Johnny Clegg & Savuka - Ijwanasibeki Lyrics

Chorus Wemadiliza, wemadiliz’ inkani! Ijwanasibeki langenzani! Wemadiliza, wemadiliz’ inkani! Ijwanasibeki langenzani! Qed’ inkani eyamadoda! Ijwanasibeki langenzani -- zabalaza wemfana! Ijwanasibeki langenzani -- wemaqed’ inkani! Blow whistle blow Down you go alive The cage is falling Like a comet in the night Beads of sweat glisten In the underground light Smoulder boudler Rock reeks fumes Songs of the outlands Change colour when shift is due And you’ve grown a little older Seen bone blown smoking blue! Chorus Grow city grow Ten thousand men below Bleed the burning womb Make the sun-rock show In the wider horizon Where a million lifetimes flow And you know the secret That glitters and glues the best Like the feathers of a dead bird That feather the next bird’s nest Jwanasibeki! Tomorro, tomorro, tomorro Wo-hum-m-wo-hum! Wo-hum-wo-lo-lo-ma! Chorus Can you hear, can you hear me Can you hear, can you hear me In the wider horizon There’s a life-song All my life gone In a mine song I shake the world beneath your feet ’cause I’m just working a little bit Johnny Clegg & Savuka Lyrics Ijwanasibeki Lyrics
