Zangon Kataf, make some noise
We celebrate the life of a great man
Pah Joseph Audu Jatau

Papa, we remember you
Papa was a father, Papa was a teacher
A man of faith and a wonderful leader
Ever jovial, spreading joy everywhere
A loving heart that showed how much he cared
Walking through the valley, holding to the light
Guiding all the children through the dark of night
Your wisdom was a beacon, steady and so true
Everything we are is because of you
Joseph Awdu, Jatau, we remember you
Papa, Papa, we honour you
Your love, your laughter, your legacy
Will live forever in our memory

A devoted Catholic, a Knight of Saint Mulumba
A former Vice Chairman, respected by many
You built up the community with a humble hand
The finest spirit across all this land
I remember the lessons sitting by your feet
The way you made a stranger feel so very sweet
Though you have gone, your memories stay

Oh the stars shine brighter for you tonight
Resting in the cradle of the morning light
We don't say goodbye, we just say see you soon
Underneath the shadow of the afternoon
Eh eh eh, Papa Jatau
Move your body, celebrate his life
Father, Teacher, Leader, Friend
Your legacy will never end
