Johnny Carson has another Johnny, Mr. Clegg on The Tonight Show, along with Savuka, performing their great song, "Don't Walk Away". Love them!
To mark the first anniversary of the passing of Nelson Mandela, Johnny Clegg’s 1987 struggle song, "Asimbonanga", takes on a new meaning. The Zulu word "Asimbonanga" means "We have not seen him", and the song was written to reflect on the fact that Madiba was not visible to South Africans due to the prohibition of the publication of images or depictions of him during his imprisonment. Today, the phrase implies that the great work he started in binding together a new nation has not yet been completed. It is a call to the new South African generation to find inspiration in his life and work to continue his legacy. Here, Johnny Clegg teaches the song to the future generation and to call upon them to make Madiba's dream for a thriving, united and democratic South Africa visible. This video features the winners of the 2014 MySchool Choir competition from Riebeek College Girls' High in Uitenhage, South Africa. Directed by Adrian Steirn. Additional images courtesy of 21 Icons.

Business Day 2014-10-27Jonathan "Johnny" Clegg (born 7 June 1953) is a musician from South Africa, who has recorded and performed with his bands Juluka and Savuka. Sometimes called Le Zoulou Blanc ("The White Zulu"), he is an important figure in South African popular music history, with songs that mix Zulu with English lyrics, and African with various Western European music styles.
Clegg was born in Bacup, Lancashire, to an English father and a Rhodesian mother. Clegg's mother's family were Jewish immigrants from Lithuania and Poland, and Clegg had a "secular Jewish" upbringing. Already in his youth, Clegg, a white, English-speaking person who was raised in the U.K., Israel, Rhodesia (present-day Zimbabwe), Zambia, and South Africa, became interested in Zulu street music and took part in traditional Zulu dance competitions.
As a young man, in the early stages of his musical career, he combined his music with the study of anthropology, a subject which he also taught for a while at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, where he was influenced, among others, by the work of David Webster, a social anthropologist who was assassinated in 1989.
I'm sittin' on the top of Kilimanjaro
All my heart is yearning
Like a candle burning in the night
Seasons keep on turning
Sometimes hard to keep up the fight
I will climb the ancient mountain
I will find the last flicker of the light
CHORUS :
I'm sittin' on the top of Kilimanjaro
I can see a new tomorrow
I'm sittin' on the top of Kilimanjaro
I cast aways all my sorrows
What a strange strange freedom
Only free to choose my chains
So hard not to weaken-
Just give up and walk away
I will climb the ancient mountain
I will find the last flicker of the light
CHORUS :
I'm sittin' on the top of Kilimanjaro
I can see a new tomorrow (oh follow me up)
I'm sittin' on the top of Kilimanjaro
I cast away all my sorrows (oh follow me up)
I'm sittin' on the top of Kilimanjaro
It thrills me right down to the marrow (oh follow me
I'm sittin' on the top of Kilimanjaro
I can see a new tomorrow
Um ho um
CHORUS :
I'm sittin' on the top of Kilimanjaro
I can see a new tomorrow.
Yashimbawula! (the watchman's fire is burning)
What happened to the diamonds in your eyes,
What happened to the hunger for the day's chase?
What happened to the electric smile
That danced across your face
We used to talk about changing the world
Now all you want to do is change your name
Come on baby don't surrender now
to the empty heart of these days.
We used to talk so deep into the night
You had the heart of a wild horse running
You bared your soul to me
and we both knew these days were coming
Chorus:
These days -- blood in the heavens
These days -- fire and ice
These days -- burning streets and visions
These days -- of the loveless child
Yashimbawula!
You were the reason I came here
You will always be the one I am looking for
I can't stand to see the way
these days are pushing you against the wall
Got to get up, got to move out
Face the tide beyond the door
Outside there's a whole world changing
We can't stand here, trapped inside
Let's step out and test the weazther
Hang on baby, it's going to ge a rough ride thru'
Chorus
These days -- searching for a vision
These days -- gun metal blue
These days -- changing my religion
These days -- heartless and cruel
say the words and fill my sails
I will love you through the coming gale
we'll get through the darkest heart of these days
"It's killing time"
Who will watch the watchers?
Who will keep the keepers?
Who will love the lovers -- could you?

I saw the Berlin Wall fall
I saw Mandela walk free
I saw a dream whose time has come
Change my history -- so keep on dreaming
Deam on dreamer, dreamer
In the bst of times and in the worst of times
gotta keep looking at the skyline
not at a hole in the road
Your time will come, sister, your time will come
nobody's gonna rush history, we have to ease it along
-- just ease it along
Our love is alive, and so we begin
Foolishly laying our hearts on the table
Stumblin' in
Our love is a flame, burning within
Now and then firelight will catch us
Stumblin' in
Wherever you go, whatever you do
You know these reckless thoughts of mine are following you
I'm falling for you, whatever you do
'Cos baby you've shown me so many things that I never knew
Whatever it takes, baby I'll do it for you
Our love is alive, and so we begin
Foolishly laying our hearts on the table
Stumblin' in
Our love is a flame, burning within
Now and then firelight will catch us
Stumblin' in
You were so young, and I was so free
I may been young, but baby that's not what I wanted to be
Well you were the one, oh why was it me
'Cos baby you've shown me so many things that I've never seen
Whatever you need, baby you've got it from me
Our love is alive, and so we begin
Foolishly laying our hearts on the table
Stumblin' in
Our love is a flame, burning within
Now and then firelight will catch us
Stumblin' in

Foolishly laying our hearts on the table

Even this bottle does’nt help me to forget quickly
Daars n’ sagte klank in die nag se lug
There is a gentle sound on the evening air

As you sleep in the darkness and flee into your dreams
My bottle is gebreek en my hart is seer

Jy’s so ver van my af , en die toekoms is leeg
You are so far from me and the future is empty
Chorus
One day I looked up and there you were,
like a simple question looking for an answer.
Now I am the whale listening to some inner call,
swimming blindly to throw myself upon your shore.
What if I don't find you when I have landed?
Will you leave me here to die on your shore stranded?
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.
I sing dela, dela ngyanya dela

