Forever My Baby

I hope mamy Maureen will let me sing this song for you my Lilliana

The silence in the house is loud today

I reach for you, but you’ve gone away

The little shoes, the toys upon the floor

Nalafwaya ukukumona, napapita inshita (I want to see you, time has passed)

I see your face in every passing cloud

Umuntima wandi ulefilwa ukutekanya (My heart is failing to be still)

​(Chorus)

Oh, my little star, so bright and so far My Liliana Kafusha

Waliwama sana, mwana wandi (You were so beautiful, my child)

You left a hole that time can’t heal

Icitemwiko candi kuli iwe tacilapwa (My love for you will never fade)

You’re the gentle light in every dawn

Nalicitemwa, nakulafwaya, mwana wandi (I love you, I miss you, my child)

Until the day I see your smile again.

​(Verse 2)

They say that grief is love with nowhere to go

Lelo nshakuleke, uli mu mutima wandi (But I won't let you go, you are in my heart)

I trace the memories like a sacred map

Tuli bamo, nangu twapusana (We are one, even though we are separated)

The world keeps spinning, but I’ve stood still

Searching for you, mwana wandi, mwana wandi Liliana (my child, my child)

​(Bridge)

Sometimes I think I hear you call my name ati daddy Patrick I loved the way you used to call my name

A whisper in the wind, a dancing flame

Lesa amubike mu mutende, mwana wandi (May God place you in peace, my child)

Nkaleibukisha inshita yonse (I will remember you all the time)

​(Outro)

Sleep softly now, my heart, my soul

Ulale mu mutende (Sleep in peace)

I miss you more than words can ever say.

Untill we meet again Lilliana Kafusha Chilufya
