Yeah, oh, birthday celebration
Mmm, yeah, it’s all for you
The room is glowing, lights are dancing high
We’re gathered here to see the fire in your eyes
The braai is smoking, spirits rising up so sweet
We’re dancing circles, moving to the rhythmic beat
Mama Mdluli, you’re the grace within the room
Chasing away the shadows and the winter gloom
Happy birthday Promise, yeah we celebrate your soul
You make us feel complete, you make the broken whole
Oh, Bathabile, the world is singing out your name
In every heart and spirit, you’re the brightest flame
Yeah, baby, happy birthday to my queen today
The Emmanuel Church is roaring like a lion’s pride
With all our joy and laughter flowing like a tide
The bundles of love are shouting out for you, Mama
No drama here, just love and sweet aroma
I’m looking at you, seeing everything I need
A strength of character, a beautiful soul indeed
Happy birthday Promise, yeah we celebrate your soul
You make us feel complete, you make the broken whole
Oh, Bathabile, the world is singing out your name
In every heart and spirit, you’re the brightest flame
Yeah, baby, happy birthday to my queen today
From the morning light until the stars begin to shine
I’m so lucky, baby, that I get to call you mine
Through the ups and downs, you’re standing tall and true
I need you here, I’m celebrating you
So let the music play, let the celebration grow
We love you more than you could ever truly know
To my wife, my life, the rhythm in my chest
Today we celebrate, you’re simply the very best
Come here, let’s toast to years of joy to come
Yeah, we’re never stopping, till the rising of the sun
Happy birthday Promise, yeah we celebrate your soul
You make us feel complete, you make the broken whole
Oh, Bathabile, the world is singing out your name
In every heart and spirit, you’re the brightest flame
Yeah, baby, happy birthday to my queen today
Happy birthday Promise, mmm
Bathabile, you’re the one
Yeah, celebrate your day
Oh, happy birthday, my love
