Johnny Clegg - Manqoba (The Victorious) lyrics

Yithi umanqoba yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani

Yithi umanqoba yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani yithi umanqoba

When I look at all the choices
I made in my life
It's like some natural law
When they bring me trouble and strife
I find my way to your door

Like a wheel turning round and round
I always find you and lay my head down

We're like some warriors
From some forgotten war recalling songs
From a long forgotten shore yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina woza uzodela inkani

Yithi umanqoba yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani



Yithi umanqoba yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani

Once we were warriors now we
Are the playthings of fortune
We always stood on solid ground
Standing back to back, to the wind
We threw caution
Nothing could bring our hearts down

I sometimes feel we are nowhere bound
Then I hear an old familiar sound
It's a song from a time when we were kings
Conquered the world
We flew on eagle's wings yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina woza uzodela inkani

Yithi umanqoba yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani

Yesterday's gone
And tomorrow is just a dream
All we have is now nobody knows
Where the time goes where the time goes

Yithi umanqoba yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani

Yithi umanqoba yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina woza uzodela inkani

Yithi umanqoba yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe uma ufuna thina
