[Chichewa] What Remains

Lyrics

[Intro – Piano Yofewa, Zingwe, Akwaya Osamveka]

Hmmmm...

Tisanadziwe mayina athu...

Tisanayambe kulankhula...

Tisanayambe kulota...

Tinapatsidwa mphatso...

Nthawi yochepa.

Ndipo mwayi wokonda.

[Verse 1]

Timafika ngati dzuwa lam'mawa,
Mosakweza kukhudza dziko,
Mpweya kukhala mtima wogunda,
Moyo kupeza tanthauzo lake.

Timasonkhanitsa nthawi ndi chikumbukiro,
Timaphunzira kuseka ndi kulira,
Timagwira manja a alendo,
Amene amakhala chifukwa chake.

Ena amakhala nyengo zambiri,
Ena ulendo umakhala waufupi,
Koma moyo uliwonse umene umakhudza wathu
Umasiya chinthu chinalake.

[Pre-Chorus]

Zaka zingadutse ngati mitsinje,
Masiku angafote ngati mphepo,

Koma chikondi chimalemba nkhani
Ngakhale patatha usiku wabwino.

[Chorus]

🌍 Palibe chofunika chikondi chotayika,
Palibe choperekedwa chimene chikusowa.

Kuseka kulikonse,
Phunziro lililonse,
Zimakhala kupitirira zaka zam'mbuyo.

Ngakhale manja athu angapatukane tsiku lina,
Ndipo mawu athu afote m'kumbuyo,

Chikondi chimayenda padziko lapansi
M'miyoyo yathu yakhudzidwa ndi yodziwika.

🌍 Palibe chofunika chikondi chotayika,
Osati maloto,
Osati nyimbo.

Chifukwa mtima umakumbukira kwamuyaya
Zomwe mzimu umanyamulira.

[Verse 2]

Mawu a mayi,
Nzeru za abambo,
Kuseka kwa mnzake wodziwika,

Zinthu zazing'ono zomwe tinkaganiza kuti ndi wamba
Zimayenda ulendo uliwonse.

Mpando wopanda kanthu ukhoza kukhala ndi nkhani,
Chithunzi chingathe kulankhula,

Ndipo kwinakwake m'moyo wa wina
Chikondi chomwe tinapereka chikupuma.

Chifukwa chifundo chilichonse chogawana,
Katundu wina anathandizidwa,

Chikukhala kuwala mkati mwa wina
Ngakhale titapita.

[Pre-Chorus]

Nyenyezi zimawala pambuyo pa dzuwa litalowa,
Nyanja imayimba pambuyo pa mafunde,

Ndipo chikondi chimapeza njira zokhalira
Kumbali ina.

[Chorus]

🌍 Palibe chofunika chikondi chotayika,
Palibe choperekedwa chimene chikusowa.

Kuseka kulikonse,
Phunziro lililonse,
Zimakhala kupitirira zaka zam'mbuyo.

Ngakhale manja athu angapatukane tsiku lina,
Ndipo mawu athu afote m'kumbuyo,

Chikondi chimayenda padziko lapansi
M'miyoyo yathu yakhudzidwa ndi yodziwika.

🌍 Palibe chofunika chikondi chotayika,
Osati maloto,
Osati nyimbo.

Chifukwa mtima umakumbukira kwamuyaya
Zomwe mzimu umanyamulira.

[Bridge – Akwaya Akukwera]

Mwina moyo ndi imfa sizotsutsana.

Mwina ndi zigawo
M'nkhani yokongola yomweyo.

Imodzi imatiphunzitsa momwe timafikira.

Inayo imatiphunzitsa momwe timachokamo.

Ndipo pakati pawo...

Timapatsidwa mwayi

Kukonda mozama.

Kukhululuka momasuka.

Kukweza mzimu wina.

Kusiya dziko lowala kuposa momwe tinapezera.

Chifukwa chomwe timapereka mu chikondi

Sichimatuluka ndi ife.

[Final Chorus – Akwaya Yonse]

🌍 Palibe chofunika chikondi chotayika,
Palibe choperekedwa chimene chikusowa.

Kuseka kulikonse,
Phunziro lililonse,
Zimakhala kupitirira zaka zam'mbuyo.

Maloto alionse omwe tinathandiza kudzutsa,
Dzanja lililonse lomwe tinagwira mwamphamvu,

Zimakhala kupitirira malire a kuchoka
Ndipo zimanyamula ife.

🌍 Palibe chofunika chikondi chotayika,
Osati maloto,
Osati nyimbo.

Chifukwa mtima umakumbukira kwamuyaya
Zomwe mzimu umanyamulira.

Ndipo moyo uliwonse umene tinakhudza ndi chifundo
Umakhala ndi gawo lathu lamoyo.

[Outro – Piano & Akwaya Kuchoka]

Tsiku lina...

Wina adzanena dzina lanu.

Wina adzakumbukira kuseka kwanu.

Wina adzanyamula kulimba mtima kwanu.

Wina adzapereka chifundo chanu.

Ndipo kwinakwake...

Mu mtima umene munathandiza kuchiritsa...

Gawo lanu lidzakhalabe likukhala.

Chifukwa chikondi sichinaphunzire kufa.

Hmmmm...
