(First basses, then tenors, then altos join in…)
Bambalela, bambalela, bambalela, bambalela
Bamba, bamba, bamba, bamba, bamba oh –
Bamba, bambalela
(Then sopranos join in…)
Sizo
Bambalela, oh bambalela, oh bambalela, oh bambalela
Oh – bamba, bamba, bamba, bamba, bamba oh –
Bamba, bambalela (x2)
Never
Never give up, oh never give up, oh never give up, oh
Never give up
Oh – never, never, never, never, never, oh
Never, never give up (x2)
