Pamoja! Imba, imba! Kwa furaha! [Chorus – Rich layered harmonies, joyful and earthy] Pamoja, pamoja Tuko pamoja Mkono kwa mkono Moyo kwa moyo Pamoja, pamoja Tuimbe pamoja Maisha ni mazuri Tukiwa pamoja [Instrumental – Playful flugelhorn melody, interlocking African-inspired hand percussion] [Verse 2 – Male lead, female harmonies answering] Upepo unavuma Miguu inacheza Ngoma zinapolia Mioyo inafurahi [Call and response] Twende! (Twende!) Imba! (Imba!) Cheza! (Cheza!) Pamoja! (Pamoja!)
