ASK NOT TO BE EXCUSED
ASK NOT TO BE EXCUSED
1. Iwe wilakana, eko ili ncito
'yo Lesa 'Iefwaya iwe kuyabomba;
Umfwa bwite bwakwe kuli 'we 'lekwita,
Cisumo kubomba, kubombelo mulu.
*CHORUS:
Iseni (seni) mwikana kubomba,
Iteya (teya) nisheni kubomba,
Mwikana kubomba mukomfwa 'katila,
Kukana kubomba, mwakana no mulu.*
2. Iwe wilakana Shikul' alekwita;
Walekana kale, Shi mumfwile lelo;
Mabala na yapya babomfi bacepa,
Sumina kubomba, Shi bombele Mfumu.
3. Mu kukane ncito no kucelwa celwa,
Mukano kutemwa kulya kwa ku mulu;
Ilyo luse lwakwe lulepapatila,
No kulango mulu, Isa 'sa welelwe.
