Seven Days to Celebrate Kwanzaa
Seven Days of the Ngoza Saba
Seven Candles on the Kinara
Seven Days to remember who we are

Umoja – for unity
Kuchichagulia – we are self determining
Ujima – work, responsibility
Ujamaa – we prosper our communities
Nia – for purpose
Kuumba – creativity
And Imani is our faith

African Americans
Come together – Be as One
Everyday in Everyway
Light the candles of our faith

Kukaribisha Kwanzaa (Welcome)
Kukumbuka Kwanzaa (Remembrance)
Kushangilia Kwanzaa (Rejoicing)
Come celebrate Kwanzaa

Kwanzaa – the harvest first fruits
It feeds the souls of our African Roots
Kwanzaa – calling us home
To embrace the past and to know our own

Kukumbuka Kwanzaa Kukumbuka Kwanzaa
Kushangilia Kwanzaa Kushangilia Kwanzaa
Kukaribisha Kwanzaa Kukaribisha Kwanzaa
Come Celebrate Kwanzaa Come Celebrate Kwanzaa

African Americans
Come together – Be as One
Everyday in Everyway
Light the candles of our faith

Kukaribisha Kwanzaa Kukumbuka Kwanzaa
Kukumbuka Kwanzaa Kushangilia Kwanzaa
Kushangilia Kwanzaa Kukaribisha Kwanzaa
Come Celebrate Kwanzaa Come Celebrate Kwanzaa

Kukaribisha Kwanzaa (Welcome)
Kukumbuka Kwanzaa (Remembrance)
Kushangilia Kwanzaa (Rejoicing)
Come celebrate Kwanzaa
