[Verse 1] (Based on Isaiah 55:1)
Iseni mwe bafwa icilaka bonse, iseni ku menshi
(Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters)
Na mwe bashakwata indalama, iseni, shiteni kabili lyeni!
(And you who have no money, come, buy and eat!)
Iseni, shiteni umwangashi ne mukaka
(Come, buy wine and milk)
Uwabula indalama, kabili uwabula umutengo...
(Without money and without cost...)
[Chorus] (Based on Matthew 11:28-30)

Iseni kuli ine, mwe bafunika bonse
(Come to me, all of you who are tired)
Mwe basenda ifisendo fyafina, na ine nkamupeala ukutusha
(You who carry heavy loads, and I will give you rest)

(Take my yoke, and agree to learn from me)

(Because I am gentle and humble in heart)
E lyo mukasanga ukutusha mu mitima yenu
(And then you will find rest in your souls)
E kutila, mukasanga ukutusha...
(That is to say, you will find rest...)

(The music swells slightly, bridging the two languages smoothly.)

A beautiful quiet at the end of the day
You don’t have to carry this mountain alone
Just lay down your worries, you're finally home
[Chorus]
(Full harmonies join here, blending English and Bemba together for a rich, powerful sound.)
Come to Me, all of you who are tired
From carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest
Sendeni ikoli lyandi... (Take my yoke...)
Because I am gentle and humble in spirit
And you will find rest for your soul
Mukasanga ukutusha mu mitima yenu... (You will find rest in your souls...)
[Bridge]
For the yoke I will give you is easy

No more hiding away in the shadows
No more fighting the dark of the night
The yoke is easy, the
