(Ayy! Ayy!)
Today we celebrate a queen
Neneh Kamara, you know the vibe
Eleven years of shining so bright
Let’s go!
Sunlight dancing on the street today
Everything special in a brand new way
Neneh is the name, eleven on the cake
Giving us the magic, making no mistake
From the morning breeze to the evening star
We celebrate exactly who you are
Young and gifted, running with the best
Neneh, you are truly, truly blessed
Oh, Neneh, Neneh, it’s your special day
Eleven years, hip-hip-hooray!
Kamara family dancing in the light
Everything is joyful, everything is right
Oh, Neneh, Neneh, keep on shining true
We celebrating all the good in you
Yeah, we celebrating you!
Eleven candles burning nice and tall
You’re the biggest legend, standing ten feet small
(Ayy!)
Schooling all the boys and girls around
With a smile that turns the world around
Every single step you take is gold
A story of a champion being told
We shouting loud across the Freetown sky
Neneh Kamara, watch you fly so high
Oh, Neneh, Neneh, it’s your special day
Eleven years, hip-hip-hooray!
Kamara family dancing in the light
Everything is joyful, everything is right
Oh, Neneh, Neneh, keep on shining true
We celebrating all the good in you
Yeah, we celebrating you!
(Kushe! Kushe!)
Eleven years of grace, eleven years of love
Blessings coming down from the stars above
Step it up, pikin, time to catch the vibe
This is the glory of the whole tribe
Oh, Neneh, Neneh, it’s your special day
Eleven years, hip-hip-hooray!
Kamara family dancing in the light
Everything is joyful, everything is right
Oh, Neneh, Neneh, keep on shining true
We celebrating all the good in you
Yeah, we celebrating you!
Neneh Kamara, you the baddest!
Eleven years strong!
Keep that energy, girl
Ayy! It’s your day!
(Celebrate! Celebrate!)
Yeah, we out!
