Dance Across The Centuries |
| It’s a world of «hang on to what you’ve got» |
| It’s a world of «do or die» |
| I know you never take it serious |
| And you keep your head up high |
| I know you’d like to speak to the manager |
| Oh baby, so would i |
| I never made this crazy world anyway |
| I never made this one way ride |
| For some life offers nothing more |
| Than a struggle or a war |
| A magnum hidden in your drawer |
| You walk away… you want to |
| Dance across the centuries |
| Dance across the sea of time |
| Dance a living memory oh |
| Dance you want to let your spirit shine |
| Every dog wants to be a fat cat |
| Every mouse to be a dog |
| It’s not easy, I can tell you |
| Trying to see through the fog |
| Funny how some of us live it up |
| While others just survive |
| I know you do what you can |
| But all you ever do is time |
| Yaguka lenkunzi emnyama |
| (the black bull has grown old) |
| Kade ihlaba ithetha amalala |
| (long and well it has fought and argued) |
| Yaguka lenkunzi emnyama |
| (the black bull has grown old) |
| Guka 'sithembe kade wawudlelwa |
| (my gating mat grows old, well has it served me) |
| (all things must pass and change) |
