🎤 LYRICS
(Intro – silence, souffle de micro, un doigt sur le clavier Rhodes, basse douce)
Tɛnbɛ… miawo katã, nyuie vaa.
(Don’t cry, peace will come.)
The studio feels like a church tonight,
cables like veins, lights breathing slow.
(Verse 1)
I saw your shoes still by the door,
dust dancing where your laughter was before.
The city hums, but I don’t reply,
every horn outside sounds like goodbye.
My hands remember your face,
my ears remember your grace,
but the world moves like a broken tape,
and your name still escapes my shape.
(Pre-Chorus)
You said, “music heals all pain,”
but even the drum refused tonight.
No rhythm, no fire — only rain
dripping slow through the neon light.
(Chorus)
Tɛnbɛ, Tɛnbɛ, miawo katã, nyuie vaa,
(Don’t cry, peace will come.)
Tɛnbɛ, oh brother, oh sister, don’t cry,
The road is long, but the stars still try.
Silence is the hardest song,
but I’ll sing until you’re gone.
(Verse 2)
Mama said the ancestors listen best
when your tears fall without sound.
So I whispered your name into the mic,
and waited for it to come back around.
Maybe heaven’s just another room,
with the same bassline, less gloom.
Maybe you’re dancing there,
barefoot, with no despair.
(Bridge – chœurs fantômes)
Voices rise behind the glass,
ghost harmonies in quiet mass.
They sing: “Light will hold you,”
they sing: “Love still knows you.”
I close my eyes — the studio blurs,
notes float like spirits, unspoken words.
(Chorus)
Tɛnbɛ, Tɛnbɛ, miawo katã, nyuie vaa,
Don’t cry, peace will come.
Tɛnbɛ, oh brother, oh sister, don’t cry,
The drum may stop, but echoes never die.
(Outro – piano seul, voix tremblante)
Tɛnbɛ, miawo katã…
Your voice fades but my heart still hums.
In the silence, you are the song.
