Yoh... Lesa wandi, hear our prayer today
Mayo is crying, my sister is broken
Ayy, heal our hearts...
My little brother, you left us so soon
Darkness fell upon us in the afternoon
Mayo is weeping, her tears like the rain
My sister is broken, she’s carrying the pain
Every corner of the house is quiet and cold
Missing the sweet brother we used to hold
But we try to be strong, we try to believe
Even though it’s so hard for us to breathe
Lesa wandi, keep him safe in your arms
Far away from the trouble and earthly harms
Though our hearts are broken, we will carry on
We will meet again when the night is gone
Sunga ba mwana, rest in perfect peace
Let the heavy sorrow in our spirits cease
I look at my mother, her strength is fading fast
Holding onto memories from the beautiful past
My sister is staring at your empty room
Wishing we could wake up from this heavy gloom
But we know you’re a star shining bright in the sky
Even though we didn't get to say goodbye
We will hold each other, we will stand as one
Till the healing comes and the pain is done
Lesa wandi, keep him safe in your arms
Far away from the trouble and earthly harms
Though our hearts are broken, we will carry on
We will meet again when the night is gone
Sunga ba mwana, rest in perfect peace
Let the heavy sorrow in our spirits cease
Rest well, my brother...
Mayo, don't cry no more, we are here
Sister, hold my hand, God is near
Yoh... rest in peace.