When I'm with you.
Dela, sondela mama sondela (Closer, closer, come closer
mama), I burn for you.
I've been waiting for you all my life hoping for a
miracle,
I've been waiting day and night, day and night.
I've been waiting for you all my life waiting for
redemption,
I've been wating day and night, I burn for you.
A blind bird sings inside the cage that is my heart,
the image of your face comes to me when I am alone in
the dark.
If I could give a shape to this ache that I have for
you,
If I could find the voice that says the words to
capture you.
I think I know, I think I know, I think I know,
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.
I sing dela, dela ngyanya dela when I'm with you,
dela, sondela mama sondela, I burn for you.
I've been waiting for you all my life hoping for a
miracle,
I've been waiting day and night, day and night.
I've been waiting for you all my life waiting for
redemption,
I've been wating day and night, I burn for you.
Sondela, sondela, mama sondela, I burn for you.
I've been waiting for you all my life hoping for a
miracle,
I've been waiting day and night, day and night.
I've been waiting for you all my life waiting for
redemption,
I've been wating day and night, I burn for you.
S. Shifrin
Sometimes a heart has a mind of its own
Sometimes
I can tell myself that I'm better off bein' alone
Sometimes
But this time I can't hide from the thought of it
It's all around every corner I turn
Right there in lights - black and white
Why everything's wrong
It's all because of you that I feel this way
All because of you that my heart wants to break
If every other love can be forgotten
It's all because of you
Tonight I can't feel any magic at all
Inside
'Cause I can't reach out for the stars
Lookin' up at the moon on my own
No signs of life - no nothin's right
Since you been gone
It's all because of you that I feel this way
All because of you that my heart wants to break
If every other love can be forgotten
It's all because
All because of you I can't sleep at night
Oh no - I can't sleep at night
There ain't no rest livin' second best
Without your love
You don't know what it's like
To feel this way
All because of you that my heart wants to break
If every other love can be forgotten
It's all because
It's all because of you that I feel this way
All because of you that my heart wants to break
I'm goin' out of my head
Because of what you said
I'm goin' out of my mind
'Cause you won't be mine
It's all becuase of you that I feel this way
It's all because
Many a tear has to fall but it's all in the game
All in the wonderful game that we know as love
You have words with him and your future's looking dim
But these things your hearts can rise above
Once in a while he won't call but it's all in the game
Soon he'll be there at your side with a sweet bouquet
And he'll kiss your lips and caress your waiting fingertips
And your heart will fly away
(Soon he'll be there at your side) with a sweet bouquet
Then he'll kiss your lips and caress your waiting fingertips
And your heart will fly away
The light is long the sun is low
I'm riding fast across this dusty road
But I don't want to be, no I don't want to be
Above the ridge an eagle flies
In lazy circles in the western skies
I want to fly with him I want to walk the spirit trail
I've seen them come I've seen them go
Off to the oilfields and rodeos
To find a better way, they leave their native soil
But I can hear a different song
The drum within my heart is beating strong
I want to follow it, I've got to walk the spirit trail
Let every creature I see be a brother and a friend to me
Let every step that I take leave the footprints of a warrior
Along the spirit trail
Heya-heya heya hiyo
Heya-heya heya hiyo
Heya-heya heya hiyo
Heya-heya heya hiyo
They took the land, they took control
They robbed my father of his very soul
To be like one of them, to be like one of them
But I was born a native son
And I will never be another one
To give it all away I've got to walk the spirit trail
Let every creature I see be a brother and a friend to me
Let every step that I take leave the footprints of a warrior
Along the spirit trail
Heya-heya heya hiyo
Heya-heya heya hiyo
Heya-heya heya hiyo
Heya-heya heya hiyo
Let every creature I see be a brother and a friend to me
Let every step that I take leave the footprints of a warrior
Along the spirit trail
Heya-heya heya hiyo
Heya-heya heya hiyo
Heya-heya heya hiyo
Heya-heya heya hiyo

I get paid to take the microphone and slay the stage
Stay away from all the bros. in my band
And all the fans and
All my friends is when the cash is coming in
Or i'll be slammin them balls to the wall
With the ink on my flesh and the yes, yes y'all
No 9 to 5, I'll still survive
I keep my engine on that amp like a Chattanooga champ
That's all we need, another bad seed
Planted on this earth motivated by greed
You wanna play that game bitch
You take a dash for my cash, it's your ass that I'm blasting
Boy you wanna play that game bitch
You take a dash for my cash, it's your ass that I'm blasting
You're bad luck, you're so...stuck
Stuck deep down in that hole again, stuck you got your brain on my green again
Stuck, you're so, you're so, you're so stuck in your head you don't even know
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
Far from suicidal
Still I get them tendencies
Bringing back them memories
That I really miss when I reminisce
Rocking back in the '80's live
My attitude to do or die
Once I was a maggot, now I'm just super fly
Bound for the boundaries
No limits G
Phat ass rhythms driven by my destiny
Your style's in my pocket
Proclaimed to regain that essence
Pressin cause i'm hostile labeled by my profile
In deed I am I am indeed hostile when it comes to greed
You wanna play that game bitch
You take a dash for my cash, it's your ass that I'm blasting
Boy you wanna play that game bitch
You take a dash for my cash, it's your ass that I'm blasting
You're bad luck, you're so...stuck
Stuck deep down in that hole again, stuck you got your brain on my green again
Stuck, you're so, you're so, you're so stuck in your head you don't even know
Aw yeah, ain't nutin' like a greedy bitch
Diggin', diggin', diggin', diggin', diggin' so deep for that green
All I know, all I know, that you must be fucked up in that head
I got a little problem, just one question, beyatch
Why, why you wanna be like that
Why, why you gotta be like that
You wanna be like that
Why, why you wanna be like that - [2x]
Why, why you gotta be like that
Why, why you wanna be like that, why the fuck you wanna be like that
Why, why you gotta be like that, why the fuck you wanna be like that
Why, why, why, why, why you gotta be
Why, why, why, you wanna be like that
Why, why, why you gotta dig in my business you fucking whore
Stuck on yourself, you are
You take a dash for my cash, it's your ass that I'm blasting
Stuck on yourself, you whore
You take a dash for my cash, it's your ass that I'm blasting
You're bad luck, you're so...stuck
Stuck deep down in that hole again, stuck you got your brain on my green again
Stuck, you're so, you're so, you're so stuck in your head you don't even know
Live on tape beyatch, don't fuck with us
Bits of songs and broken drums
Are all he could recall
So he spoke to me
In a bastard tongue
Carried on the silence of the guns
"It's been a long long time
since they first came
And marched through our village
They taught us to forget our past
And live the future in their image"
Chorus
They said
'You should learn to speak a little bit of English
Don't be scared of a suit and tie.
Learn to walk in the dreams of the foreigner
-- I am a Third World Child
The Outworld's dreams are the currency
That grip the city streets
I live them out
But I have my own
Hidden somewhere deep inside of me
In between my father's fields
And the citadels of the rule
Lies a no-man's land which I must cross
To find my stolen jewel.
They said
'You should learn to speak a little bit of English
Maybe practise birth control
Keep away from controversial politics
So to save my third world soul
Chorus
They said
'You should learn to speak a little bit of English
Don't be scared of a suit and tie.
Learn to walk in the dreams of the foreigner
-- I am a Third World Child
Wo ilanga lobunzima

Mntanami
Bits of songs and broken drums
Are all he could recall
But the future calls his name
Out loud
Destruction- in it's purest form
No limit to the vicious damage done
Corruption- injustice with no remorse
Heinous disregard, our future's uncertain
But as life comes from the earth
It must return to the ash
Cleanse ourselves of these vile traits
And crawl back from annihilation
Worthless
We shatter lives
Ruthless
We decimate the earth
Final prayer
Final prayer for the human race we know our time is running out
Millions of people will suffer and die by the hands of those in power
Final prayer
Final prayer for the human race
You must bow to your knees and repent for the human race
Awakened
To the blood stained face
Of a world that can not be changed
Forever reminded
Of a nightmare that is every passing day
Worthless
We shatter lives
Ruthless
We decimate the earth
Final prayer
Final prayer for the human race we know our time is running out
Millions of people will suffer and die by the hands of those in power
Final prayer
Final prayer for the human race
You must bow to your knees and repent for the human race
I've been searchin' for a long time
For someone exactly like you
I've been travelin' all around the world
Waitin' for you to come through
Someone like you
To make it all worthwhile
Someone like you
To keep me satisfied
Someone exactly like you
Just like you
I've been traveling a hard road
Baby looking for someone exactly like you
I've been carrying this heavy load
Waiting for your light to some shining through
Someone like you
Could make it all worthwhile
Someone like you baby
To keep me satisfied
Someone exactly like you
Just like you
Yeah baby
Just like you
And I've been doing some real soul-searching
Tryin' to find out where you're at
And I've been up and down this highway
To all kinds of foreign lands
Someone like you
To make it all worthwhile
And someone like you
To keep me so satisfied
Someone exactly like you
Just like you
Someone like you
Could make it all worthwhile
Someone like you
Could keep me so satisfied
Someone exactly like you
Yes someone exactly like you
Just like you
I've been searching
For such a long time
Marching to the beat
Of a different drum
And now I realize
The best is yet to come
Someone just like you
Someone just like you
Bear witness to treason
Abeyance they cower
Compulsion of liars
Addicted to power
Into the pit
Into the pit
Conspiring for sation
Malfeasance on high
Obstruction of duty
Disorder will rise
Into the pit
Into the pit
Possession by force
Reprisal to task
Defenseless no longer
Expulsion by mass
Into the pit
Into the pit
Kisses that kill me are my friends
I'm wasted on nothing now, but you again
Shifting the colors from room to room
I'm burning your images with my attitude
Naked desire blows me away havent you noticed
I won't ever go let you suffer no pain
Like bottleflies
I won't be the same in this vaseline cage
Like bottleflies
Sweet smell of roses around me
Trapped in moments of fantasy
Breaking my mind from myself, so hard to find
Chorus repeat
Today is the reckoning
Today we hold the line
Today is the quickening
Of the blood and the soul and the mind
I see the colour of spirit
I see the colour of pain
I see the colour of brotherhood
In the burning rain

