Lyrics For No Woman No Cry By Gobi Beast
verse 1
You wake up in the morning
And wash everybody laundry
While you let them sleep
I know you had to put aside your own dreams for them
Skhaftin for the kids ngexesha lesgela
Awujongi owakho k’phela
Nieces and nephews joe baniqela
Unqunqu uphekha ichise isidudu
Uhlambe nezitya
Iinqunquthela z’banjwa ngawe
They tryna defeat ya
Still, you gon rise like Maya Angelou
Wasusa abatshana off the corner
Posted like an envelope
And you know
Ba re le ojwa le sa le metsi
You teach them life lessons
A re golele a tle le ngwetsi
Why, ’cause mebala e mo dikgakaneng
You never knew your daddy
Your baby daddy ke satane
I know you might feel like none of us can even see your effots
I mean re go lebala le mafelo a kgwedi re kdotse
No woman no cry, o ne a kwala mokwadi
Thank you for your sacrifices, strong black mosadi
