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
