Simphiwe Dana- Bantu Biko Street Lyrics

“A people without a positive history are like a vehicle without an engine. Their emotions can not be easily controlled and channelled in a recognizable direction. They always live in the shadow of a more successful society.
Black Consciousness is not a negative, hating thing. It’s a positive black self-confidence involving no hatred of anyone, not even the Nats – only of what they represent.
The first step therefore is to make the black man come to himself; to pump back life into his empty shell; to infuse him with pride and dignity, to remind him of his complicity in the crime of allowing himself to be misused and therefore letting evil reign supreme in the country of his birth. “ Steve Bantu Biko
chorus:
Noba esisipaji
Singenayw’ imali
Ndosiphatha xa ndihamb’ eBantu Biko Street
Wathi qala ngaphakathi
Noba esisiqhova
Singenasidima
Ndosithwala dade
Andinakuxelelwa
Ngugi wandifundisa
verse1:
Andinayw’ imali
Yokuthenga zonke
(Ezazizezam azikhw’ eZazulwana)
Kodwa ndakuthusa
Xa kuthiwa makuyiwe
(Kudala ndiw’ gangatha kuphil’ akuthengwa)
Akuthengwa
(Kuphil’ akuthengwa)
Yintoni leyo
(Kuphil’ akuthengwa)
Khuza wena
Asinakuyazi, hayi isimanga
Nawe Mongameli
Xa ubon’ abantu bakho
(Unqandwa yintoni ungaphilis’ isizwe)
Wena Mongameli
Fundis’ abantwana bethu
(Nants’ intw’ esay’ lwela ungathi ulibele)
Sihamba nzima
(Sihamba nzima)
Siyazama
(Sihamba nzima)
Khuza wena
(Ngathi sowubon’ indifanele le ndawo)
(chorus)
verse2:
Sizwe esimnyama
Soya njalo phambili
(Soya njalo phambili xa sime sibanye)
Sizwe esintsundu
Ungayek’ ukukhathala
(Kungaba kuphelile xa ungakhathali)
Wawukhona
(Wawukhona)
Besithathela konke
(Wawukhona)
Sakhal’ inyembezi
(Thina sobabini sivela eGolgotha)
Emaphupheni nasezitoyitoyini
(Singa singahlala siyikhangela ihambo)
Ezingcingeni nasezinkonzweni
(Siyakuzinceda siyikhangele ihambo)
Hamba njalo
(Hamba njalo)
Sukoyika
(Hamba njalo)
Ngoba kufanele
Zincede khawuleza lingekatshon’ ilanga
(chorus)
