REST IN PEACE MFOWETHU KENNETH DAVID KAUNDA

You were a light in the darkness
You were a prophet in the wilderness
Indeed, Ken you were a star in the sky
But it pleased the most high
That you'd to depart
Fare-thee-well Ken Mfowethu

You used to say tiende pamodzi ndmtim'umo
Let's go together with one spirit it translates
Now that you are gone,
We all unite to commemorate in one heart
What a humanist that you were 
Fare-thee-well mfowethu

Go meet with mama Betty
Go greet comrade Major Wezi
Go live pamodzi
Go do so as you ever did in this planet
Go live in the world of spirit
Fare-thee-well Baba wethu
Fare-thee-well Mzalwane
