Zulu Boy – Nomalanga Lyrics

Zulu Boy – Nomalanga Lyrics

Ngakushiya we Nomalanga

Ngakushiya we Nomalanga

Nomalanga ngibhala leziqwati sengiy’joni ehlathini

Ngaphantsi kwa Commando O.R

We are looking forward to coming back home

And been with our loved ones

I will write you letters and please send me pictures of the little ones

But for now we have to fight for the freedom of mzansi

Bathi indliziyo wami ibuhlungu namhlanje…

[Chorus] X2

Shiye babo… (shiye babo)

Wo … wo … wo  ( wo wo wo)

Wo … wo … wo  (wo Nomalanga)

Nomalanga… (bathi shiye babo)

Sas’hlele kwaphantsi kwemthuzi wehlahla sidlala umlabalaba

Mhla ngak’sasa ngizohamba ngathini ngizok’shiya Nomalanga

Ngiyohlezi ngik’cabanga elokuqina lelanga ngikaka ngik’bhamba

Ngiyazi ngiyahamba haw’kusho kuthi ngizokanga

Ngiyobhala mak’phel’ inyanga ngithomele nemali ingane zethu soze zalamba

Sobabili siyazi uhambo lwami emehlo wemamba

Landele u-peace ngidakwe inyembezi zenkanyamba

Wakhala wangibhamba kam’qenga wathamba

Baba k’sasa ngiyahamba ngiy’ eLusaka

Sweety Lavo k’mele ngiyolwela lomhlaba

i-Azania hak’siyeyethu nomasiy’bhanga

Solwel’ umhlamba webaba sfike amabubezi sihlale maweni wentaba

Fak’ ingama lami emthandazweni maw’ thandaza

Nomalanga ngiyak’shiya ngiyahamba ngiyozabalaza

[Chorus]

It was 1985 ngipheth’ ikeje ngisehlathini

Ngicabanga uNomalanga ephamp’ i-stove se-paraffin

Siye e-Sophiatown epartyini soqantsela uMahlathini

Ngidlala amaphupho buyela emhlabathini

Qamela espilini vuka amehlo aqcwel’ inyembezi ngishay’ idenshini

Ngitontsi ikeje ngichecke i-terrain iqhubeka i-mission

Exile no fiction, iqwati isapheth’ i-matric iseposini

Izolo I had a vison yebuso bakho emvakwe spoon e-kitchen

Ngizoyilungisa indaba ka-Bexters injan’ invula iyangena endlini

Impendulo ngizoy’thola nini, iqwati zami ayifik’ yini zonke zo-16

Ngizobuya ngoyanga ozayo ungilinde estopini

Mhlaka 12 kuNtlolanja 1990 Mandela will be out of prison

Okwamanje ngisehlathini I’ll write you again Nomalanga working the system

[Chorus]

Lafika lelolanga k’dala sililindele

Sek’phele iminyanga emihlano sicrossile

S’nungana nale nkululeko esilwelile

Sgijima sgijimile sishay’ ijambo phola sijambolile

Kodwa enalamhlanje angeke lishone ngingambonile

Sathi singen’ emzansi ngishay’ istwetwe ngiquphile

Izinto azisafani nelokishi seli-change-ile

Kodwa nabo Spoti basase khoneni bablomile

Ngiphakamis’ usikili hoezit baf’wethu sengibuyile

Bakhala bekhalile ngopetrol okhuphukile

Bangitshela uguthi umngani wami u-Paul ubodile

Ngathi ngifika endlini, ingani zam’ zonke seyikhulile

Bonke babethokozile ne-O’lady lijabulile

Langibhuka emehlweni langibuza ukuthi ngihambe ngidlile

Langihlalisa phantsi lang’buza ukuthi kukhona yini engik’zwile

Lang’tshela ukuthi u-Nomalanga uswelekile

[Chorus]

Bathi indliziyo yami ebuhlungu namhlanje
