| Impi! |
| wo 'nans' impi iyeza!
|
| Ubani 'bengathinta amabhubesi?
|
| Impi! |
| wo 'nans' impi iyeza!
|
| Ubani 'bengathinta amabhubesi?
|
| Impi! |
| wo 'nans' impi iyeza!
|
| Ubani obengathinta amabhubesi?
|
| Impi! |
| wo 'nans' impi iyeza!
|
| Ubani obengathinta amabhubesi?
|
| All along the river Chelmsford’s army lay asleep
|
| Come to crush the Children of Mageba
|
| Come to exact the Realm’s price for peace
|
| And in the morning as they saddled up to ride
|
| Their eyes shone with the fire and the steel
|
| The General told them of the task that lay ahead:
|
| To bring the People of the Sky to heel
|
| Impi! |
| wo 'nans' impi iyeza
|
| Ubani 'bengathinta amabhubesi?
|
| Impi! |
| wo 'nans' impi iyeza!
|
| Ubani obengathinta amabhubesi?
|
| Mud and sweat on polished leather
|
| Warm rain seeping to the bone
|
| They rode through the season’s wet weather
|
| Straining for a glimpse of the foe
|
| Hopeless battalion destined to die
|
| Broken by the Benders of Kings
|
| Vain glorious General and Victorian pride
|
| Would cost him and eight hundred men their lives
|
| Impi! |
| wo 'nans' impi iyeza
|
| Ubani 'bengathinta amabhubesi?
|
| Impi! |
| wo 'nans' impi iyeza!
|
| Ubani obengathinta amabhubesi?
|
| They came to the side of a mountain
|
| Scouts rode out to spy the land
|
| Even as the Realm’s soldiers lay resting
|
| Mageba’s forces were soon at hand
|
| And by the evening, the vultures were wheeling
|
| Above the ruins where the fallen lay
|
| An ancient song as old as the ashes
|
| Echoed as Mageba’s warriors marched away
|
| Impi! |
| wo 'nans' impi iyeza
|
| Ubani 'bengathinta amabhubesi?
|
| Impi! |
| wo 'nans' impi iyeza!
|
| Ubani obengathinta amabhubesi?
|
| Yash' inkani babhemu
|
| Wo 'nans' impi iyeza!
|
| Yash' inkani babhemu
|
| Seng' bonile
|
| Yash' inkani babhemu
|
| Seng’bonile
|
| Yash' inkani babhemu
|
| Haw nkonyane kandaba
|
| Haw ngithi yasha ngempela
|
| Yash' inkani babhemu
|
| Seng’bonile
|
| Wenkonyane kaNdaba
|
| Seng’bonile
|
| Yansh' inkani babhemu!
|
| Impi! |
