about

What will I do
So that you can forgive me


Who will I laugh with
You have become angry
My friend forgive me

Who will I tell
You have distanced yourself
My friend forgive me

It's a wrong thing I did
That I didn't call you
I didn't know how
Even abroad suffering does exist

They say I only want to enjoy alone what I'm finding out here
My friend abroad is like living high up a tree (no true freedom)
The proverb is not a lie
My fault is the shame I have
to return home empty handed

Nobody dies from saying Sorry
Nobody dies from showing compassion
I see you sister
I see you brother
I see you daughter
I see you son
I see you uncle
I see you auntie
I see you Mother
I see you brother
I see you father
I see you friend
I see you friend
I see you people
I see you God

lyrics

Mimi apa
Ntafanya Nini
Nju wewe unirumiye

Nta cheka na nani
We unafanya makari
Rafiki uni rumiye

Nta kamatiya nani
We ume chofa mbali
Ndugu we shi urumiye

Nikibaya ndi fanya eh
Kuka tala kukwita eh
Sikukuje namuna ah

Mateso na bulaya oh ikwako
Banasema unataka paka kulya peke byote
Ukunapata kule
Ndugu kwabenda nkulu kwa muchi
Kile bana semaka aina bongo
Bubaya bwangu eh
Ni aya mama yakurudiya kwetu
Nobody dies from saying Sorry
Nobody dies from showing compassion
I see you sister
I see you brother
I see you daughter
I see you son
I see you uncle
I see you auntie
I see you Mother
I see you brother
I see you father
I see you friend
I see you friend
I see you people
I see you God