Pretty woman, walkin' down the street.
Pretty woman, the kind I'd like to meet,
Pretty woman, I don't believe you.
You're not the truth.
No one could look as good as you.
Mercy
Pretty woman, won't you pardon me.
Pretty woman, I couldn't help but see,
Pretty woman, you look lovely as can be.
Are you lonely just like me?
Kiss me
Pretty woman stop a while.
Pretty woman won't you talk a while.
Pretty woman give your smile to me.
Pretty woman, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Pretty woman, won't you look my way.
Pretty woman, won't you say you'll stay with me.
'Cause I need you, hey I'll treat you right.
Come with me baby, you can be mine tonight.
ahhhhh, ahhhh
Pretty woman, hey don't walk on by.
Pretty woman, don't make me cry.
Pretty woman, don't you walk away, hey! OK.
If that's the way it must be, OK.
I guess I'll go on home, cause it's si late.
There'll be tomorrow night, BUT WAIT!
What do I see?
Is she walking back to me?
Yeah, she's walking back to me!
Wohoo PRETTY WOMAN!
Copper sun sinking low
Scatterlings and fugitives
Hooded eyes and weary brows
Seek refuge in the night
Chorus
They are the scatterlings of Africa
Each uprooted one
On the road to Phelamanga
Where the world began
I love the scatterlings of Africa
Each and every one
In their hearts a burning hunger
Beneath the copper sun
Ancient bones from Olduvai
Echoes of the very first cry
"Who made me here and why
Beneath the copper sun?"
African idea
African idea
Make the future clear
Make the future clear
Chorus.....
And we are the scatterlings of Africa
Both you and I
We are on the road to Phelamanga
Beneath a copper sky
And we are the scatterlings of Africa
On a journey to the stars
Far below, we leave forever
If I loved you, time and again I would try to say
All I'd want you to know
If I loved you, words wouldn't come in an easy way
'round in circles I'd go
Longin' to tell you but afraid and shy
I'd let my golden chances pass me by
Soon you'd leave me, off you would go in the mist of day
Never, never to know
How I'd love you
If-I-loved-you
Hawa Beke Mama Oye
Hamba ugadile (be alert and be on guard)
I feel a river in flood in my veins
I can feel your love in my brain
It wants to dance my life
Through a hurricane
Dance the mamba across
The Oshakati plain
Chorus:
Hamba ugadile 'mntanami (be alert and be on guard my child)
The world has crocodile eyes
And if you dance the
Oshakati mamba
Remember to cross yourself twice --
Are you ready
Hawa Beke Mama Oye
Hamba ugadile (be alert and be on guard)
I need to sail away, escape this cage
I can see the sky and the Milky Way
Be my lover tonight, show me the wisdom of life
Dance the mamba, across the Oshakati night
Hamba ugadile 'mntanami (be alert and be on guard my child)
The world has crocodile eyes
And if you dance the
Oshakati mamba
Remember to cross yourself twice --
Are you ready
And if you dance the
Oshakati mamba
You'll be dancing on desert air
Like a seagull searching for the ocean
declare this an emergency
come on and spread a sense of urgency
and pull us through
and pull us through
and this is the end
this is the end of the world
it's time we saw a miracle
come on it's time for something biblical
to pull us through
and pull us through
and this is the end
this is the end of the world
proclaim eternal victory
come on and change the course of history
and pull us through
and pull us through
and this is the end
this is the end of the world
'so we meet again!' and I offer my hand
All dry and english slow
And you look at me and I understand
Yeah it's a look I used to know
'three long years... and your favourite man...
Is that any way to say hello?'
And you hold me...
Like you'll never let me go
'oh c'mon and have a drink with me
Sit down and talk awhile... '
'oh I wish I could... and I will!
But now I just don't have the time... '
And over my shoulder as I walk away
I see you give that look goodbye...
I still see that look in your eye...
So dizzy mr busy - too much rush to talk to billy
All the silly frilly things have to first get done
In a minute - sometime soon - maybe next time - make it june
Until later... doesn't always come
It's so hard to think 'it ends sometime
And this could be the last
I should really hear you sing again
And I should really watch you dance'
Because it's hard to think
'I'll never get another chance to hold you...
To hold you... '
But chilly mr dilly - too much rush to talk to billy
All the tizzy fizzy idiot things must get done
In a second - just hang on - all in good time - won't be long
Until later...
I should've stopped to think - I should've made the time
I could've had that drink - I could've talked awhile
I would've done it right - I would've moved us on
But I didn''t - now it''s all too late it's over... over...
And you're gone...
I miss you I miss you I miss you I miss you
I miss you I miss you so much
But how many times can I walk away
And wish 'if only... '
How many times can I talk this way
And wish 'if only... '
Keep on making the same mistake
Keep on aching the same heartbreak
I wish 'if only... '
But 'if only... '
Is a wish too late...
Standing on the Earth seagull flying
Standing on the Earth the sky is bleeding
Standing on the Earth sun is leaving
Leaving us behind
One there was an African love song
Helped us on our way
Made our hearts feel as strong
As the African Day
Chorus:
Bye bye December African rain --
The long gone summer has passed
And I hear the owls calling my name
The firelight has danced its last
Across your face my friend
And though I love you
I somehow know this is going to be the end
Now the sun has disappeared
And all that remains
An old tin mug and a photograph
So wipe away those tears and
remember the good times
Hum oh
Standing on the Earth, moon is rising
Somewhere in the world -- spirit flying
Standing on the Earth -- leaves are falling
Taking us away
I never knew whom I could love
more -- you or the land
Till I stood lost upon that
shore -- naked and alone
Chorus
'Cause all the birds have flown away
The night is closing in
It's so hard to say goodbye
to eyes as old as yours my
friend
Where did the time go?
Can you tell me where did the time go?
time life show
life time go
Where did the time go?
Where did your life go?

Chorus
She’s the daughter of eden
She’s sister of hope
She’s the mother freedom
She’s the lover I know
She laughs and she jokes
She drinks and she smokes
And she tells it like is
Cause her mind is an arrow
She can’t help herself
It’s the truth’s magnetic pull
It’s the eye of the bull
And it makes you think
While you bleed
What do you really believe?
When the chips are down
Its people who count
And she fights for those
Whose voices are drowned
Whose voices are drowned
Chorus
And she looks at the world
Through the eyes in her heart
But the picture gets blurred
‘cause she feels every part
and she turns your head
cause she’s got great legs!
And walks on the earth
Like its child from birth
Oh.. the natural power!
And the hips that sway!
She’s the daughter of eden
The hardest thing to do
Is to pay my way and keep you
I get off the red bus
Gotta pay the rent
My head is full of us
And the night we spent
Fight for survival
I gotta be cool
A day in the life of a solitary fool
A day in the life
Chorus:
Oh! this is your time
This is your life
This is your day
Oh! look at the night
These are your stars
They show the way
I feel your heart beat
This is your time
This is your life
This is your day
BANINGI BANGANGOTSHANE
There are so many (people) they are like blades of
grass
Somewhere in Africa
The sun is rising now
Young people work and hustle
To fill the table somehow
City heart-beat, in my ears,
Avenue of hope, backstreets of fears
Somewhere inside lies the key
I’ve got you hidden now
Inside of me
Today is the reckoning
Today we hold the line
Today is the quickening
Of the blood and the soul and the mind
I see the colour of spirit
I see the colour of pain
I see the colour of brotherhood
In the burning rain

