Malambo, Your Name Will Remain

_In loving memory of Malambo Mufwambi | 17th January 2026_

*Verse 1*

January 17th, a day we’ll never erase,

Heaven opened wide and called you by grace.

Malambo Mufwambi, with a heart so true,

You sang for Jesus, and the whole church knew.

At Kamakuti SDA your voice would rise,

Like angels harmonizing from the skies.

*Pre-Chorus*

You were good to everyone you met,

A friend, a brother, a name we won’t forget.

*Chorus*

Malambo, Malambo, you left us with bleeding hearts,

Happiness, Mavis, Bryson, Matron… the whole community’s torn apart.

But your songs still echo where the angels sing,

Rest in peace, dear brother, till we meet again.

Malambo, your name will remain.

*Verse 2*

You didn’t sing for fame, you sang for God,

Every Sabbath morning on that holy ground.

Your smile was gentle, your spirit was light,

You made the hurting feel it would be alright.

Kamakuti is quieter now that you’re gone,

But your worship still plays on and on.

*Bridge*

We miss your voice in the choir stand,

We miss your laughter, your helping hand.

Tears fall, but we won’t complain,

Because we know we’ll see you again.

*Verse 3*

To Happiness, Mavis, Bryson, Matron too,

And all who loved you, this song is for you.

The community is hurting, but we stand as one,

Because the good you did can’t be undone.

You left us lessons: love, faith, and praise,

We’ll live them out for the rest of our days.

*Chorus*

Malambo, Malambo, you left us with bleeding hearts,

Happiness, Mavis, Bryson, Matron… the whole community’s torn apart.

But your songs still echo where the angels sing,

Rest in peace, dear brother, till we meet again.

Malambo, your name will remain.

*Outro / Prayer*

Sleep on, singer of Kamakuti, rest in peace,

Until that morning when all sorrows cease.

We’ll sing your song till we meet on that shore,

Malambo Mufwambi… we love you, always more 💛

Happiness Buumba on the beat
