Johnny Clegg - Utshani Obulele (Zulu version) lyrics

Wangishisa ‘ndoda ngakhala ngaphansi
You have betrayed me, man
I fell down to the ground ngakuthemba wemfo
Trusted you, brother wangilhala obala
But you threw me out into the wasteland
Wangivala ngomkhonyovu
You betrayed and tricked me badly

Kanti siphuma ndawonye
Even tho’ we come from the same village
Uma ngibuza uthi
And when I ask you why you did this you say
Yizinto zalomhlaba
'it’s the way of the world yimi loyo
This is me now wangiwisa phansi
You made me collapse yimi loyo
This is me now sengizovuka
I will rise up ngihlakanipha
And become wiser ngibemusha
And be new again phasopha demmet!
Watch out, damn it sengifikile
I have arrived! Wangi faka esikolweni
You have given me an education
Enganancwadi-bo
That has noformal certificate
Ubuhlungu dami bunginika
My pain has given me isithifikethi sempilo
The certificate of life

Wangishaya ngengqulathi
You betrayed me badly kanti siphuma ndawonye
Even tho’ we come from the same village
Uma ngibuza uthi
And when I ask you why you did this you say
Yizinto zalomhlaba
'it’s the way of the world yimi loyo
This is me now wangiwisa phansi
You made me collapse yimi loyo
This is me now sengizovuka
I will rise up ngihlakanipha
And become wiser ngibemusha
And be new again phasopha demmet!
Watch out, damn it sengifikile
I have arrived!
