Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gogo bek' umthwalo
Kunin' uhlupheka?
Little ghetto child
Ungazibulali sana
[Verse 2]
Ooh
If you take my hand I'll show you how to dream
[Verse 3]
Ayifanelang' ub' iyenzeka lento
Emzini kabawo
Kunge kudala
[Verse 4]
Sizozabalaza
Sizozabalaza thina
Sizozabalaza
Sizozabalaza
Sizozabalza
Emzini kabawo
Emzini kabawo
Sizozabalaza thina
[Verse 5]
Ndivuk' ekuseni
Ndiyom' ezitradweni
Ndibelek' usana lwami ndiyocel' imali
[Verse 6]
Mina ndihamb' ezinzulwini zobusuku
Ndizilibaza
Ngizikhohlisa zonk' inhlungu zam'
[Verse 7]
Ayifanelang' ub' iyenzeka lento
Emzini kabawo
Kunge kudala
[Verse 8]
Sizozabalaza
Sizozabalaza thina
Sizozabalaza
Emzini kabawo
Emzini kabawo
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey
Sizozabalaza thina
[Verse 9]
Sizo
Sizozabalaza thina
[Verse 10]
For their blood, sweat and tears
For their struggle and pain
'Cause they gave up their lives for this
And it makes me wanna scream
When I see things this way
Come and see what I see every day
[Verse 11]
Ooh Insana zilele zingadlanga
Maye maye
Ooh Intanga zam' zibulawa yingculazi
Ooh thina silal' emikhukhwini
Emzini kabawo
Emzini kabawo
Kutheni kunje?
Kutheni kunjena la?
Kutheni kunjena emzini kabawo?
[Verse 12]
Thina sizo
Sizozabalaza
Sizozabalaza
Zabalaza
Sizozabalaza
Sizozabalaza
Emzini kabawo
Emzini kabawo
[Verse 13]
Oh sizozabalaza
Oh sizozabalaza
Hey hey
Hey, sizozabalaza
Sizozabalaza
Sizozabalaza
Sizozabalaza
Zabalaza
Sizozabalaza
Zabalaza
