Oh, Casimiro
We feel you in the silence, papa
Rest in peace, man
The chair is empty where you used to sit
The house is quiet, but the memories fit
Like a warm blanket on a cold, dark night
We’re searching for your shadow, for your guiding light
Every laughter that we share, we hear your tone
Even in the crowd, we feel you’re not alone
Casimiro Malilwe, we still sing your name
Though you’re gone away, our love is still the same
The love you left behind, it grows inside each heart
Even though you’re gone, we’ll never be apart
Sleep now, papa, in the arms of the divine
Your love is the rhythm, your love is the sign
We see your face inside the children’s eyes
A constant promise beneath the Zambian skies
We tell them stories of the man you were
Of how you taught us, and how you were so sure
We miss you daily, through the sun and the rain
But your legacy, papa, it heals all the pain
Casimiro Malilwe, we still sing your name
Though you’re gone away, our love is still the same
The love you left behind, it grows inside each heart
Even though you’re gone, we’ll never be apart
Sleep now, papa, in the arms of the divine
Your love is the rhythm, your love is the sign
It’s hard, yoh, it’s hard to let you go
But the seeds you planted, watch how they grow
We’re carrying your banner, we’re keeping it high
Until we meet again, beneath the open sky
Rest in peace, Casimiro
We love you, papa
Always with us, ayy
Yeah, keep watching over us
Rest well, rest well
