Melody Maker (Madlokovu)

My father was a symbol of the future
My father was a symbol of tomorrow
x2
He used to take me by the hand
Make me listen to his music
Dee-ki-lish, dee-ki-lish, dee-ki-lish!
His guitar was sounding, dee-ki-lish!
Oh, was sounding dee-ki-lish
x2
Before he died, he said, “My son,
this music will live in you forever and ever.”
Oh, was sounding dee-ki-lish!
Before he died, he said, “My son,
this music will live in you forever and ever.”
Melody maker, give me more of that music
‘cause my life is empty without that rhythm!
Melody maker, give me more of that music
‘cause my life is empty without that rhythm!
Melodious voices of the birds
echo in my memories
Memories
x2
He took me on a journey to the mountains
and made me listen to the music of the birds
He took me on a journey to the fountain
and made me listen to the music of the water
The mountains and the rivers were singing
also singing all the music of tomorrow
The valleys and the forests were drumming
also drumming all the rhythms of tomorrow
Rest in peace, Father Madlokovu