Like a warrior’s drum
I can see your eyes on fire
Like the flame in the sun
I see lives in the balance
I see the future on hold
I feel a hurricane
And courage in the bone
Every day now when I wake up
You know I feel just a little bit stronger
I stir my coffee with the promise I'll find you
Although I know the road is much longer
How many times I've sat and prayed
I'd find some map to show the way
How many times I've felt each day
Laugh at me and just slip away
Chorus
I don't know where you are
My eyes are fixed upon your star
I know that that at the journey's end
I will see your face again
Indlela 'yasidedela

Sihamb' emalonjeni

Another highway, another mile
Through the dreamtime, down the nile
Under the desert sky blue
I have a picture of loving you
How many nights I lie awake
Feeling your footprints in my soul
How many miles will it now take
To fill this cup and make it whole
Chorus
Sihamba singadlile, lasho ithumbo

Especially when the moon is new
Especially when I fake it with my crew
Especially when the truth is stuck like glue
That’s when I need to be with you
Especially when the town is dead
Especially when I see my empty bed
Especially when I don’t say what should be said
That’s when I need to be with you
Chorus:
YAKHAL’INGAN'EKWAZULU
The child cries in Zululand
KWASE KWASA
Until the morning light
Hum-o-hum
I don’t want to be away from you
Especially when no one can see thru me
Especially when no one can see me thru
Especially when I’ve lost the key
That’s when I need to be with you
Especially when the sun comes up each day
Especially when you smile and say
Every second now is ticking away
That’s when I need to be with you
Impi! wo 'nans' impi iyeza
Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?
All along the river chelmsford's army lay asleep
Come to crush the children of mageba
Come to exact the realm's price for peace
And in the morning as they saddled up to ride
Their eyes shone with the fire and the steel
The general told them of the task that lay ahead
To bring the people of the sky to heel
Chorus
Mud and sweat on polished leather
Warm rain seeping to the bone
They rode through the season's wet weather
Straining for a glimpse of the foe
Hopeless battalion destined to die
Broken by the benders of kings
Vainglorious general and victorian pride
Would cost him and eight hundred men their lives
Chorus
They came to the side of the mountain
Scouts rode out to spy the land
Even as the realm's soldiers lay resting
Mageba's forces were at hand
And by the evening the vultures were wheeling
Above the ruins where the fallen lay
An ancient song as old as the ashes
Echoed as mageba's warriors marched away
Life is a magic thing
Yeah, yeah
Life is a magic thing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
When the sleepy planet comes alive
And I wake up in the warm sunlight
There's a simple harmony to life
A magic thing
Then I walk among the flowers and trees
(It's a magic thing)
And I feel the earth beneath my feet
(It's a magic thing)
And I remember that the air we breath
Is a magic thing
Life is a magic thing
Yeah, yeah
Life is a magic thing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Life is a magic thing
Yeah, yeah
Life is a magic thing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
There's a clearing in the jungle floor
(It's a magic thing)
Where the funky music plays til dawn
(It's a magic thing)
Just to be there with the friends I love
It's a magic thing
Then I look up at the sea of stars
(It's a magic thing)
And I know one day we're leavin' ours
(It's a magic thing)
But I hope we leave it tidy because you know
Life is a magic thing
Life is a magic thing
Yeah, yeah
Life is a magic thing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Life is a magic thing
Yeah, yeah
Life is a magic thing

Un poco m
I am a boy soldier
Look into my eyes
I’m tired and older
Than the dead man by my side
I can take your soul
In a flash and a smile
And my home, and my name, and my life
Lie so very far behind me
Every second in no man's land
I hold my life in these small hands
Every day in a world gone mad
Hard to face who I am
Once we were children
Once we played in the morning light
Once we were chidren
One morning they came
The soldiers took us away
I am a boy soldier
See my eyes’ empty stare
Each day explodes with pain
And it’s more than I can bare
The ghosts of the slain
Are the shadows in my eyes
And I dream tomorrow will come
And carry me away
Every second in No Man's Land
I hold my life in these small hands
Every day in a world gone mad
Hard to face who I am
Once we were children
Once we played in the morning light
Once we were dreamers
One morning they came
I would like to be the one
Who populates your dreams
I would like to be the sun
And shine down on your knees
There’s a black bull raging thru’ my heart
And it’s running straight and true
I can feel the earth move under my feet
As I come closer to you
Chorus:
AYIHLABI INKUNZI YAMI
My bull stabs deeply
IJIKIJELA EWENI
It throws its opponents off a cliff
AYIHLABI, ITHETA ‘MACALA, IYAGONYONZA
It defeats its enemies and court cases are prosecuted
HAWU, MINA NGIKUTHANDA,
Oh, but I love you
HAWU, MINA NGIYASHISA, NGYAFA
I’m burning, I'm dying
I would like to be the sky
You could be my blue
You could be a dancing foot
And I could be your shoe
Oh, it’s hot in here and I need some air
I’ll wait outside for you
Come what may, there will be a day
I will wake up next to you
Oh no, you’ve gone again
I feel like daniel in the lion’s den
Stone cold in the afternoon
So alone in the empty room
They say that four walls do not a prison make
I’m trying to find a way out but there seems no escape
When I feel the hidden power that lies inside your
sound
Like the ghost inside the atom that spins it round and
round
There’s magic in some words, some things you can’t
explain
That conjures up that feeling of the sun inside the
rain
Chorus
When the wind is blowing like a lonesome train
I reach out and touch you and I call your name
When the night is lonely and I fear the coming day
I reach out and touch you
And I call your name -- ngibiza igama lakho
Oh no, don’t let the sun go down
I’m so low, I feel underground
There’s no easy road and no easy way
To say the things I have to say
’cause I know that time is a distance and distance is a
space
I’ve come so far to find you, it’s you I can’t replace
When I feel the hidden power that lies inside your
sound
Like the ghost inside the atom that spins it round and
round
There’s magic in some words some things you can’t
explain
That conjures up that feeling of the sun inside the
rain
Chorus :
UTSHANI OBULELE BUVUSWA WUMLILO
The dry dead grass is made young and green by fire
I’ve come to this place
Where you stole my innocence
I was young then
But I’m older now
Do you remember my face?
Do you recall this place?
Because I remember you
And the things that you do
Some need to feel pain
To learn the game
To feel the fire
And be born again
Here I am now
The night has begun
This is me now, waiting for the sun
CHORUS
I’m still standing
Made it thru’ this fire
I was weaker then
But I’m stronger now
NGIZOVUKA-NJE MINA
I will be re-awakened and reborn
Lessons in love
Lessons in pain
I was weaker then
But i’m stronger now
Do you remember my face
Do you recall this place
Because I remember you
And the things that you do
Some need to feel pain
To learn the game
To feel the fire
And be born again
Here I am now
The night has begun
Today is the reckoning
Today we hold the line
Today is the quickening
Of the blood and the soul and the mind
I see the colour of spirit
I see the colour of pain
I see the colour of brotherhood
In the burning rain

