Nna, oya! It is a beautiful day
Chai, the celebration has arrived
Wake up early, the sun is shining bright
We put on our best clothes, we looking really tight
The table is set with the isi ewu and the rice
Everything here is feeling extra nice
Friends coming over, the house is filling fast
This is a memory that is surely gonna last
We popping the bottles, we dancing to the beat
The rhythm of the highlife is moving through my feet
It is your birthday, let the joy flow free
Raise your glass up, come and celebrate with me
Chop life today, let no sorrow take a hold
Your story is a treasure, more precious than the gold
Oya, let the music play, let the horns begin to blow
We are rocking till the morning, watching the spirit grow
Look at the people, they dancing in the yard
Even the elders are showing their trump card
With a palm wine glass and a smile upon their face
Running round the circle with a very steady pace
From Enugu to Lagos, the vibe is spreading wide
We carry the blessing and we carry it with pride
No wahala today, we put the stress aside
In this golden moment, we gonna abide
It is your birthday, let the joy flow free
Raise your glass up, come and celebrate with me
Chop life today, let no sorrow take a hold
Your story is a treasure, more precious than the gold
Oya, let the music play, let the horns begin to blow
We are rocking till the morning, watching the spirit grow
Omo, the rhythm is taking me high
Look at the stars hanging in the night sky
We are grateful for the life and the bread we share
Let the music take away every single care
Chai, the feeling is divine, it is hitting the spot
Give me that highlife sound, give me all that you got
Another year added, another chapter new
Everything is beautiful, everything is true
So keep on climbing, never looking at the floor
Your cup is overflowing, always wanting more
We toast to the hustle, we toast to the success
We are leaving behind every single distress
Just dance to the guitar, let it move your soul
Keep the fire burning, keep the rhythm in control
It is your birthday, let the joy flow free
Raise your glass up, come and celebrate with me
Chop life today, let no sorrow take a hold
Your story is a treasure, more precious than the gold
Oya, let the music play, let the horns begin to blow
We are rocking till the morning, watching the spirit grow
Chop life, oya!
Omalicha, celebration time!
We party till the dawn, no wahala at all
Yeah, it is your day, celebrate it all!
