2 O Worship the king

1

Itoteleni

Mfumu nkalamba,

imbileni mwe;

luse na maka;

Ninkwela yakosa

Kuti tucingwe,

Kwi sano ekwaba

Ku mulu kwine.

2

Imbenya maka,

Cikuku pamo,

Busamo nkansu

‘Mulu lisano

Mwela na makumbi

Filengo fyakwe,

‘Cipupu ne mfifi

Nshila ya Mwine.

3

‘Calo na fyonse

Ifyo, tekweba,

Fyabumbwa kale

Nankwe ku maka

Na ifunde ili

Ailengele

Abike cambeshi

Cicilibishe.

4

Bupe bwamwine

Teti tusose

Nimulwelele,

Na mu kasuba;

Bwatula kumpili

Bwaya ku nika,

Bwamoneko bupe

Mume ne mfula.

5

‘Bena lukungu

Banaka, ni fwe,

Twacetekela,

Teti mubepe;

Ubupyo busuma

Ebo twapelwa,

Kabumba, kacinga,

Na kalubula.

6

Nimwe lubuto

Nimwe uluse,

Batulwa pamo

Bamwimbila pe.

Pamo nefwe bene

Mu nyimbo shesu

Ne ndimi sha cine

Twimbilyo mulu.