I can see your eyes on fire
Like the flame in the sun
I see lives in the balance
I see the future on hold
I feel a hurricane
And courage in the bone
CHORUS
Something broke the place where the rain is bornb
something stole the promise from the light of dawn
people, people were everywhere struggling to get their share
honest cruelty in the eyes of the innocent
squeezing one more harvest from this tired earth
they call to you, but the wind just blows away their words
didn't believe in miracles, didn't believe you'd come
didn't see any reason to carry on
Chorus:
But in my African Dream, you touched my face
raised up my children and gave them grace
in my African Dream you wiped away my tears
and whispered the promise of a thousand years
Children with eyes like souls ready to fly
looking at me -- for some kind of sacred sign
who will teach the young, the names of the ancient ones
who will tell them from whence they come
I have no answer, don't even have a prayer
All I can do is close my eyes and hope that you will be thre
In my African Dream you blessed the rain
let me stand proud, eased the pain,
you raised me up,
gave me love, filled my cup.
Old man sits in the shade of the thorn treee
he says "these thorns are all that are true
life is suffering, suffering is life,

I saw the Berlin Wall fall
I saw Mandela walk free
I saw a dream whose time has come
Change my history -- so keep on dreaming
Deam on dreamer, dreamer
In the bst of times and in the worst of times
gotta keep looking at the skyline
not at a hole in the road
Your time will come, sister, your time will come
nobody's gonna rush history, we have to ease it along
You got to wash with the crocodile in the river
You got to swim with the sharks in the sea
You got to live with the crooked politician
Trush those things that you can never see
Ayeye ayeye jesse mfana (jesse boy) ayeye ayeye (x2)
You got to trust your lover when you go away,
Keep on believeing tomorrow brings a better day.
Sometimes you smile while you'r cryin' inside,
Just once you'll turn away while the truth be shinin'
bright.
Ayeye ayeye jesse mfana ayeye ayeye (x2)
Chorus:
It's a cruel crazy beautiful world
Every (day first and third chorus)(time
second Chorus) you wake up I hope it's
under a blue sky.
It's a cruel crazy beautiful world
One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye
Say goodbye -- It's your world so live in
it! Goodbye (first-third chorus only). It's
your world so live in it!(x11)
Beyond the door, strange cruel
beautiful years are waiting for you
It kills me to know you won't escape loneliness,
Maybe you lose hope too
Ayeye ayeye jesse mfana ayeye ayeye (x2)
Chorus
When I hold your small body close to mine
I feel weak and strong at the same time
So few years to give you wings to fly
Show you stars to guide your ship by
Chorus
Picture this...
Its fifty years ago on a small country farm
Johnny McMasters Place
And its Friday Night
You've just finished ten hot days of back breakin labor
And the hay...the hay is finallyin
You're sitting around the kitchen table
Under the dim light of the carosine lantern
Everyone is laughing and joking and telling stories...
about their neighbors
You're half way through a bottle of....Moon Shine
And You're gettin aaalllllll fired up....for the dance
Ladies and Gentlemen...I give you the Mull River Shuffle
Here comes Mister MacNeil
The fine shape that he is in
There is no telling which way he'll feel
After his twister around the bend
Raisin' the jar an raisin' hell
There's plenty of stories that they will tell
Some were born of true detail
Some were purely fiction
Look up yonder it's old MacPhee
He's having a few he can hardly see
Wrapped his buggy around a tree
Someone would call the Mounties
Raisin't the jar and raisin' hell
There's plenty of stories that they will tell
Some were born of true detail
Some were purely fiction
Ups you'll find young cameron
at the dance got a fearful hammerin
today all stutterin and stammerin
there'll be hell to pay come saturday
Raisin the jar and raisin hell
theres plenty of stories that they will tell
some were born of true detail
and some were purely fiction
There they write
By the light
Burn and grite
Everynight
waiting for the fish to bite
along the shores of Cocomaugh
raisin the jar and raisin hell
theres plenty of stories that they will tell
Some were born of true detail
and some were purely fiction
There they stand by the door
Selling bush by the score
Asking you to buy some more
Along the shores of 'Cocomagh
Raisin' the jar and raisin' hell
There's plenty of stories that they will tell
Some are born of true detail
Some are purely fiction
I'll go home, I'll go home
Full of the devil and full of the rum
I'll go home, I'll go home
We'll all go home in the morning(reapeat X5)
Out of the rain into my seat
On that train you looked so sweet
I asked you your name
You said ´What is to you, stupid game,
You think I’m a fool
Chorus:
And I say to you
In time even the sun will die
In time even the strong will cry
In time even the weak will fly
In time it will be just you and I
I feel the winds of change
Blowing through my life
I’m locked and loaded
I’m gonna make you mine
Oh, in this wide world it’s only you I choose
I’m locked and loaded
I’m gonna marry you
AWUBONA-NGANI, NGYAKUTHANDA
Why do you not see that I love you
I like it that you push me away
I like it that you mean what you say
I like it that I see no pretense
I like it that your smile is your best defense
Chorus:
In time we will break these walls
In time these chains will fall
In time even the blind will see
In time you will turn and find me
I feel the winds of change
Blowing through my life
I’m locked and loaded
I’m gonna make you mine
Oh, in this wide world it’s only you I choose
I’m locked and loaded
I’m gonna marry you
AWUBONA-NGANI, NGYAKUTHANDA
Why do you not see that I love you
Are you ready to take me, ‘cause I’m ready, I’m ready
to take you
The Harder They Come
Written by Oakenfold, Gray, Furtado Thaws. Vocals: Nelly Furtado Tricky
Ooh
I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains holding me
I wish I could say all the things that I should say
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole wide world to hear
I wish I could share
All the love that's in my heart
Remove all the bars that keep us apart
And I wish you could know how it is to be me
Then you'd see and agree that every man should be free
I wish I could be like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly
Well I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea
And I'd sing cos I know how it feels to be free
I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains holding me
And I wish I could say all the things that I wanna say
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole wide world to hear
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole wide world to hear
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole wide world to hear
One love one blood
One life you've got to do what you should
One life with each other
Sisters, brothers
One love but we're not the same
We got to carry each other Carry each other
One One One One One...
I knew how it would feel to be free
I knew how it would feel to be free
The world is full of strange behaviour
Every man has to be his own saviour
I know I can make it on my own if I try
But I'm searching for a Great Heart to stand me by
Underneath the African sky
A Great Heart to stand me by
Chorus:
I'm searching for the spirit of the Great Heart
To hold and stand me by
I'm searching for the spirit of the Great Heart
Under African sky
I'm searching for the spirit of the Great Heart
I see the fire in your eyes
I'm searching for the spirit of the Great Heart
That beats my name inside
Sometimes I feel that you really know me
Sometimes there's much you can show me
There's a highway of stars across the heavens
The whispering song of the wind in the grass
There's the rolling thunder across the savanna
A hope and dream at the edge of the sky
And your life is a story like the wind
Your life is a story like the wind
Chorus
Guk a 'mzimba (body grow old)
Siyayibiza Ye! As'hambeni
Hayi 'Ngane (We are calling: hey! let's go child of
Yam ashangane the Shangaan)
Oh the river is wide
And the water is deep
Got no money and I can't get to sleep
Takes all my courage to look down that long road
I am going to Giyani
With such a heavy load
I've got to:
Shintsa (change)
Qina (strengthen myself)
Quingel isibindi (take courage)
And don't give up
Chorus
Oh I'm going to Giynai
Siyayibiza Ye! As'hambeni
As'hambeni
Oh I'm going to touch
That magic mystery
Leaving my troubles behind me
Did you hear about the mouse
That went to the cat for love
The cat said:
"Mouse, I can't be what your'e dreaming of.
You're so lonely. You've got it mixed up.
You're looking down below for what lies up above."
You've got to
Shintsa (change)
Qina (strengthen myself)
Quingel isibindi (take courage)
Don't give up
LOMHLABA UNZIMA, LOMHLABA
[this world is a harsh place, this world]
Picture the end of a cycle
here's the fire from heaven
There's a tired planeet closing down
no more news at eleven
somewhere the last of a species has died
somewhere a child is born
when I hold you, I tremble inside
can we ride out the storm?
Are you tough enough -- can you take the strain?
Are you tough enough -- to walk in the burning rain
Are you tough enough -- can you take the change?
Are you tough enough -- baby just say!
Chorus:
Into the heart of the human dream
into a strange new world
remember me under the Tree of Man
where I first heard your words
gonna make it through, I can feel it
What we need is a miracle
what we need is some time
what we need is an angel of Mercy
in this life
Are you tough enough -- can you take the heat?
Are you tough enough -- to walk in the burning street
Are you tough enough -- can you take the change
Are you tough enough -- baby just say!
Chorus...
There's your mama and your papa
waving good-bye in the cold moonlight
in their eyes the confusion of a world gone by
and you hold me tightly as we step out
into the morning light
and I know you are thinking that for something to be born
somthing has to die.
Chorus...
Vele vele we mama kunjalo
ALICE BEANE
I have danced with the first class, Edgar
It was oh, such a dream come true!
EDGAR BEANE
That class isn't for our kind, Alice...
ALICE BEANE
That won't do!
There are hotels on islands, Edgar!
Great resorts on a sandy beach...
EDGAR BEANE
That's a world that's beyond our income
And our reach...
ALICE BEANE
Please don't tell me never
I'll want this forever...ever...
There's a new world around us, Edgar
EDGAR BEANE
Won't you ever give up that view?
ALICE BEANE
I want more than we've got now, Edgar
Why don't you?
Jot down the words you wanna say
Make sure they don't conflict with mine in any way
Make them sound good
Remember the laws that apply
I gave you a buck it's my right to decide
Pretend your life is squeaky clean
Pure as the virgin you think your daughter is
She laughs in your face
As you bring your speech to a close
But she's doing it under your nose
I don't care who you wanna pray to
If it makes you happy then go ahead
But you claim I'm wrong, what gives you the right
