Sun go down, moon arise,

Feet on earth, fire in eyes,

No water can cool this flame,

I keep walking, call my name.

Bana nyonso, telema,

Zamba loba na ngai,

Dust beneath my feet,

Thunder in my chest,

Every wound I carry

Only makes me want the best.

Molimo na ngai, pesa nguya,

Motema na ngai, telema,

Zamba nyonso eyoki mongongo,

When the night is cold,

When the road is long,

I hear the ancient rhythm,

And it tells me to be strong.
