1. Lyaishile ubushiku,
Ilandwe lya kale,
Lyafumine kubangeli
Abasoso kuti:
"Mutende ube mu calo
Ufume ku mulu,
Bantunse babe tondolo,
Bomfwe abangeli."
2. Ku fyabipa ne fya bulwi
'Bantunse bacula,
Imyaka yapite ingi
Lya fyabipisha.
Abelelwa te ba kumfwa
Ulwimbo lwa luse;
Shitataleni mwe bantu,
Mumfwe abangeli.
3. Mwe bafininwa ku fibi,
Mwe basakamikwa,
Mwe baleenda bulendo
Lubomba lubomba.
Inukeni! nshita ipya
Yaiso lubilo;
Tusheni muno mu nshila
Mumfwe abangeli.
4. Moneni nshinku shaisa,
Ishalesoselwa
Na kasesema wa kale,
Inshiku shawama.
Elyo mutende ukesa
Fika konse konse;
Ne fyalo fyonse fikemba
'Lwimbo lwa bangeli.
