[Chichewa] I Was Here

Lyrics

[Intro – Piano, Strings, Distant Choir]

Hmmmm...

Tsiku lina masamba azapinduka...

Zaka zidzapita...

Nyengo zidzasintha...

Koma chotsalira

Ndi chikondi chimene tinapereka...

Ndipo miyoyo yomwe tinagwira.

[Verse 1]

Sindingathe kusuntha phiri,
Sindingathe kusintha mlengalenga,

Sindingakhale ndi dzina langa
Lolembedwa komwe akuluakulu amakhala.

Koma ngati ndathandiza woyenda wotopa,
Ngati ndathandiza maloto kuwuluka,

Ngati ndabweretsa chiyembekezo
Usiku wa mdima wa wina,

Kenako moyo wanga sunali pachabe.

[Pre-Chorus]

Chifukwa kandulo kochepa
Imafulumiza mdima,

Ndipo ngakhale chifundo chochepa
Chimasiyira chizindikiro chamuyaya.

[Chorus]

🌍 Ndinali pano...

Osati kuti andikumbukire,

Koma kukumbukira ena.

Ndinali pano...

Osati kuyimilira pamwamba,

Koma kukweza wina.

Ndipo ngati dziko lili lowala
Pamene ulendo wanga utatha,

Kenako zimenezo ndizokwanira.

Ndinali pano.

[Verse 2]

Ena azamanga ndi mawu,
Ena azamanga ndi manja,

Ena aphunzitsa mwana,
Ena athandiza wina kuyimirira.

Ena achiritsa mzimu wobvutika,
Ena azolowetsa maganizo otanganidwa,

Ena asiya chuma chawo,
Ena asiya chikondi chawo.

Ndipo nthawi zambiri chikondi
Chimakhala chamuyaya.

[Pre-Chorus]

Chifukwa mtima umakumbukira
Zimene maso angaiwale,

Ndipo chinthu chilichonse chabwino
Chimasanduka njira kwa ena.

[Chorus]

🌍 Ndinali pano...

Osati kuti andikumbukire,

Koma kukumbukira ena.

Ndinali pano...

Osati kuyimilira pamwamba,

Koma kukweza wina.

Ndipo ngati dziko lili lowala
Pamene ulendo wanga utatha,

Kenako zimenezo ndizokwanira.

Ndinali pano.

[Bridge – Choir Rising]

Pamene chaputala chomaliza chatsekedwa,

Pamene nyimbo yomaliza yayimbidwa,

Chiyeso cha moyo wanga

Sizikhala zomwe ndinali nazo,

Koma zomwe ndinapereka.

Sizikhala kuti anthu angati ananditsatira,

Koma angati anapeza njira yawo.

Sizikhala chuma chimene ndinasonkhanitsa,

Koma chiyembekezo chimene ndinasiyira.

Chifukwa moyo uliwonse ukukonza

Nkhani m'miyoyo ya ena.

[Final Chorus – Full Choir]

🌍 Ndinali pano...

Ndinakonda kwambiri.

Ndinapereka momasuka.

Ndinamalota molimba mtima.

Ndinayima mwachifundo.

Ndinali pano...

Ndipo kwinakwake m'mawa

Gawo la ine likhalapo.

Mu kumwetulira komwe ndinathandiza kupanga.

Mu katundu amene ndinathandiza kunyamula.

Mu loto limene ndinathandiza kuzuka.

Mu moyo umene ndinathandiza kusintha.

🌍 Ndipo ngati dziko lili lowala

Chifukwa ndinapita m'njira iyi,

Kenako zimenezo ndizokwanira.

Ndinali pano.

[Outro – Choir & Piano Fade]

Moyo umodzi...

Mwayi umodzi...

Mwayi wokongola...

Kusiya dziko

Pang'ono bwino

Kuposa momwe tinapezera.

Hmmmm...

Ndinali pano...