Just stick to you own life
You used to wear your pretty clothes
Now that the scruff is in, you're left with what you used to know
But here comes your rules
The fashion police are in
And suddenly your politics are changing again
Idolize and criticize
Push them in the right direction to paradise
Praise them with guilt
Distinguish the weak from the strong
But knowing that we end up the same in the long run
I don't care who you wanna pray to
If it makes you happy then go ahead
But you claim I'm wrong, what gives you the right
Just stick to you own life
The position you have may be lost
I don't care who you wanna pray to
If it makes you happy then go ahead
But you claim I'm wrong, what gives you the right
Just stick to you own life
I don't care who you wanna pray to
If it makes you happy then go ahead
But you claim I'm wrong, what gives you the right
Just stick to you own life
Three days was the morning.
My focus three days old.
My head, it landed
To the sounds of cricket bows...
I am proud man anyway...
Covered now by three days...
Three ways was the morning.
Three lovers, in three ways.
We knew when she landed,
Three days she'd stay.
I am a proud man anyway...
Covered now by three days...
We saw shadows of the morning light
the shadows of the evening sun
till the shadows and the light were one.
Shadows of the morning light
the shadows of the evening sun
till the shadows and the light were one...
True hunting is over.
No herds to follow.
Without game, men prey on each other.
The family weakens by the bite we swallow...
True leaders gone,
Of land and people.
We choose no kin but adopted strangers.
The family weakens by the length we travel...
All of us with wings...
All of us with wings...
All of us with wings!
All of us with wings!
All of us with wings!
All of us with wings!
Erotic Jesus lays with his Marys.
Loves his Marys.
Bits of puzzle,
Fitting each other.
All now with wings!
Oh my Marys!
Never wonder...
Night is shelter
For nudity's shiver...
All now with wings...
You can run all you like from the classroom or the cot
From a great big man or a tiny tot
But from this day everyday will be BOXING DAY
Don't need your indecision let there be no doubt
Don't need you permission I can count you out
TKO
They put the numb into number they put the cut into cutie
They put the slum into slumber and the boot into beauty
But from this day everyday will be BOXING DAY
It's a fight to the finish let there be no doubt
As the seconds turn into minutes I can count you out
TKO
You need a back to break or a back to stab
NOW YOUR BIRTHDAY SUIT LOOKS DULL AND DRAB
But from this day everyday will be BOXING DAY
NOW YOU DON'T LOOK SO GLAMOROUS
WHENEVER I FEEL SO AMOROUS
I CAN COUNT YOU OUT
TKO
Sweat in the heat for days on end
waiting for you to come again
to hear the words spill from your lips
"the system has fallen"
Mass action on the radio
like a great river ebbs and flows
carrying us to the final close
when the system has fallen
I know that you are tired and weary
seen too much to believe any more
but we have to keep moving down that long road
if we want to reach that far shore.
Chorus:
We're on our way home to find our freedom
and I'm on my way home to find you my friend
where we can stand in the light of the people
and breathe life into the land again.
Siyathemba, siyathemba kuwena nkosi
Sizo fika ema khaya
[We are still hoping and we still believe
we wil reach our final destination]
Hey! You! if you dance in the shadows
the shadows will cover you
and paralyse all the hope in your eyes
that you'll need to bring you shining through
Could you believe that I am your brother?
could you believe that I am your friend?
and although I don't speak the language you speak
we could be closer than you have ever dreamt.
Chorus....
Ngizobeka phansi uku zondana kwami
[I will put down my hatred]
Ngizobeka phansi izenzo zegazi
[I will lay down my acts of revenge]
Ngizoxolelana nezitha zami wemadoda
[I will forgive my enemies]
Sizofika emakhaya
[and will reach our homes]
I'm on my way, on my way, on my way
He’s a leader, talks of freedom
He knows the power of the Big Idea
He’s a dealer, he’s a seeker
Of the power that comes from fear
He gave his life to the party machine
Holding on to a secret dream
He knows better than anyone
Power comes from the barrel of a gun
And he’s rising up against them now
And he’s rising up in country and town
Rising up against them now, rising up
Chorus :
The revolution will eat its children
I see the river of dreams run dry
I’m so thankful I got to love you
You are the reason I survive
The promise of a better life for all
The promise of freedom from hunger and war
So many rose up to answer the call
And so many are no longer here at all
The hopes of yesterday drowning in shifting sands
‘cause something strange is going on across the land
Preaching water but drinking wine
Power gets us every time
The more things change
The more they stay the same
And they’re rising up against him now
And they’re rising up in country and town
And they’re rising up, rising up
CHORUS
Free them from this hunger,
Rain falling like a symphony
On the roof top of my heart
There's a movement in the whispering deep
Before the new dream starts
I see your eyes shining like a neon light.
Smiling in the dark - What made you so strong?
-What made you so strong?
I've seen you dealing in the market place
Buying political regrets
And you've been walking on the water again
But your feet never ever get wet
But you just say...
Chorus: Afrika kukhala abangcwele
(Africa your innocent weep)
I light a candle for the innocent ones
I light a candle for our love
Say a prayer for peace on earth
For the daughters and the sons
And your life is like a cheap street fight
And you're laughing in the dark - What
Made you so strong? (repeat)
I've been waiting all my life for this
To see how the deal gees down -
There's an AK 47 on the dashboard
And mercy's left this town, and you say...
Chorus: Afrika kukhala abangcwele!
(Africa your innocent weep...
That's the way
Et j'ecoutais longtemps couler l'eau des fontaines
Et j'ecoutais le vent chanter infiniment
Vagues de quietude et de paix
D'aussi loin que je me souvienne
L'enfance est un immense ocean
And I was listening a long time fountain's water pour
And I was listening the wind sing for ever
Waves of quietude and peace
As far as I remember
Childhood is an immense ocean
Et je revais longues annees, longue indolence
Ou rien ne se passe mais ou rien ne s'oublie
J'allais sereine et sans connaitre
Le moindre feu d'une absence
And I dreamed long years, long indolence
Where nothing happens but where nothing is forgotten
I was going serene and without knowing
The smallest fire of an absence
Ce n'est qu'en te croisant
Que j'ai su, j'ai compris
That's only when meeting you
That I knew, I understood
J'attendais, j'attendais
J'attendais ton regard pour expliquer enfin
Le pourquoi de ces au revoir
A tout ce long chemin
I was waiting, I was waiting
I was waiting your look to explain finally
The reason of these goodbyes
To that long road
J'attendais, j'attendais
Le pays de ton corps le toucher de tes mains
Ma douce boussole mon nord,
Le sens a mes demains
I was waiting, I was waiting
The country of your body the touch of your hands
My dear compass my north
The meaning to my tomorrows
Et j'abordais les troubles rives adolescentes
Les doutes, les jeux, les mauvais courants
Je me souviens les coups de sang
Des musiques et des mots de France
Amants d'avant
And I was boarding the adolescent beaches
Doubts, games, and bad flowings
I remember the strokes
Musics and words from France
Past lovers
Y'a bien des vies qu'on nourrit d'etude ou de science
Destins faits d'aventures, de records ou d'argent
Des vies d'ecriture et de voyage
Ou de reve de puissance
J'y pensais bien de temps en temps,
En ecoutant le vent
There's a lot of lives feeded from studies or science
Destinies make from adventures, from records or money
Lives of writting and voyages
Or from puissance dream
I tought about that from time to time
Listening the wind
J'attendais, j'attendais
J'attendais ton regard pour expliquer enfin
Le pourquoi de ces au revoir
A tout ce long chemin
I was waiting, I was waiting
I was waiting your look to explain finally
The reason of these goodbyes
To that long road
J'attendais, j'attendais, j'attendais ton amour
Ton beau ton bel amour
Je l'attendais pour enfin vivre
En donnant a mon tour
I was waiting, I was waiting I was waiting your love
Your lovely your beautiful love
I was waiting to finally live
By giving at my turn
J'attendais
I was waiting
I have undone this distance
So many times before
It seems as if this life of mine
Is trapped between two shores
As the little ones grow older on the station platform
I will undo that distance just once more
My brothers and my sisters have been scattered in the
wind
Dressed in cheap horizons that have never quite fitted
And for centuries they've travelled in a pale phantom
ship
Sailing for that shore which has no other
They made the world that you live in
They made it go around
They made the world we live in
They made the world that we live in
They make it go around
They made the world we live in
They could not read
And they could not write
And they could not spell their names
BUt they took this world in both hands
And they changed it all the same
And from whence they came and where they went
Nobody knows or cares
They made the world that you live in
They made it go around
They made the world we live in
They made the world that we live in
They make it go around
They made the world we live in
From our hands leap the buildings
From our shoulders bridges fall
We stand astride the mountain
And pull out all the gold
The rivers of our homelands
Murmur in our dreams
We are trapped inside that distance
Until the future sets us free
They made the world that you live in
They made it go around
They made the world we live in
They made the world that we live in
They make it go around
Nothing on the western front
Nothing at all
Nothing on the eastern side
Nobody to call
Nothing in the northern end
Nothing to send
Nothing on the southern bend
Not a friend
This town is nothing but 4-box square
Oh, I’m looking for someone with a life to share
No bird in the tree singing free
No dog barking at something that he doesn’t see
No smile for me when I pass your way
No clouds floating on a summer’s day
UBANI NGAHLALA KANJENA
Who can live like this
BAZE BAKHALA OBABA NOMA
Even the old peopel ask this question
WOLALA WOLALA BAYADLALA BAHEMU WEMA
Wolala, wolala, the young men dance on
No bling-bling, no shining thing, no money to pay
No phone ring, no talking, nothing to say
Moon and sun pulling each one
Turns night to day
I’m ready to leave this place
On my compus I see your face
In the morning I will see your smile
I will save my life
Gotta go now, gotta go now
he couldn't believe how easy it was
he put the gun into his face
bang!
(so much blood from such a tiny little hole)
problems have solutions
a lifetime of fucking things up fixed in one determined flash
everything's blue
in this world
the deepest shade of mushroom blue
all fuzzy
spilling out of my head
THAMELA ‘MBULU THAMELA! `
warm yourself in the sun, water lizard or monitor

