Yoh... Lesa mulishempu
Lord protect my people, mukwai
Hallelujah, hear my prayer today
I look at Mayo, I look at Tata
The tears they cried when family pass away
Too many losses, too much pain, oh Lord
But I stand in the gap, and I pray for grace
Keep them safe under your wings, oh Yahweh
No more weeping in this house, I pray
Lesa wandi, shield them from the night
Give them long life, make their future bright
Mayo, Tata, you will live to see the dawn
Natotela Lesa, the shadow is gone
We shall stand, we shall stand, oh mukwai
Long life and peace, no more tears dry
The siblings are gone, but your love remains
Lesa, wrap your hands around their hearts again
No weapon formed shall prosper here, oh no
Every step they take, let your blessing flow
Give them strength, give them health, daily bread
Pour your oil of joy upon their head
Lesa wandi, shield them from the night
Give them long life, make their future bright
Mayo, Tata, you will live to see the dawn
Natotela Lesa, the shadow is gone
We shall stand, we shall stand, oh mukwai
Long life and peace, no more tears dry
Long life, Tata
Long life, Mayo
Natotela mukwai... Amen, amen.
