Goodbye To The Village |
| Around the strangers moved, the shouts I felt within |
| New panoramas seen (I loved it as it was) |
| Forests of pylons built, the scaffolding is raised |
| And how the men pursue their work |
| They act convinced of freedom |
| Crossed over by the bridge |
| The brook was running ill |
| We recognised the place — places we knew as children |
| We wept upon the sight and progress tore our hearts |
| Fences divide the land, homes boxed like rabbit hutches |
| Goodbye to the village |
| Goodbye to the village |
| Where soil will not provide, no king and land are one |
| Monopolize the holy ground, all that we hold as sacred |
| No harvest moon shall rise, no valley homestead seen |
| And now the cities never end, and how the cities stretch forever |
| And in the morning promise me great times will come again |
| And the homelands in our hearts will never fade away |
| Let the legends promise me the earth shall rise again |
| And homelands in the hearts of men shall never fade away |
| Goodbye to the village |
| Goodbye to the village |
| Goodbye to the village |
| Goodbye to the village |
| I’ll never never see my home |
| I’ll never never see my home |
| You’ll never never see your home |
| You’ll never never see your home |
