Poem

MULALE MUMTENDELE 
The sun slept but 
failed to rise from October's bottom 
Darkness has covered 
Our motherland 
The bright light which 
Was leading our 
Way to the promised land 
Has faded out 

We will never hearken to 
The sky's plea with us 
To stop pinching her ears 
With thunderous wails 

Infa has driven spears into  
Our hearts
He has incarcerated
The bearer of our sorrows 
Behind the bars of Kumanda 
And it's only cold tears that 
Can calm the pain

Comrades, Let's 
Wallow to the baobab of time 
And take rest at her feet  
Let's invoke the name of Lesa 
To Install a new light 
To heal our wounded hearts 
Another bright light to 
Lead us on our journey 

Yea the wounds will heal 
But the scars will live on 
In our hearts 
A trait we'll pass to all 
Generations  to come ...

Sing with Zambia all of Africa 
The unending dirge:
Batata mulale muchibote!
mulale muchibote!
O mulale muchibote!
Batata ba Sata Mulale muchibote!
