Elias
« back
Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye.
Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye.
Taizofara naye fara naye.
Taizofara naye fara naye.
Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye.
Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye.
Taizofara naye fara naye.
Taizofara naye fara naye.

Kwaziwai? Kwaziwai?
My cause symbol, elia
And that cause symbol
Ndakasimba kana makasimbawo.
And that cause symbol
Ndakasimba kana makasimbawo.

Raise your head, beat the sun
But your boys they lie so close to you
Do you dare get up and wake the two
Oh Elias, I see you there at work in the day time
Do you think you could answer all the questions of the world
In just one word - I think you could
    Chorus:
    if you die will I get word that you're gone
    or will I hear it in passing conversation
    or will I stop short and fall to the ground
    distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found

    hold my hand just one more time
    to see if you're really going to meet me
    hold my hand just one more time
    to see if you're really going to meet me

Honest and Manuel, well they're at school now
Given the chance that their father's never seen
To see what's beyond section 17
And in ten years when you look back at your boys
Well you know they're grown way taller than the tallest
Sugar cane in the field
    Chorus:
    if you die will I get word that you're gone
    or will I hear it in passing conversation
    or will I stop short and fall to the ground
    distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found

    hold my hand just one more time
    to see if you're really going to meet me
    hold my hand just one more time
    to see if you're really going to meet me

I see your wife she stands stooped over by fire outside
and I see your boys and when they look up
but I think they got their mother's eyes
'cause she looks so proud she looks so happy
she looks so proud she looks so happy
    Chorus:
    if you die will I get word that you're gone
    or will I hear it in passing conversation
    or will I stop short and fall to the ground
    distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found

    hold my hand just one more time
    to see if you're really going to meet me
    hold my hand just one more time
    to see if you're really going to meet me
