(Acoustic guitar playing softly)
Yoh, Boma...
Our pillar, Lungowe Anamunda...
We miss you, Mum.
Forty years in marriage with our father Henry Ndopu
Like Moses in the desert, you walked the journey true
When bo ndate went to heaven in 2003, you stood so strong and tall
Beatrice and Musheba, you carried us through all
Delmah and Yvonne, Ndopu and Tecla pray
The grandkids and great-grandkids remember you today
You left us with a prayer, oh Mayo, we will stand
"Mulimu amifuyole," blessing across the land
"Mi afee mañi ni mañi sesishukelwa ki pilu yahae"
Even those who wish us bad, let God bring good today
Wish each other well, that was your slogan and your way
You were the shining light when the night was cold and dark
You left a legacy, you left a holy spark
We hear your voice in the wind, we feel your gentle hand
The family you built, the strongest in the land
We thank the Lord for the life of Lungowe we knew
Henry is waiting there, to walk again with you
You left us with a prayer, oh Mayo, we will stand
"Mulimu amifuyole," blessing across the land
"Mi afee mañi ni mañi sesishukelwa ki pilu yahae"
Even those who wish us bad, let God bring good today
Wish each other well, that was your slogan and your way
Rest well, Mayo...
Rest well, Henry Ndopu...
Mulimu amifuyole
Yoh... Amen
