about

Translation:

Lungu ( a type bird )

My Lungu
This is what I warned you about
You went to the forbidden bush
And you got turned into a bird

Thank you mother for your stories
All the stories you told us
Your Lessons will not be forgotten
Everybody listen to this story

Fyoto fyoto… ( Bird singing )

lyrics

Original:

Lungu wanyi eh Lungu
Lungu bande lungu
Lungu mumva mwambapu lungu
Kulu bande lungu
Wata wapela Lungu
Kulu bande lungu
Kuya munkunyi lungu
Kulu bande lungu

Twa sakidila bwa myanu yeba mamu
Myanu yonso untu utu elela mamu
malongeshi yeba katwena kuyapwa moyi
Bena mantunga Unvwayi Myanu ya mamu

Lungu..

fyoto fyoto...
