[Intro]
Aquiet breeze whispers in a distant tongue
[Verse 1]
Araple— a quiet ache, a silent run
Matauya in the heart, a river that’s just begun
Iqiwa nyinzu, the stars tell stories old
Kimwe nyebwesa, the courage grows bold
[Pre-Chorus]
Kusanyadilakwambala, hoping for light to stay
Bawa bakusasany, guiding me through the day
[Chorus]
Nabubala, paleyo leya, I rise where shadows fall
Nkyusanandala, echoing promises, standing tall
Mulembejinememulayiningeyajewola, find a path through the night
Katyolyeyonomambunonkudulila, toward a brighter light
[Verse 2]
Bunobuswazingasibubala, the valley learns my name
Demuyabala bwabigulangamuyongela, I push through the flame
Ntumyanandala, I carry a gentle flame
Inside the quiet, I’m more than the frame
[Pre-Chorus]
Sengandimunyonyindinawala, I breathe and I believe
Ndimbula n’isimba, I’m more than what you see
[Chorus]
Nabubala, paleyo leya, I rise where shadows fall
Nkyusanandala, echoing promises, standing tall
Mulembejinememulayiningeyajewola, find a path through the night
Katyolyeyonomambunonkudulila, toward a brighter light
[Bridge]
Nyobolamaya, a heartbeat in the drum of dawn
Ndetombulika, I hear the future calling on
[Chorus]
Nabubala, paleyo leya, I rise where shadows fall
Nkyusanandala, echoing promises, standing tall
Mulembejinememulayiningeyajewola, find a path through the night
Katyolyeyonomambunonkudulila, toward a brighter light
[Outro]
Araple, a quiet ache, but I am moving on
With every step I take, I’m finding where I belong
