Yoh... Ester.
Why you go like that, my sister?
Mayo...
The house is quiet, the copper belt is cold today
Muli shani, my sister, where did you go away?
You left us standing here, no word, no goodbye
Now ifwe are just looking up at the sky
I wake up thinking it's all just a dream, a boza lie
But the tears in my eyes, they do not dry.
Oh Ester, why did you leave us so soon?
The light has faded from our afternoon
My sister Ester, you didn't even say goodbye
But we know Chukwu has called you to fly
Natotela for the love you gave, the joy you brought
You'll always live inside our every single thought.
From Lusaka to Kitwe, everyone is asking why
How can such a beautiful soul just up and die?
You were our golden girl, the strength of our home
Now we are walking this long road alone
But we hold onto the memories, deep in our chest
We pray that your sweet soul finally finds rest.
Oh Ester, why did you leave us so soon?
The light has faded from our afternoon
My sister Ester, you didn't even say goodbye
But we know Chukwu has called you to fly
Natotela for the love you gave, the joy you brought
You'll always live inside our every single thought.
Ester... my sister.
We miss you so much.
Mayo... till we meet again.
Yoh... Rest well.
