about

By Mbongeni Ngema, from the soundtrack for "Sarafina"

lyrics

Siwili-wili sama bhulu
Ama Bhul'a yawiliza
Ay' thathi ngane yami we ma
Ayay'va lele venini

Ngathi ng'yabuza k'lama bhulu
Awa ng'naka noku ng'naka

Ndakhala ndathwali zandle khanda mina
Lizobuyeli lizwe
Angekh'a mabhulw'a salebusa

Zinyembezi zam, angekhe zawela phantsi mina
Lizobuyeli lizwe
Angekh'a mabhulw'a salebusa

They took my child and locked him in the police van
And when I asked these white men, they never answered me
I cried outloud and said, we will get our land back!
You will not govern our land forever!
