[Intro]
Whispers in the night, a shadowed vow begins to stir
I keep a flame in silence, though your steps are never sure
[Verse 1]
French: Pourquoi es-tu parti, mon amour, sans un mot? J’attends encore ton retour
Abandoned heart, I trace your name on the fog of memory’s door
I vow to hold, in every breath, the promise I swore before
[Pre-Chorus]
Swahili: Ninakuahidi upendo wangu, usiku huu na katika kila kabili ya mchana
Nimefadhaika, lakini moyo unabaki thabiti, daima naathubutu kuendelea
[Chorus]
Why did you go, tell me why you left this quiet heart to ache?
I call your name through the rain, for every bond we must remake
If you hear me, come back home, let forgiveness be our pace
I’m staying patient, loving you, no matter time and space
[Verse 2]
French: Le souvenir brûle encore, mais ton ombre ne répond pas
Swahili: Nani anayejua siri ya moyo wangu, nikikukosa usiku na mchana?
[Pre-Chorus]
Swahili: Nimesalimu amri ya upendo wangu, nataka mwenyewe awe na nafasi
French: Et si c’était possible, de nouveau, de recommencer sans chaînes ni traces
[Chorus]
Why did you go, tell me why you left this quiet heart to ache?
I call your name through the rain, for every bond we must remake
If you hear me, come back home, let forgiveness be our pace
I’m staying patient, loving you, no matter time and space
[Bridge]
French: Je t’en prie, reviens, ne laisse pas nos rêves se briser dans le vent
Swahili: Nitumie ishara, nikupatie, tukae pamoja, tuponea kuelewana na upendo usije ukatoweka
[Chorus]
Why did you go, tell me why you left this quiet heart to ache?
I call your name through the rain, for every bond we must remake
If you hear me, come back home, let forgiveness be our pace
I’m staying patient, loving you, no matter time and space
[Outro]
French-Swahili whisper: Mapenzi ya milele, sipotea, siko peke yangu, niko nawe, neema itaweza
