That kind of August

Four separate friends of mine had a rotten August

Four lost their parents - two fathers and two mothers

From Siaya, Bondo, Maua and Kakamega

Different parts of the country

I cant even imagine the pain

I cant even imagine the emptyness

I dont want even to imagine

I pray that they gain strength over this loss

I dedicate this new song by Filah to all those experiencing loss at this moment

An apari Mama (am thinking of you mum)
an apari baba eh (am thinking of dad)
an aparo u duto eh(am thinking of all of you)
e ndalo duto ma pok a neno u (in the many days i haven't seen you)

Eternal rest, grant unto him/her O Lord
and let perpetual light shine upon him/her.

May s/he rest in peace. Amen.

May his/her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.
