You keep on giving me everything that I need Even when I don’t deserve it, you’re there for me It’s your nature to love me in spite of me When my heart is heavy and I can’t sleep at night Lord you have a way to show me your light Before I know it I feel peace And I know you touched me You’re amazing, so amazing When I think of all the things that I’ve been through I know if I’m still here today it’s because of you Your grace, your mercies have kept me And your grace, your mercies will keep me You said you’ll be with me every day until the end of the world Since you’re with me I shall not fear Because I know that everything will be alright You’re amazing, so amazing You’re so amazing

I’m so happy to be your lover, your lady All day, all night wanna be by your side The touch of your smile makes me high The taste of your skin takes me on cloud nine Boy it just feels so right Didn’t wanna waste no time You stole my heart that first night I can’t deny it baby I love it when you say Girl don’t you know You’re so beautiful I wanna give all my love to you girl Not just a night But the rest of your life I wanna be always here by your side When I don’t hear your voice I feel so empty so all alone I need you by my side Never leave me baby Can’t be without you baby It feels so good in your arms, in your life Baby I’m so happy you feel the same way Boy it just feels so right Didn’t wanna waste no time You stole my heart that first night I can’t deny it baby I love it when you say Girl don’t you know You’re so beautiful I wanna give all my love to you girl Not just a night But the rest of your life I wanna be always here by your side J’ai besoin de toi Reste près de moi Boy don’t you know You’re so beautiful I wanna give all my love to you boy Not just a night But the rest of your life I wanna be always here by your side

Je ne veux plus écouter tes promesses J’en ai assez que tu me mentes sans cesse Je pourrai bien me passer de tes caresses Mario nalembi Mario nabaye I’ve had enough of all of your lying Go ahead and stop the begging You never loved me Stop pretending Mario nalembi Mario nabaye Tous les jours c’est une nouvelle histoire Toi et moi il n’ya plus d’espoir Je ne veux plus pleurer tous les soirs Mario nalembi Mario nabaye Mario c’est trop tard Il faut que tu partes Stop lying I’ve had enough Mario na lembi Mario na baye

I Forgive You (Na Limbisi Yo) 03:37
lyrics

No one’s perfect We’ve all made mistakes Even when we do our best We fall sometimes I know you feel awful about what you said Your silence would have been golden I know you wish you could take it all back I saw it on your eyes Relax I forgive you, I forgive you Essuies tes larmes J’ai tout oublié ne le sais tu pas Je sais que tu regrettes ce que tu as fais Tu aurais aimé l’effacer Je sais que tu aimerais revenir en arrière C’est le passé, c’était hier Je te pardonne, je te pardonne Na limbisi yo, Na limbisi yo

One Of Those Days 03:33

Woke up this morning feeling a little sad One of those days when I just want to stay in bed I don’t want to do a thing I just need to be left alone Turning my phone off Sorry if you can’t reach me Just one of those days Wanna be on my own I don’t feel like getting in the shower The light’s too bright I might as well close the shutters I don’t want to eat a thing I just need to be left alone Retreating to my soul Please don’t try to reach me Just one of those days Wanna be on my own

Je Me Cherche 04:14
lyrics
buy track
Quand je regarde au fond de moi je m’égare Je cherche qui je suis Je cherche l’essence de mon être J’ignore ce que je veux dans la vie Je ne sais pas ce que la vie veut de moi C’est un sentiment qui me ronge Quand j’y pense dans le noir je plonge Ils me voient sûre de moi Et pourtant mes démons me déchirent Ils me voient sûre de moi S'ils savaient que mes doutes me torturent Quand je regarde au fond de moi, je m’égare Partout je cherche ce qui est mien Je ne trouve rien Dans la pénombre je sombre Je dois trouver ma lumière Depuis trop longtemps c’est ma prière Elle semble se dissiper dans l’air Ils me voient sûre de moi Et pourtant mes démons me déchirent Ils me voient sûre de moi S'ils savaient que mes doutes me torturent

Silent Hearts 03:26
lyrics

We were friends Used to run to each other whenever times were rough We shared our deepest secrets and fears We thought we knew everything And it was us against the world We never said anything Didn’t wanna wreck everything It was obvious that inside our little hearts There was a dazzling flame Burning incessantly and killing us Didn’t want to let them speak When you smiled my body trembled My heart stopped Couldn’t control it I thought I could tell you how I felt But I never said anything Didn’t wanna wreck everything It was obvious that inside my little heart There was a dazzling flame Burning incessantly and killing me Didn’t want to let it speak You never said anything Didn’t wanna wreck everything It was obvious that inside your little heart There was a dazzling flame Burning incessantly and killing you Didn’t want to let it speak

about

“Amazing”, the EP, was written and recorded in Paris, Philadelphia, New York and Maputo over a two-year period, and each city played an important role in shaping its sound.
The project’s sonic diversity is a testament to Rafiya’s transcultural influences and its transcendental appeal is proof that music truly is a universal language.
Through songs about love, faith, heartbreak and hope, Rafiya wants to share her positive and optimistic perspective on life - a gift she deems Amazing.
