Human Rainbow |
Baleka uzohaqwa! |
(escape before you are injured!) |
Uwahaqwa! |
(too late he is injured!) |
Webaba sicel’impilo |
(father, give us life, save our lives) |
At the end of all bloody human storms |
As the last embers and flames glow |
We peer up into the wounded sky |
And search for the human rainbow |
And in the fading light I wonder why |
We can never free it from the sky |
Wangitshela lendaba |
(you have told me of this thing) |
I can see it, but never be it, until I free it From the sky |
Chorus |
Same old human story |
The saddest winds do blow |
While we are trapped in the language of dark history |
Underneath a human rainbow |
An angry young man draws in the air |
Political equations |
But time corrupts the fruit they bare |
And leads to more desperation |
While in the sky -- it’s a trick of the light |
Shine the colors of all creation |
Chorus |
Ngizokutshela! |
(I will tell you, that’s how it is). |
Same old human story |
Same old human story |
