Good bye Rwandan Dove of peace
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the Genius of this era,
Where lives were hopeless
You brought love
And you whispered to those in pain kindness.
Now you belong to the Heaven,
And the stars spell out your name ever and ever..
It now seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along Rwanda’s thousand hills
Your candles burned out long before
Your legend ever will
Loveliness we’ve lost
These empty days without your smile
This torch we’ll always carry
For our nation’s golden child
Even though we try
The truth brings us to tears
All our words cannot express
The joy you’ve brought us through the years
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along Rwandan a thausant hills
Your candles burned out long before
Your legend ever will
Goodbye Rwandan Dove of place.
From the country lost
Without your soul who missed the wings of your compassion
More than you will ever know
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along Rwandan a thousand hills
Your candles burned out long before
Your legend ever will
Your footsteps will always fall here
Along Rwandan greenest hills
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever will.
Urabeho Mihigo y urungano!
