Mandla:
This is of those songs you know
Songs that make you bleed inside when you see
Kingdoms, Tribes, Nations fall apart
This is what we have to say
Chorus:
Ngithi wou
(I ask, stop)
Ngezi bamu nemi mese
(with the guns and knifes)
Wendlw’ emnyama
(Oh, black nation)
Masi hlangane sibambane
(let’s unite)
Verse 1:
Riot:
From Cape to Cairo
Morocco to Madagascar
No matter you’re a Muslim
No matter you’re a Rasta
Woza lana sihlazulule lolu daba
(come here, let’s discuss this issue)
Thata nalo thando phutha phansi leyo ngadlayo
(choose love, put down the gun)
Love your brother as you love yourself
Hating one another till it make no sense no
We better organize and centralize no criticize
Emperor Silesia say so
Naturelle:
It make no use to fight against your brother
It make no use to fight against your sister
It make no use to fight against your fellow neighbour
Love is the only way
Repeat Chorus
