[Chichewa] When We're Gone

Lyrics

[Intro – Soft piano + distant choir]  
Hmmmm…  
Ohhh…  
Tili tikhalidwe pamodzi…  
Tidzapita limodzi…

[Verse 1]  
Tiyeni pamodzi mu njira izi, ngakhale masiku apita,  
Mtima wokhazikika, nyimbo yathu pansi pa thambo.  
Zonse zomwe timasunga, zonse zomwe timaganiza kuchita,  
Zimatha m'kukhala chete — koma chikondi chimakhalabe.

Kodi tinatonthoza mtima wotopa?  
Kodi tinathandiza wina kuyimirira?  
Kodi tinapereka chabwino?  
Kodi tinatambasula ndi manja otseguka?

[Pre-Chorus]  
Pamapeto sipansi,  
Sili mphamvu zomwe tili nazo,  
Ndi moyo womwe timakhudza m'njira…

[Chorus / Hook – UNIVERSAL ANTHEM]  
🌍 Tikapita — kodi zidzatsala?  
Chikondi chomwe tinapereka kodi chidzamva?  
Mtima uliwonse, moyo uliwonse tikudziwa —  
Dziko lomwe tisiya tikapita.

🌍 Tikapita — kodi adzayimirira?  
Mitima yolimba ndi maso otseguka?  
Mzimu uliwonse womwe timathandiza —  
Tsogolo tikapita.

👉 (Soft Echo Layer)  
Tikapita… tikapita…

[Verse 2]  
Dziko limene timagawana ndi lofooka, koma lokongola ndi losadziwika,  
Ulemu uliwonse umabweretsa kuwala kwatsopano.  
Palibe amene amayenda yekha ngati tingasankhe kuona,  
Moyo wako ndi wanga ndi nkhani imodzi.

Phunzitsani mwana pafupi ndi inu,  
Muwonetseni chisamaliro,  
Mupatseni zoposa nzeru —  
Mupatseni chiyembekezo chogawana.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Zomwe timafesa m'mitima ya anthu,  
Zidzamera pamwamba pa zonse zomwe tili nazo,  
Zidzamveka kwa nthawi yayitali kupitirira masiku athu…

[Chorus / Hook – BIGGER LIFT]  
🌍 Tikapita — kodi zidzatsala?  
Chikondi chomwe tinapereka kodi chidzamva?  
Mtima uliwonse, moyo uliwonse tikudziwa —  
Dziko lomwe tisiya tikapita.

🌍 Tikapita — kodi adzayimirira?  
Mitima yolimba ndi maso otseguka?  
Mzimu uliwonse womwe timathandiza —  
Tsogolo tikapita.

👉 (Choir Layer)  
Yimirani… yimirani… adzayimirira…

[Bridge – Choir + Global Voices]  
(Soft → Massive Build)  
Ohhh…

Ndife mlatho kuchokera pano mpaka ku nthawi yonse…

Kwezani mawu anu — kwa iwo omwe adzafika,  
Mwana aliyense wamkazi, mwana aliyense wamwamuna.  
Zomwe timapereka zimakhala njira yawo,  
Timakhazikitsa tsiku la mawa lero.

Palibe mantha, palibe kugawanika,  
Ndife amodzi — timaimirira pamodzi.

[Final Chorus / Outro – FULL HUMAN ANTHEM]  
🌍 Tikapita — kodi zidzatsala?  
Chikondi chomwe tinapereka kodi chidzamva?  
Mtima uliwonse, moyo uliwonse tikudziwa —  
Dziko lomwe tisiya tikapita.

🌍 Tikapita — adzayimirira,  
Ndi chiyembekezo chathu m'maso awo.  
Mzimu uliwonse womwe timathandiza —  
Tsogolo tikapita.

👉 (Final Choir Chant)  
Ndife amodzi… ndife amodzi…

[Outro – Whisper + Piano Fade]  
Ndife okhalamo…  
Timatonthoza wina ndi mnzake…
