[Lyric] Mirabelle (Don Ngatia)

[Refrain]
Leo ni siku ya upendo
Kesho hatuna matatizo
Leo ni siku ya upendo
Kesho hatuna matatizo

[Verse 1]
Trouble's always been a part of the situation
So, with diligence and heart he faces each equation
Never one who would complain, nor let fear get in his way
He simply whispers into darkness, "Father, hear me pray..."

And in the darkness he found everything he wished possessed
A lonesome angel, child of Abel, queen of dispossessed
Looking deep into her eyes, read her bittersweet of life
He knew her name before she spoke it, he said, "Mirabelle"

[Refrain]
Leo ni siku ya upendo
Kesho hatuna matatizo (Mirabelle)
Leo ni siku ya upendo
Kesho hatuna matatizo
[Verse 2]
Worry lines he calmly hides behind his gentle smile
Leaner years have shamed the man dying to build a life
Though their cupboards may be bare, thick or thin their joy is fed
Replenished daily by the manna love they've come to share

She, too, in darkness reaped the fruits of that she wished possessed
A heart and soul and mind to nurture in their humble nest
One who'd cultivate her dream, speak for those unheard and seen
Child of the ghetto, transcendental, child of Mirabelle

[Refrain]
Leo ni siku ya upendo
Kesho hatuna matatizo (Mirabelle)
Leo ni siku ya upendo
Kesho hatuna matatizo (Mirabelle)
Leo ni siku ya upendo
Kesho hatuna matatizo
Leo ni siku ya upendo
Kesho hatuna matatizo

[Bridge]
Look into the netherworld, turn of the century
See that little girl's world changing rapidly
Awash with sold false hope—disintegration
Culture lost in holy occupation
False Christianity swore to be the death of she
But in the lie she found the Truth 'cause she was seeking He
Storms came and giants stood tall
Hand to mouth, but she weathered them all
Nevertheless, through tests came the solution
Benefactor of her lessons in freedom
Though she couldn't escape historical suction
Her liberty of mind came to make introduction, in action
A child who would bring into fashion
Garments of a struggle and the rest of the faction
A seed sprout at the sound of the school bell
And, no doubt, because of Mirabelle
[Refrain]
Leo ni siku ya upendo
Kesho hatuna matatizo (Mirabelle)
Leo ni siku ya upendo
Kesho hatuna matatizo (Mirabelle)
Leo ni siku ya upendo
Kesho hatuna matatizo (Mirabelle)
Leo ni siku ya upendo, ...
