Chale! Today is a special day
Let the trumpets blow, for it is time to celebrate
The sun is shining bright on the streets of Free town
We gather round to cheer for a legend, hurrah
Davar Fazaeli, the man with the golden heart
Sixty-three years, he’s been a work of art
From the morning light to the evening glow
He’s teaching us lessons that we need to know
Eii, see the way he walks with such grace
A smile that brightens up every single place
Oh Davar, Davar Fazaeli, sixty-three years today
We celebrate your life in a wonderful way
With the palm-wine guitar and the horn section beat
Davar, you make our lives feel so complete
Chale! Oyiwa! You are the king of the day
Let the music play, let the troubles fade away
Sixty-three years of hustle and true delight
You keep on shining, a star in the middle of the night
Wonim? You’ve seen it all, the ups and the down
You wear your experience like a royal crown
From the streets of the city to the warmth of home
You’re the best man that we have ever known
Ah ah! Keep pushing, keep dancing with pride
With all your family and friends by your side
Oh Davar, Davar Fazaeli, sixty-three years today
We celebrate your life in a wonderful way
With the palm-wine guitar and the horn section beat
Davar, you make our lives feel so complete
Chale! Oyiwa! You are the king of the day
Let the music play, let the troubles fade away
Sixty-three times around the sun
The celebration has only just begun
Chop life, because you’ve earned every bit
With your wisdom and your sharp, clever wit
Yoo! Let’s raise a glass to the man of the hour
Like a majestic kente, you have so much power
So keep the rhythm steady, let the congas talk
Watch how Davar Fazaeli takes his victory walk
Sixty-three candles on the cake tonight
Everything is beautiful, everything is right
We love you, we honor you, we shout your name
Sixty-three years, you’re never the same
Always growing, always blessing the crowd
We are singing your praises so very loud
Oh Davar, Davar Fazaeli, sixty-three years today
We celebrate your life in a wonderful way
With the palm-wine guitar and the horn section beat
Davar, you make our lives feel so complete
Chale! Oyiwa! You are the king of the day
Let the music play, let the troubles fade away
Oh Davar, Davar Fazaeli, keep on shining bright
Sixty-three years, what a beautiful sight
Chale, keep on dancing
Yoo, keep on winning
Happy birthday, Davar!
We celebrate you today!
Lady Ish...
