Milele & Joseph Hellon – Tucheze Ngoma (Let’s play the drums) Lyrics

Tucheze ngoma za Kiafrica
(Let us play the African drum)
Tuimbe kwa furaha
(Let us sing with joy)
Vigelegele na shangwe kubwa
(With ululation and great shouts)
Sauti za Africa
(The sounds of Africa)

Utuokoe Mola tusipotoke
(Save us Lord, so that we may not go astray)
Africa, Africa ardhi yangu a ya ye
(Africa, Africa, my land)
Utubarkiki Mola tusipotoke
(Bless us Lord, so that we may not go astray)
Africa, Africa ardhi yangu a ya ye
(Africa, Africa, my land)

Tucheze ngoma za Kiafrica
(Let us play the African drum)
Tuimbe kwa furaha
(Let us sing with joy)
Vigelegele na shangwe kubwa
(With ululation and great shouts)
Sauti za Africa
(The sounds of Africa)
