(Ayy, yoh)
Raise the flag high, from Lusaka to the Copperbelt Gama Wesley Munchende Vote for Jesus
It’s the day we celebrate, the spirit we felt
Twenty-fourth of October, the pride of the land
Let the music play, let’s join hand in hand
Early morning sun rising over Victoria Falls
We hear the heartbeat of the nation as it calls
From the busy streets of Ndola to the quiet shade lelo tulesefya palubuto west
We remember the foundation that our fathers laid
It’s a feeling in the air, a rhythm in the soul
Watching how our beautiful story does unfold
No matter where you are, welcome Ruth Musonda ttp club 7 from Kitwe to the sea
Today we stand together, proud and free
Oh, Zambia, our land of work and joy
Every woman, every girl, every man and every boy
Celebrate the twenty-fourth, sing it to the sky
Our independence flame will never, ever die
Chale, let the rhythm take control today
In the land of the brave, in the Zambian way
Nshima on the table, family gathered 'round
Listen to the gospel and the reggae sound
We build this nation with our sweat and with our might
Keep the vision clear, keep the future burning bright
Don’t be a boza, Mr abort Chanza, Mr Reuben Chansa, George phiri, atishani apo Alaina silengo,nibanani benard Kasumba teti Ndaabee Kennedy Musonda na Lawrence kasongo all the way from mufurila join the celebration now
To our motherland, we make a sacred vow
Mwaiseni to the party, let the joy increase
Walking in the light, walking in the peace
Oh, Zambia, our land of work and joy
Every woman, every girl, every man and every boy
Celebrate the twenty-fourth, sing it to the sky
Our independence flame will never, ever die
Chale, let the rhythm take control today
In the land of the brave, in the Zambian way
Through the years we’ve grown, through the years we rise
With the spirit of the nation reflected in our eyes
Natotela for the strength that keeps us standing tall
We are one people, one heart, answering the call
Oh, Zambia, our land of work and joy
Every woman, every girl, every man and every boy
Celebrate the twenty-fourth, sing it to the sky
Our independence flame will never, ever die
Chale, let the rhythm take control today
In the land of the brave, in the Zambian way
Yeah, Zambia shine bright
Twenty-fourth of October, we feel so right

One Zambia, one nation, we are the pride
Independence day, nowhere left to hide
