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

Something's changed in the weather
There's a movement underground
Something slipped from the finger
And may never again be found
Standing lost by a river
In a land far from you
I came seeking things of value
Only found a point of view

Asilazi, asilazi thina ilanga lethu lizofika nini
Silindile ngenhliziyo, yonke kodwa senzeni na?
Asilazi, asilazi thina ilanga lethu lizofika nini
Silindile ngenhliziyo, yonke kodwa senzeni na?

You know this hard for me
Facing the judgment of history
I'm a small man, I never stood up

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

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

Shadow men from the outlands come to town
Looking for Bafazane
They want to gun him down, oh no
They say he thunders too loud and his people are proud
And they'll never give in while he's still around
And it's the sky above that he loves
They've got bullets for Bafazane, they want to gun him down
They've got bullets for Bafazane, oh they're searching the town

White stone hidden in the ground 
Gonna take a life before it's found
(INDLELA YASE - CONGO the Congo way)

Tribesman from jungle town
He's heading down to the digging mound
Young man in the sun, dig for diamonds everyone
Soldiers in camouflage, drinking and playing cards

Umoya wami onakele kunsela elangena
Lapha enhlizweni yami
Umoya wami onakele kunsela elangena
Lapha enhlizweni yami
Laqegeza lathatha uthando lwami lonke
Ngasala ngingenalutho
Ngasala ngingenalutho
I remember the summer but not the rain,

You have to wash with the crocodile in the river
You have to swim with the sharks in the sea
You have to live with the crooked politician
Trush those things that you can never see
Ayeye ayeye jesse mfana (jesse boy) ayeye ayeye

Chorus:
It's a cruel crazy beautiful world

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

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

Hum
Standing on the Earth seagull flying
Standing on the Earth the sky is bleeding
Standing on the Earth sun is leaving
Leaving us behind

Once there was an African love song
Helped us on our way

One day I looked up and there you were
Like a simple question looking for an answer
Now I am a whale listening to some inner call
Swimming blindly to throw myself upon your shores
But what if I don't find you when I have landed
Would you leave me here to die on your shores stranded?
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.

Badedele Bengene, Kade Basidelela
Let them in
They have insulted us for too long now
Badedele Bengene, Sibalindile Thina
Let them in, we are ready for them
Badedele Bengene, Beze Bonke Bephelele
Let them in, let all of them come at once
Badedele Bengene, Wonke Lamadevana

Faut pas baisser les bras
Pas baisser les bras
Faut pas baisser les bras
Faut pas baisser les bras
Pas baisser les bras
Faut pas baisser les bras
Chez toi comme chez moi
Pas baisser les bras

Tell me new words and break this thirst
Sing me iron songs let me be strong

Give me right, give me wrong
So I know where I belong
Give me dark, give me light
So you dance in my sight

Clear summer day you became the prey
You gave your best defense
Your smile was just pretense

You want to shout, nothing comes out
A shadow blocks the sun
Where does that day live
Where part of you did drown?

You see no ship in the harbor
No match left to strike a light
You could not try any harder
To make a lie out of life
Unfolding everywhere is tragic fate
No-one can help cause it's always too late
A little too late, always a little too late
You're hooked on tragedy

I know that sound
It's the night train passing
It won't slow down
Like some hope everlasting

Sixty nights in the desert
And the truth is still so far away
Through all kinds of weather

Impi! wo 'nans' impi iyeza
Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?
Impi! wo 'nans' impi iyeza
Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?
Impi! wo 'nans' impi iyeza
Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?
Impi! wo 'nans' impi iyeza
Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?

Hayi Wemajongosi
(Hey, young warriors)
Azovimba Phambili
(They will overcome all challenges ahead)

Today is the reckoning
Today we hold the line
Today is the quickening

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

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 (Ooh ooh)
Then I walk among the flowers and trees

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

And I say to you
In time even the sun will die

Ngikhumbula ngisakhula ngikhul'ekhaya
I remember the days growing up at home

Baba nomama, nobaba, nomame
Fathers and mothers, fathers and mothers
Basithanda thina emakhabeleni
They once cared and loved us in makhabeleni

The watchman's fire is burning, but the watchman has gone
The singer knows the words, but she can't recall the song
The passenger is waiting, but the train don't come
The telephone is ringing, but to answer no-one
I'll meet you on new earth, new earth
Standing on common ground
I'll meet you on new earth, new earth
Where the lost will be found

I was sitting at the corner café
Looking across Montego Bay
I wanted to remember the perfect view
But I was looking at my watch
I was waiting for you
With you're secrets and you're eyes that sing
With you're soft skirt flowing in the wind
While a picture that you always paint

Standing in the hills below the valley lies
Watching the last drays as the sun dies I got
Mud on my boots sweat in my eyes
I'm standing on the earth under African skies
I said hela earth give me life
Hela earth give me life
I said hela earth give me life
Hela earth give me life

Bamba! Siyayilanda!
Siyayibamba siyayilanda!
Ngithi bamba! Siyayilanda!
Fetch it! Siyayilanda!
Bamba! Siyayilanda!
Siyayibamba siyayilanda!
Ngithi bamba! Siyayilanda!
Fetch it! Siyayilanda!

Tell him again he don't care much to hear (Mtsheleni madoda akafuni ukulalela)
Tell him again freedom is in the air (Mtsheleni madoda akafuni ukulalela)
I was talking to him again
But he never understand me
He thinks special and very strange
If I question what he hands me
He can't imagine
I have a feeling for what I can be

Tonight I had a happy hour
And loved your gentle style
I grabbed the day with both hands
It has taken me a while
I've been waiting to breathe out
To look up and see you smile
Walking through your laughing country
Free from exile

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

Uyishayelani lengane sencane, wemfazi omdala
Uyishayelani lengane sencane, wemfazi omdala
Ngizokhulula, ngizokhulula wena
Ngizokhulula, ngizokhulula wena
Ngizokhulula, ngizokhulula wena
Ngizokhulula, ngizokhulula wena
Uyishayelani lengane sencane, wemfazi omdala
Uyishayelani lengane sencane, wemfazi omdala

I have undone this distance so many times before
That it seems as if this life of mine is trapped between two shores
As the little ones grow older on the station platform
I shall undo that distance just once more
My brothers and my sisters have been scattered in the wind
Dressed in cheap horizons which have never quite fitted
And for centuries they've traveled on a pale phantom ship
Sailing for that shore which has no other shore

Wangishisa ndoda ngakhala ngaphansi
(You have betrayed me, man, I fell down to the ground)
Ngakuthemba wemfo
(Trusted you, brother)
Wangilhala obala
(But you threw me out into the wasteland)
Wangivala ngomkhonyovu
(You betrayed and tricked me badly)
