An Ode to Pa

Nilifika mahali
Nikakubali
Mi sitaki vita tena
Lazima tu pendane

Mashida zitusonge
Itabidi tubonge
Mi sitaki vita tena
Lazima tu pendane

Nilifika mahali
Nikakubali
Mi sitaki vita tena
Lazima tu pendane

Mashida zitusonge
Itabidi tubonge
Mi sitaki vita tena
Lazima tu pendane

A familiar picture unfolds
All the lonely memories come tumbling
Down the road of blame and I wished that duty and fame
Didn't take you away
Once a knee high child now six three
And as my body changed I felt ugly
Questions of identity
Who am I? I don't know
But where you point I will go
This is a song for my dad

This is a song for you dad

When I look at him I see me
And hear the voices of my society
You better get it right the first time
Life moves on
And your children are grown
If I could live my childhood again
I would savor every moment
What a joy it was just to call you dad
Pray for me to be the best I can be
This is a song for my dad

Nilifika mahali
Nikakubali
Mi sitaki vita tena
Lazima tu pendane

Mashida zitusonge
Itabidi tubonge
Mi sitaki vita tena
Lazima tu pendane

Nilifika mahali
Nikakubali
Mi sitaki vita tena
Lazima tu pendane

Mashida zitusonge
Itabidi tubonge
