We mwana
Ndi naiwe
We mwana wandi
Ndi naiwe
Ulemfwaya elyo ndi naiwe
Naba naiwe inshita yonse
Ndi naiwe
(My child
I’ve been with you all this time
You’re looking for me but I am with you)
Ayeh
Mwana wandi ikala panshi
Ikala panshi ikala panshi
Ndi naiwe
(My child sit down, sit down, sit down
I am with you)
Ayeh
Mwana wandi ikala panshi
Ikala panshi ikala panshi
Ndi naiwe
I can see them right beside me
I cannot tell
Why can’t I tell?
I can feel them
Right beside me
All through the hell
I cannot fail
Don’t give up on me
Ayeh
Mwana wandi ikala panshi
Ikala panshi ikala panshi
Ndi naiwe *2
I guess I found my fortune
I don’t need home to feel important
But I need a feeling of peace
I’m not broken
Searching but soft spoken
Leaning up to the ether
Wonder if ancestors been living
On through my ugh
My DNA
Been searching for what’s inside of me
Physically displaced
And spiritually erased
Unceded space
This is a war about face
Physically sentenced us
Spiritual exodus
Kidnapped
I’m in space
But my own don’t recognise voice
Don’t know my face
Pace
This is a war about face
Physically sentenced us
Spiritual exodus
Ayeh
Mwana wandi ikala panshi
Ikala panshi ikala panshi
Ndi naiwe *2
Mwanje
All the tears I felt
All the pain I felt
To find myself
I found myself again
All the strength I found
Feet are on the ground
They walked this ground again
I walk this ground again
Don’t cry again
Don’t be afraid
The voice I’ve found has said
Don’t cry again
Don’t be afraid
Ayeh
Mwana wandi ikala panshi
Ikala panshi ikala panshi
Ndi naiwe *8
We mwana wandi
Naba naiwe inshita yonse
Ulemfwaya elyo ndi naiwe
Sampa!
(My child
I’ve been with you all this time
You’re looking for me but I am with you)
