Johnny Clegg- Asilazi ( we don’t know the day) Lyrics

CHORUS:

ASILAZI, ASILAZI THINA ILANGA LETHU LIZOFIKA NINI

SILINDILE  NGENHLIZIYO , YONKE  KODWA SENZENI NA?

 (We don’t know when our day will come

(We have been, waiting with all our hearts,

(What have we done to deserve  this?

You know this hard for me

Facing the judgement of history

I’m a small man ,I never stood up against anything at all

Always been just  another brick in the wall

It’s hard to know how to make a change

It’s hard to give up what you got  and just walk away

So I got to go now   and face this day

Goodbye my friend, goodbye

You know it’s so hard to fight

On your own against the fading of the light

From the school to the church to heart of the state

To the invisible power of the hidden hand of hate

Where was I when this all began

From the father to the son to the man

So I gotta now  ,  and fact this day

Goodbye my friend ,goodbye

CHORUS
