Mirembe, mirembe, salaam v’shalom

Ya la la la, la la la, la la la la

Make peace in the city
Make peace in the field
Make peace during wartime
Lay down sword and shield
Make peace with your neighbors
Make peace with your friends
Make peace with all nations
So that peace never ends…Ya la la la…(chorus 2x)