The warriors are drinking –repeat after each line
Die son trek water , soos ek en my bier
the sun draws the water,like me and my beer
Maar die osean is nie bang vir die son se vuur
but the ocean is not afraid of the sun’s fire
Ek dink aan jou want jy is nie hier nie
I’m thinking of you because you are not here
En my bottle is leeg, en my hart is seer.
And my bottle is empty, and my heart is sore
Die pad na jou hart, is sonder a brug
The road to your heart is without a bridge
En die myle na jou deur, is my bitter plig
and the miles to your door, have become my relentless
destiny
Chorus:
SIGUKILE EGOLI MADODA!
We have grown old in Johannesburg ,Men!
NJENGEGOLOVANE, NGENDABA ZEMALI, NGENDABA ZEMALI
Like a rusty mine cocopan, we did this because we

GUKA!GUKA WENA..UZOGUKA OTHANDAYO
Grow old!grow old!..Only someone who gives up will grow
old!
Binne in my ,ek dra jou binne in my,vir ewig
Inside me ,I carry you inside me,forever
My bloed is koud, en ek word oud, soos tai Kalahari
hout
My blood is cold , and I grow old , like tough-hard
Kalahari wood
Maar herrineringe aan jou stook die kole in my hart
But memories of you stoke the coals in my hart
Diep in my ..jy’s diep in my..
Deep inside me, you are deep inside me
Die afstand tussen ons is so krom en skeef
The distance between us , is bent and crooked
Selfs die bottle sal my nie gou laat vergeet
Even this bottle does’nt help me to forget quickly
Daars n’ sagte klank in die nag se lug
There is a gentle sound on the evening air
as jy slaap in die donker en in jou drome vlug
As you sleep in the darkness and flee into your dreams
My bottle is gebreek en my hart is seer
My bottle is broken and my heart is sore
Jy’s so ver van my af , en die toekoms is leeg
You are so far from me and the future is empty
(for Dudu)
Through all the days that eat away
at every breath that I take
through all the nights I've lain alone
in someone else's dream, awake
all the words in truth we have spoken
that the wind has blown away
it's only you that remains with me
clear as the light of day
Chorus: O Siyeza, o siyeza , sizofika webaba noma
(we are coming, we are coming, we will arrive soon)
O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudle lomhlaba
(we are coming, we are coming, we are moving across this earth)
Siyawela lapheshaya lulezontaba ezimnyama
(we are crossing over those dark mountains)
Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka
(where we will lay down our troubles)
A punch drunk man in a downtown bar
takes a beating without making a sound
through swollen eyes he sways and smiles
'cause no one can put him down
inside of him a boy looks up to his father
for a sign or an approving eye
oh, it's funny how those once so close and now gone
can still so affect our lives
Chorus
Take me now, hold me close
don't let go, I'm coming home
I don't want to be a tourist in your heart
I don't want to visit someone else's ruins
Don't want a day trip to the feelings in the dark
Don't want a quick-fix honeymoon
Bridge:
We need: emotional allegiance, devotional love
a living promise like in the story of RAM
Chorus:
Raghupati raghava raja Ram
Patite pavana Sita Ram
Stand be me -- feel the sun
Emotional allegiance -- divine love
There's a change in the weather
and a hole in the sky
snow in the summer
and the rivers run dry
who will guard your fragile dreams of rain
when your heart is tired of daytrippers
and nobody stays....
Bridge:
We need: emotional allegiance, devotional love
a living promise like in the story of RAM
(for Jenny)
I'm a working alien in a land of heat and stone
a casulaty of an economic war
that took me away from home.
It's the politics of money and power
It's the hope that we can build a future in world
getting smaller everywhere
Bridge:
I can hear a siren in the workyard
another shift and I'll be closer to you
I'm a working dog in Babylon and only
your love can get me through
Chorus:
Foreign nights -- took you away from me
Foreign nights -- are not where I belong
Foreign nights -- filled with dust and dreams
Foreign nights -- trapped me in Babylon
AS long as I keep moving
I know I will be all right
cause if I stop to think I'll drown and sink
in the sea of foreign nights
I've got to keep my hands busy
got to keep pushing through
got to learn to deal with this time away from you
Bridge:
I can hear a siren in the workyard
another shift and I'll be closer to you
I'm a working dog in Babylon and only
your love can get me through
Chorus....
Quiet moments in the dark are hardest to face
the sun goes down but not the pain
I want to be with you all the time
I want to be with you, to be with you all my life
(Music: Donalds, Cretu, Gad - Lyrics: Donalds)
Living for tomorrow, you better live for today
Preserve the joy of your heart, when the days get crazy
Living for tomorrow, you better live for today
Preserve the joy of your heart, when the days get crazy
24-7 the world keeps going round and round
Stop the tribal warfare, keep our communities sound
When things get sticky, don't think political
Remember the love of family - think more logical
Living for tomorrow, you better live for today
Preserve the joy of your heart, when the days get crazy
Living for tomorrow, you better live for today
Preserve the joy of your heart, when the days get crazy
24-7 the world keeps going round and round
Stop the tribal warfare, keep our communities sound
When things get sticky, don't think political
Remember the love of family - think more logical
Living for tomorrow, you better live for today
Preserve the joy of your heart, when the days get crazy
Living for tomorrow, you better live for today
Preserve the joy of your heart, when the days get crazy
Chorus:
Asimbonanga (We have not seen him)
Asimbonang' uMandela thina (We have not seen Mandela)
Laph'ekhona (In the place where he is)
Laph'ehlikhona (In the place where he is kept)
Oh the sea is cold and the sky is grey
Look across the Island into the Bay
We are all islands till comes the day
We cross the burning water
Chorus....
A seagull wings across the sea
Broken silence is what I dream
Who has the words to close the distance
Between you and me
Chorus....

