In Bemba, a Bantu language spoken in Zambia, "Happy Birthday" can be translated as "Natotela ukwabuka icalo lyabandi." The Word "Natotela" means "congratulations" or "happy," "ukwabuka" means "to see" or "to witness," "icalo" means "day" or "birthday," and "lyabandi" means "of yours." Therefore, the phrase can be broken down as "Congratulations on witnessing your day."
