Ijwanasibeki Lyrics - Johnny Clegg & Savuka

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
