Mwana (feat. Mwanje Tembo, Theresa Mutale Tembo & Sunburnt Soul Choir)

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 Ndi naiwe 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 Ndi naiwe 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 Ndi naiwe Ndi naiwe Ndi naiwe Ndi naiwe Ndi naiwe Ndi naiwe Ndi naiwe 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)
