“Mzako” means “friend” in Chichewa, the predominant language in Malawi. The song talks about the importance of friendship. “The world is a beautiful place when you are with a friend / In trouble and in peace, everyone needs a friend / This life of ours is a gift, no one should be alone / A person does not walk alone / Love your friend as you love yourself.”
