(Gentle, melodic electric guitar picking)
(Soft rhythmic percussion enters)
Oh, my precious son
My joy, my heart
Listen closely now
Mwakoi, mwakoi, oh my son
Oh, my goodness, look at you today
Nakulata, my heart beats for you
Nakuloleka ahulu, watching you grow
Mwanaka wa mushimani, you are my light
Every single day I see your spirit rising high
Like the morning sun that warms the earth
You bring a gentle peace to this whole house
I cherish every moment that we share together
From the first step you took to the man you become
Oh, my son, my strength is found in you
Mwakoi, mwakoi, oh my son
Nataabela kukubonanga ahu seha
I love to see you laughing in the sun
Nataabeli luli, you are truly a blessing
Mwanaka umafula aka, my child, my own
I love you sonny, more than words can say
I love you sonny, you are my guiding star
Look into my eyes and feel the love I hold
It is deeper than the ocean, wider than the sky
When the world gets heavy and the clouds turn grey
You are the silver lining that shows me the way
I remember how you used to run around
With laughter echoing throughout the town
Now you stand so tall with grace and pride
I am always walking right there by your side
Whatever life may bring, whatever road you choose
You have the heart of a lion, you never lose
Mwakoi, mwakoi, oh my son
Nataabela kukubonanga ahu seha
I love to see you laughing in the sun
Natabeli luli, you are truly a blessing
Mwanaka umafula aka, my child, my own
I love you sonny, more than words can say
I love you sonny, you are my guiding star
Ok, utwa cwale wena
Listen to my heart as it beats for you
Every time I see your smile
My world is shining bright and new
Through the storm and through the rain
You wash away the doubt and pain
My son, you are the greatest song
In my life, where you belong
Mwakoi, mwakoi, oh my son
Natabela kukubonanga ahu seha
I love to see you laughing in the sun
Naabeli luli, you are truly a blessing
Mwanaka umafula aka, my child, my own
I love you sonny, more than words can say
I love you sonny, you are my guiding star
Mwakoi, mwakoi, my son
My joy, your elder brother is Brighton, your sisters - Beatrice,Nalishebo,wamm and Atanga
I love you sonny, always
Stay bright, stay true
