(Ayy, yoh!)
Mary Kang'ombe, namitasha mukwai
Uyu ni wenu, uyu ni wandi
Lelo tulefyele!
Mary Kang'ombe, iwe uli wanga
Natotela kuli Lesa pa kumpa iwe
Ukufuma bwaice, ifintu fyalicinja
Washala wampama, nshakuleke nakalya
Ukutasha kwandi takupwila
Pakunsumina ukuba umulume obe
Uli nkama yandi, uli mutima wandi
Ifwe bonse tubili, tuleya pantanshi
Mary Kang'ombe, uli mulume wandi
Natotela pa kufyalila abana baume babili
Abana balilenga ing'anda ukuba iyawama
Mary, uli wamaka, uli wacindama
Natotela, natotela, natotela
Mary Kang'ombe, uli wamaka
Ulenakila nokulasapota,
Pakuti tubombeshe, tuleya pantanshi
Ifyo ufwaya, ifyo ucita
Naficindika, nayumfwa bwino
Takwaba imbi, niwe fye wa cine
Mu buumi bwandi, uli nshila ya lubu
Twalyakana ifingi, nomba tulekosha
Abana benu, abana besu, tulebakusha
Mary Kang'ombe, uli mulume wandi
Natotela pa kufyalila abana baume babili
Abana balilenga ing'anda ukuba iyawama
Mary, uli wamaka, uli wacindama
Natotela, natotela, natotela
Mary Kang'ombe, uli wamaka
(Yoh!)
Ifintu fwalicinja, ubumi bwalilenga
Napo ifwe tuli, tuleya mukubombesha
Uli mutima, uli nkosa
Ntakwaba umbi uwakusana nawe
Mary, Mary, Mary!
Mary Kang'ombe, uli mulume wandi
Natotela pa kufyalila abana baume babili
Abana balilenga ing'anda ukuba iyawama
Mary, uli wamaka, uli wacindama
Natotela, natotela, natotela
Mary Kang'ombe, uli wamaka
Natotela mukwai
Mary Kang'ombe, iwe ni wanga
Abana baume, tuleya pantanshi
(Ayy!)
Natotela, natotela
Niwe wacindama!
