Dear dad.
Eish, we miss you.
Yebo, muzyamba Edward.
You showed me how to walk this road with pride
Even when the storm was raging deep inside
You told me "mwana angu, hold your head up high"
Now I look up and I see you in the sky
I hear your voice in the silent night
Guiding my steps, keeping my path so bright
You were the shield, the pillar of my soul
Your lessons in my heart keep me whole
Sure, dad, we still stand strong today.
Tuyakubonana batata, muwone mulumuuno
Tuyakubonana batata, muwone mulumuuno
We feel your spirit in the music we play
We feel your love guiding us every single day
Tuyakubonana batata, muwone mulumuuno
Tuyakubonana batata, muwone mulumuuno
Your legacy lives on, it will never fade away
Aweh, dad, we remember you today.
I remember the days we sat under the tree
You told me stories of who I could be
With your warm smile and a heart so gold
A beautiful story that will always be told
Eish, the house is quiet without your laughter
But we hold onto the hope of the hereafter
You taught me respect, you taught me to love
And I know you are watching from up above
Yebo, Baba, your light is still shining.
Tuyakubonana batata, muwone mulumuuno
Tuyakubonana batata, muwone mulumuuno

We feel your love guiding us every single day
Tuyakubonana batata, muwone mulumuuno
Tuyakubonana batata, muwone mulumuuno
Your legacy lives on, it will never fade away
Aweh, Baba, we remember you today.
Sometimes it hurts, eish, the pain is deep
But I promise you, the promises I will keep
You paved the way for us to survive
Because of you, mr muzyamba Edward, we are alive
Asambe, we carry the torch you lit
We will never stop, we will never quit
Muwone mulumuno, standard of my life.
I see your face when I look in the mirror
The path you laid out is getting clearer
No more tears, only celebration
To the greatest man of our generation
You fought the good fight, you finished the race
Now you rest in a beautiful place
Sharp sharp, Baba, we are doing well
This is the tribute that we love to tell.

Tuyakubonana batata.
Muwone mulumuuno.
We miss you, we love you.
Aweh, mr muzyamba, rest in peace, dad.
