Daddy Lumba
TITLE: “FOREVER DL (THE LEGEND LIVES)”
(Tribute Song)
Ei Ghana… listen!
From the roots of highlife… a voice was born
A sound that healed hearts, broke silence, and told our truth
They call him legend… they call him king
Daddy Lumba lives on!
From Nsuta to the world stage light
You turned our pain into sweet melody and life
When love was broken, you gave us words
When hearts were empty, your songs were heard
You sang of joy, you sang of tears
You carried Ghana through the passing years
Every cassette, every radio sound
Your legacy still shakes this ground
Forever DL, your voice won’t die
It echoes in the Ghanian sky
Highlife king, your crown still stays
In every heart your music plays
Forever DL, we testify
Your songs will never say goodbye
Daddy Lumba, legend so true
Ghana will always remember you
You taught us love ain’t always fair
But still you made us believe it’s there
From “Aben Wo Ha” to golden days
Your sound still leads in countless ways
You gave the street its broken truth
You gave the elders timeless youth
Even silence can sing your name
Because your music changed the game
And when the drums of life grow low
Your melodies still start to flow
In every heart, in every home
Your voice still feels like coming home
Forever DL, your voice won’t die
It lives in every tearful eye
Highlife king, your story true
Ghana will always honour you
Forever DL, we testify
Legends don’t really say goodbye
Daddy Lumba, your light still gleams
You live forever in Ghana’s dreams
Rest in rhythm…
Rest in melody…
Daddy Lumba… forever legend.
