Lyrics

Hapo zamani, sikuya (sikuwa) hivi,
Hapo zamani, shauri ya pombe
Nindibona ndilinxila nje kungenxa yamabhulu
(I am a drunk because of the Afrikaner white man)
Nindibona ndingenakhaya nje kungenxa yabelungu
(I am homeless because of the whites)
Nindibona ndizula nje kungenxa yabelungu
(I am a hobo because of the whites)
Baleka bhulu (Run white man)
Sizobuya (We'll come back)
Sizobuy' ekhaya (we'll come back home)
Written by: Dorothy Masuka
