[Luganda] When We're Gone

Lyrics

[Intro – Soft piano + distant choir]  
Hmmmm…  
Ohhh…  
Tuliina ebiro ntono…  
Tuka n’amaanyi…

[Verse 1]  
Tugoberera awamu, wadde ebiro bisalawo,  
Mutima gwa nsi gy’enda, nga wimbo w’ensi.  
Byonna byetukwata, byonna byetulowooza,  
Bimala mu mirembe — naye omukwano gubaawo.

Twasanyusa omutima ogukooye?  
Twaganyula omuntu n’asituka?  
Twawawaamu obulungi obusingawo?  
Twagaziya n’emikono gyagazi?

[Pre-Chorus]  
Mu nkomerero si zaabu,  
Si maanyi g’etusikira,  
Obulamu bwetukwatako mu ngeri…

[Chorus / Hook – UNIVERSAL ANTHEM]  
🌍 Bwetuvaawo — kiki kigenda kusigala?  
Omukwano gwetuwadde oba obulumi?  
Emitima gyonna, obulamu bwonna bwetumanyi —  
Ensi gyetusigira bwe tuvaawo.

🌍 Bwetuvaawo — bajja kusituka?  
Emitima emikalabala n’amaaso agayaka?  
Emyoyo gyonna gyetuyamba —  
Ebyomumaaso bwe tuvaawo.

👉 (Soft Echo Layer)  
Bwe tuvaawo… bwe tuvaawo…

[Verse 2]  
Ensi gyetwagalana, eyanguwa, naye n’ekimera,  
Buli bulungi bwetukola bwewaliriza ekitangaala.  
Tewali akola yekka nga tulonda okukiraba,  
Obulamu bwo n’obwange lumu.

Soma omwana ali ku ludda lwo,  
Mumanye n’okwagala,  
Muwadde ebisingawo ku magezi —  
Muwadde essuubi ly’okugabana.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Byetubala mubitima by’abantu,  
Ebyo byebirama ku byonna byetulina,  
Biwulirwa oluvannyuma lw’ennaku zaffe…

[Chorus / Hook – BIGGER LIFT]  
🌍 Bwetuvaawo — kiki kigenda kusigala?  
Omukwano gwetuwadde oba obulumi?  
Emitima gyonna, obulamu bwonna bwetumanyi —  
Ensi gyetusigira bwe tuvaawo.

🌍 Bwetuvaawo — bajja kusituka?  
Emitima emikalabala n’amaaso agayaka?  
Emyoyo gyonna gyetuyamba —  
Ebyomumaaso bwe tuvaawo.

👉 (Choir Layer)  
Situka… situka… bajja kusituka…

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

Ffe tuliko olutindo okuva kaakati okutuuka emirembe…

Siimusa eddoboozi — ku lw’abo abajja,  
Buli muwala, buli mutabani.  
Byetuwadde bibeere olugendo lwabwe,  
Tuteekawo olunaku lw’enkya leero.

Tewali kutya, tewali kwawukana,  
Ffe tuli omu — tusituka wamu.

[Final Chorus / Outro – FULL HUMAN ANTHEM]  
🌍 Bwetuvaawo — kiki kigenda kusigala?  
Omukwano gwetuwadde oba obulumi?  
Emitima gyonna, obulamu bwonna bwetumanyi —  
Ensi gyetusigira bwe tuvaawo.

🌍 Bwetuvaawo — bajja kusituka,  
N’essuubi mu maaso gaabwe.  
Emyoyo gyonna gyetuyamba —  
Ebyomumaaso bwe tuvaawo.

👉 (Final Choir Chant)  
Ffe tuli omu… ffe tuli omu…

[Outro – Whisper + Piano Fade]  
Ffe tuli bwerere…  
Tunyweza omu ku omu…