Asimbonanga
Asimbonanga 'umfowethu thina (we have not seen our brother)
Laph'ekhona (In the place where he is)
Laph'wafela khona (In the place where he died)
Hey wena (Hey you!)
Hey wena nawe (Hey you and you as well)
Shooting star across my sky
I wanted to keep you in my heaven
"I will be anything you want!" I said
"I will live into your dream just to see you smile"
"Be my baby -- I'll be your crusade
your clown-lover, renegade
I'll be anything you want if it will make you stay"
-- oh but it could never be that way cause:
Chorus:
I can never be what you want
I can never be what you want me to be
The great pretender inside your head
a king wearing someone else's crown
sacrificed who I am so that this heart could be fed
I spend so much time keeping myself underground
You know I love you but I am shaking inside
I know I'm not going to leave here alive 'cause:
Chorus:
I can never be what you want
I can never be what you want me to be
I have sailed this impossible ocean
I have sailed this crazy sea
I can never be what you want,
whatever you want me to be
There is a spirit rising against what I have become
I have to come out and choose to stay our make my run
I'm slowly dying, I have to make a stand
I'm coming home, you'll have to take me for what I am
Chorus
Be? I can never be!
I can never be what you want!
Chopper standing in the clearing, fuelled and ready to ride
Captain in the doorway, telling us to step inside
last minute check, all weapons set
parachute and right sight
going to drop in on the jungle
and grease some stone age tribe
The 'sarge jokes about taking out the last link
to his troubled past
as we hit the canopy. I feel a shadow across my heart
Chorus:
Inevitable Consequence of Progress --
is what he said to me
inevitable Consequence of Progress --
in the judgement of history
inevitable Consequence of Progress --
going to change your destiny
And I felt the sun, sun, sun, the Son, Son, Son
going down on me
The pilot pulled the chopper around
and we got into position
we made all the right moves and
there wasn't any real opposition
Crazy tribesmen shooting arrows at the 'ship overhead
Such a wierd spectacle
the 'sarge he smiled and he said
"There's a new world coming and
there ain't no place for them--
Don't feel sad son for what history has condemned."
Inevitable Consequence of Progress --
is what he said to me
inevitable Consequence of Progress --
in the judgement of history
inevitable Consequence of Progress --
going to change your destiny
And I felt the sun, sun, sun, the Son, Son, Son
had gone down on me
Bridge:
I've been waiting for the clouds to clear
I've been waiting for the dawn
I've been waiting for the fear to subside
and for the sun to make me warm again
"Live and let live" -- step into real life,
[Chorus]
Let it rain, let it snow
Let it rain, let it snow
All the problems let 'em go
Cause it's Christmas
Let it rain, let it snow
Let it rain, let it snow
All the problems let 'em go
Cause it's Christmas
[Verse 1]
It's Christmas Eve
I got my presents under the tree
I'm chillin' with my family
And that's all I need
Love everywhere
Mistletoe's under the stairway
It's raining, it's pouring
My Christmas is snowing
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 2]
It's time to eat
Got Grandmama cookin' them greens
Don't forget the macaroni and cheese
Cause this day is special to me
Little kids playing out in the snow
Homies at the table slappin' them bones
It's raining, it's pouring
My Christmas is snowing
[Repeat Chorus]
[Raz-B's Talk]
Man, it's finally Christmas
It's been a good year ya' know
Yeah
Feels good being with your family and everything
Havin' fun
[Repeat Chorus (2x)]
Maldito sudaca, maldito latino
Inmundo chileno, peruano o argentino
Maldito sudaca, maldito latino
Inmundo chileno, peruano o argentino
No pongas tus manos en mi car
No pongas tus dedos en mi car
Cochino sudaca, cochino latino
Horrible boliviano, vil ecuatoriano
Cochino sudaca, cochino latino
horrible boliviano, vil ecuatoriano
No te fijes en mi mujer
No saludes a mi mujer
Escucha sudaca, atiende latino
Rufi
Sitting in her bed
But inside her head
She can see all the colours of the sun
She travels time and space
To when the world was young
She’s taking notes on the run
She sees the faces
And tries to fit the names
Understanding strange moments in the game
She knows that if you look back in anger
You will never be free
She’s going home and I hear her singing to me
UBANI BENGATHINTHA THINA
Who can touch us
SIBAMBA ILANGA NANGEZANDLA
For we can hold the sun even with our bare hands
Will I really touch the sun?
Will I really be the one?
The fire in flame that colours in your name
Holding out my hands
A shiny yellow band
Burns away the pain
Dries out the rain
In the darkness she recalls all that was said
And the years she spent looking for love
´Mama! did you see me fall?
´Brother! did you hear my call?
´People! can you see the race I have run?
Time is not her own, and she feels it in her bones
There’s a strange hand tugging at her soul
Closing her eyes she’s a young girl dancing free
And she hears an old song as she slides into a dream
Beyond freedom and dignity
Beyond the dying of the light
She takes me
Beyond reason and the trinity
Beyond the sun and out of sight
Oh no, uh no, oh she did it again
Oh no, uh no, she did it again
Chorus
That girl is feeling
Trapped by that ring on her finger
Ushadile (she's married)
Some man thought he shot her down,
But he only winged her
Ushadile (she's married)
Trapped by the ring on her finger...
Such a dangerous affinity
In such a deadly disguise
Hot summer nights and other promises
She carries in her married eyes
Oh no, uh no, oh she did it again
Oh no, uh no, she did it again
Chorus....
You just can't get enough
So you come around here
And you do it again,
You just can't get enough...
