[male vocals] Mpunndu
musonda,
gather
round,
let
me
take
you
back
To
the
days
of
the
golden
sun,
listen
now,
wonim?
I
remember
the
embers
glowing
on
the
imbabula
Mum
and
Dad
sitting
close,
yeah,
life
was
cooler
No
bills
to
pay,
no
stress
upon
our
heads
Just
the
stories
and
the
songs,
then
off
to
our
beds
Dakepi
kaladi,
dakeloma,
alulu
waya
Those
melodies
they
sang,
they
took
our
fears
away
Sosompinde
shomidabwela,
the
rhythm
was
pure
Those
were
the
days
when
the
heart
felt
secure
Wekakote
kamwibwe,
oh
the
night
is
so
long
Wekakote
kamwibwe,
singing
the
old
folks'
song
Mfula
yaselasela,
the
rain
starts
to
fall
But
we
are
warm
inside,
standing
ten
feet
tall
Twafwa
fwushi
nsagalala,
we
dance
in
the
night
Nakuno
nsagalala,
everything
is
alright
Ba
Lord
and
naba
Lord,
they
brought
us
together
Painting
pictures
in
the
dark,
shining
so
bright
They
taught
us
of
the
brave,
the
wise,
and
the
kind
Treasures
of
the
past
that
we
still
hold
in
mind
Eii,
those
voices,
they
echo
in
my
soul
Giving
me
the
strength,
making
broken
pieces
whole
I
miss
the
laughter,
the
smell
of
the
smoke
And
every
little
secret
that
my
parents
spoke
Wekakote
kamwibwe,
oh
the
night
is
so
long
Wekakote
kamwibwe,
singing
the
old
folks'
song
Mfula
yaselasela,
the
rain
starts
to
fall
But
we
are
warm
inside,
standing
ten
feet
tall
Twafwa
fwushi
nsagalala,
we
dance
in
the
light
Nakuno
nsagalala,
everything
is
alright
Natotela
kabili,
I
give
thanks
once
again
For
the
memories
of
home,
away
from
the
pain
Chop
life
while
you
can,
remember
where
you
start
Keep
the
fairy
tales
alive
deep
inside
your
heart
Oyiwa!
The
spirit
never
dies,
it
keeps
on
growing
Like
the
palm
wine
flowing,
like
the
river
showing
Now
I
look
back
with
a
smile
and
a
tear
Wishing
that
those
moments
were
still
standing
near
But
the
music
carries
on,
through
the
passing
years
Dry
your
eyes
now,
let
go
of
the
fears
We
are
the
children
of
the
stories
they
told
Passing
on
the
wisdom,
more
precious
than
gold
Wekakote
kamwibwe,
oh
the
night
is
so
long
Wekakote
kamwibwe,
singing
the
old
folks'
song
Mfula
yaselasela,
the
rain
starts
to
fall
But
we
are
warm
inside,
standing
ten
feet
tall
Twafwa
fwushi
nsagalala,
we
dance
in
the
light
Nakuno
nsagalala,
everything
is
alright
Yeah,
those
were
the
days,
my
friend
A
story
that
never
truly
reaches
an
end
Natotela,
for
the
love
that
remains
Chop
life,
keep
the
spirit,
break
all
the
chains
Wonim?
Good
memories,
stay
with
me
always
Eii,
good
memories
forever.
