!)
Today we celebrate, we celebrate
Nandi Chimpinde, our little star
Natotela, let’s go!
The sun is shining bright in the Copperbelt sky
My beautiful daughter, watch your spirit fly
From the moment you came, you brought us such light
A gift from above, shining so bright
Today is the day, we dance and we cheer
Because you have grown through another fine year
Happy birthday to you, Nandi Chimpinde
Our pride and our joy, in every single way
Dance for the music, let the log drum play
It’s your celebration, have the best day
Nandi, you’re special, we shout it out loud
In this life, you make us so very proud
Look at her smile, she’s the queen of the floor
With every step, she is asking for more
No wahala today, only blessings we share
With Nandi our treasure, beyond all compare
From Lusaka to Kitwe, the news has gone round
A birthday queen in the city is found
Happy birthday to you, Nandi Chimpinde
Our pride and our joy, in every single way
Dance for the music, let the log drum play
It’s your celebration, have the best day
Nandi, you’re special, we shout it out loud
In this life, you make us so very proud
Mwaiseni to the party, come join in the fun
For Nandi our Nandi, the favorite one
Keep rising up high, yeah you’re destined to shine
We bless your new year, your path is divine
Happy birthday to you, Nandi Chimpinde
Our pride and our joy, in every single way
Dance for the music, let the log drum play
It’s your celebration, have the best day
Nandi, you’re special, we shout it out loud
In this life, you make us so very proud
