Lawi - Life Is Beautiful lyrics

{Verse 1} From a sound of a co*k in the morning To the beauty in the sound of the singing birds You know life has begun The picture of men and women carrying hoes on their shoulders You know you better get to work Greeting each other as we're passing by With the sound of joy and laughter we welcome a new day {Chorus} And life is beautiful Timapita kumunda timakalima And life is beautiful Timapinda misana kugulula nthaka Ndipo nthawi yokolola Nthawi yokolola ikadza, kumakhala chimwemwe Ndipo nthawi yokolola Nthawi yokolola ikadza, kumakhala chimwemwe This is the life of an African, this is how we live here {Verse 2} And the women know that it's been a long day Of burning in the sun and working hard They bring out the home food The sun has gone here comes the night And tonight we dance in the moonlight, the songs of our people Eh, mama, yeah Elelele-lele mama, elelele-lele, mama, elele {Chorus} And life is beautiful Timapita kumunda timakalima And life is beautiful Timapinda misana kugulula nthaka Ndipo nthawi yokolola Nthawi yokolola ikadza, kumakhala chimwemwe Ndipo nthawi yokolola Nthawi yokolola ikadza, kumakhala chimwemwe This is the life of an African, this is how we live here
