Title: Vusi Mahlasela performs "When You Come Back Post by: Tyehimba on April 09, 2017, 12:43:50 PM Vusi Mahlasela "When You Come Back" from Live 8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akFP6Y5bLEs#)
This is the unknown grave The one who died maintaining his might His will been so strong and musically inclined His sad melodies coming out like smoke from the woody fire Confessing who died last night, Who died this morning, And why One dangerous mind for million graves Look down into the grave and do not weep Skeletons confessing the last of music, culture and belief Skeletons confessing the age of lamentations, The age of broken minds and souls I picked up the soil from this unknown grave and blew it up with the wind as to make reference one day And I said Mayibuye iAfrica Sing now Africa Sing loud Sing to the people Let them give something to the world and not just take from it And we’ll ring the bells when you come back We’ll beat the drums when you come back home Our lost African music will turn into the music of the people Yes, the people's music, for the people's culture And I'll be the one who'll climb up the mountain Reaching for the top of our Africa dais While the poor women working for the lazy Africa sing We'll ring the bells when you come back (When you come back) We'll beat the drums when you come back (When you come back) |
