Kukwera Kumwamba by Talumba Chirwa

I will not give up

There is no expectation that was thrown in my favour to which I will not live up

So let me give God big ups

For helping me when life was rough and I was going through some back hiccups

When your eyes have blurred and your future is bleak

Your dreams defer and the strength you try to cook up is weak

When you don’t even know why you are here

Constant fear, wishing these problems would simply disappear

But I am the voice of the voiceless, so let me speak

I am only human I get hungry, so let me eat

I am only human  I am not perfect, so let me be

And if you think that I am blind then please help me see

Zaka zapita zingapo, ndaphunzira zambiri

Miyendo iwiri ithamanga kupotsa chipiriri

Kuthamanga sikufika

Kuthokoza sikoyipa, kuzichepetsa mtima sikutsika

Verse 2

Ndikukwera pamwamba, ndikukhala pamwamba

Ndikubwera ku mbamba ndi ku yenda pa Nyanja

Ana amasikuano ena osavera pa banja

Kudulira koma nsewuwo ukuthera kumanda

Zomvesa chisoni, kuyambira ku Chilomoni

Msungwana koma aliyense wagwirako ngati moni

Nyamata koma aliyense wagwirako ngati foni

Kuyambira achina Chifundo mpakana achina Joni

So what do we do,

Don’t be obsessed with others

Love your Lord, God, Mom, Dad, Sister and Brothers

Love your own soul, grow more showing your colours

Love is so sore, when its raw without any covers

Njala nchilombo, ulesi ndi imfa

Ambiri anyimba, khala tchelu mfana nawenso imva

Pawiri pawiri si pangwirika

Trying to grab two different things at once will leave you with neither

Hook

Pachigaleta chamoto ndikukwera kumwamba

Moyo wanga wonse kukana kupanga zawamba

Pachigaleta chamoto ndikukwera kumwamba

Ndikukwera kumwamba ndi kukhala pamwamba
