Song lyrics
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?
Makasimba, here?
Ndakasimba kana makasimbawo.
Ndakasimba, ndakasimba. Ndakasimba kana makasimbawo.

You raise your head, you 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 daytime 
Do you think you could answer All the questions in the world 
in just one word - I think you could 

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 gonna meet me. 

Honest and Manuel, well you know, they're at school now 
Given the chance that their father's never seen 
To see whats beyond Section 17. 
And in ten years, when you look back at your boys, 
well you know they've grown way taller 
than the tallest sugar cane in the field. 

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 gonna meet me. 
Hold my hand just one more time. 
Hold my hand just one more time. 
Hold my hand just one more time, 
to see if you're really gonna meet me. 

I see your wife. She stands stooped over by the fire outside. 
And I see your boys. And when they look up, 
you know 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. Yeaaaaaaaaah 

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 gonna meet me. 
Hold my hand just one more time, 
to see if you're really gonna meet me. 

Hold my hand just one more time. (Aya, Aya, Ayaahah) 
Hold my hand, one more time. (Aya, Aya, Ayaahah) 
aya ya ya, yah yah yah, yah yah yah (Aya, Aya, Ayaahaha) 

Hold my hand just one more time, 
to see if you're really gonna meet me. 
Hold my hand just one more time, 
to see if you're really gonna meet me. 

...Translation of beginning... 
Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye 
If I could meet my Jesus I would be very happy with him. 

Taizofara naye 
We would be happy with him 

Kwaziwai? 
How are you? 

Makasimba, here? 
How are you feeling? 

Ndakasimba kana makisimbawo 
I am fine and I hope the same for you 

Ndakasimba, ndakasimba 
I am fine, oh I am fine.

this song is such an amazing song...dispatch has such an impact on my life. im so pissed i didnt listen to them earlier... my brother was always pestering me to listen to them...and i finally did, i was amazed and dumbfounded. i havent stopped listening to them since. i really hope dispatch can keep it together and keep jammin. im gonna miss not having songs to sit in the back of my brothers truck with the band jammin and watching the sunset . spred the word about these guys, maybe they will finally see what they are. I LOVE YOU DISPATCH!

This song is the best and saddest song ever. I have been listening to it over and over again lately because my dad just died. When I first heard it I didn't listen to the words but fell in love with it and now that I know each word I love it even more.
