Rest Well My Brother (Remix)

Yoh... Lesa wandi, hear our prayer today

Mayo is crying, my sister is broken

Ayy, heal our hearts...

My little brother, you left us so soon

Darkness fell upon us in the afternoon

Mayo is weeping, her tears like the rain

My sister is broken, she’s carrying the pain

Every corner of the house is quiet and cold

Missing the sweet brother we used to hold

But we try to be strong, we try to believe

Even though it’s so hard for us to breathe

Lesa wandi, keep him safe in your arms

Far away from the trouble and earthly harms

Though our hearts are broken, we will carry on

We will meet again when the night is gone

Sunga ba mwana, rest in perfect peace

Let the heavy sorrow in our spirits cease

I look at my mother, her strength is fading fast

Holding onto memories from the beautiful past

My sister is staring at your empty room

Wishing we could wake up from this heavy gloom

But we know you’re a star shining bright in the sky

Even though we didn't get to say goodbye

We will hold each other, we will stand as one

Till the healing comes and the pain is done

Lesa wandi, keep him safe in your arms

Far away from the trouble and earthly harms

Though our hearts are broken, we will carry on

We will meet again when the night is gone

Sunga ba mwana, rest in perfect peace

Let the heavy sorrow in our spirits cease

Rest well, my brother...

Mayo, don't cry no more, we are here

Sister, hold my hand, God is near

Yoh... rest in peace.
