[Verse 1]
Don’t desire my diamonds
You better know my story
Don’t just see mi glitter
Kunali mdima before this glory
There was a time I used to suffer
No car, bang bang, trouser no lamba
You know nothing at all, I know, I know
There was a time I used to struggle
No clothes, bang bang, bolani ngati mwadya
You know nothing I know
[Chorus]
Chipanda chiuta
Bwenzi ndili kape, bwenzi ndili kape
Yah, Mr nobody, ooh yah
Chipanda chiuta
Bwenzi ndili kape, bwenzi ndili kape
Yah, Mr nobody, ooh yah
Ndagonapo pa mbalambanda
Pabalaza nyumba yochucha
Kumalimbilana maguza
Yah, don’t just see my glory
[Verse 2]
When I look back ndimalila
No single pillar yosamila
Chipanda yehova nditamila
Yah, don’t just see my glory
If I tell you, you won’t believe
Love me me now, you love me now
Seen me then, undiseka
Come over I tell you a story
There was a time I used to suffer
No car, bang bang, trouser no lamba
You know nothing at all, I know, I know
There was a time I used to struggle
No clothes, bang bang, bolani ngati mwadya
You know nothing, I know
[Chorus]
Chipanda chiuta
Bwenzi ndili kape, bwenzi ndili kape
Yah, Mr nobody, oooh yah
Chipanda chiuta
Bwenzi ndili kape, bwenzi ndili kape
Yah, Mr nobody, ooh yah
Ndagonapo pa mbalambanda
Pabalaza nyumba yochucha
Kumalimbilana maguza
Yah, don’t just see my glory
Ndagonapo pa mbalambanda
Pabalaza nyumba yochucha
Kumalimbilana maguza
Yah, don’t just see my glory
[Outro]
Eeh eeh eeh mr nobody, ooh yah
Eeh eeh eeh
Mr nobody, to somebody, ooh
Eeh eeh eeh
Mr nobody, to somebody, ooh
