Giyani Lyrics - Johnny Clegg & Savuka

Siyayibiz' as'hambeni! 

Hayi, ngane -----------(we are calling: hey! let's go child of 

Yamashangane!----------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: 

Shintsha---------------(change) 

Qinga------------------(strengthen myself) 

Qingel'isibindi--------(take courage) 

And don't give up 

Chorus 

Oh I'm going to giyani 

Siyayibiz' 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 

Shintsha----------------(change) 

Qinga-------------------(strengthen myself) 

Qingel'isibindi---------(take courage) 

Don't give up 

Chorus.....
