[Tiv] Hemenakiz - Rip Kelvin

Lyrics

[VERSE 1-soft emotional tune]

Ter la Aondu u-uma,
Aondu u-uma 
tar hemban.

Mmmm
Aye, aye tar lu hemban ve.
Uyem u-umdum

Ku ka kwagh u tomon ga
Kpa, Uma kuman
Chiu Tar wase ne yo,
mo yo...
U-ganden ve.
Uuu yeye, aye aye
Kunya yo gudan ku...

[Bridge-emotional chant style]
Hemenakiz no go see you again,
And your sisters no go see you again,
Your brothers no go see you again and your Mama go miss you forever...

[Chorus] 
Brother Kelvin wundum
Kendem ve,
Aondu hemba chi Cha chiil
Man inya dondu...
Mama brothers, sisters 
Are crying...kpa Kevin yo
Ngu Yemen.
Tsomboo u Ayeem Tim
Ka nyi I wua se?

[Verse 2]
You be my age mate, 
You be my friend.
(You be my brother)
I miss you forever 
Life on this earth is 
Just a temporary number.
Anytime at all it can vanish 
Inna Air.
Ann or mba tsav we kpa
Uza ken ken...
Ahemba ka wel kpa u za
Shin nyaa...
Orla de San bumen wel
Ye Nan ngu tso lum atsav ga.
Tsomboo u tso lum la za VA ka
Di Hana?

[Chorus slower deeper] 
Brother Kelvin wundum
Kendem ve,
Aondu hemba chi Cha chiil
Man inya dondu...
Mama brothers, sisters 
Are crying...
kpa Kevin yo
Ngu Yemen,
Tsomboo u Ayeem Tim
Ka nyi I wua se?
