Johnny Clegg - Manqoba (The Victorious) Lyrics

Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba sesanqob' izizwe
Uma ufuna thina woza ozodel' inkani

Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba sesanqob' izizwe
Uma ufuna thina woza ozodel' inkani

When I look at all the choices I made in my life
It's like some natural law
When they bring me trouble to strive
I find my way to your door
Like wheel turning round and round
I always find you and lay my head down
We're like some worriers from some forgotten war
Recalling song from a long forgotten show

Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba sesanqob' izizwe
Uma ufuna thina woza ozodel' inkani

Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba sesanqob' izizwe
Uma ufuna thina woza ozodel' inkani

Bazohlala ababhengu
Bazohlala ababhengu
Bazohlala ababhengu
Obazohlala ababhengu

Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba sesanqob' izizwe
Uma ufuna thina woza ozodel' inkani

Once we were worriers now we are the play things of fortune
We always stood on solid ground
Standing back to back to the wind we through cossion
Nothing could bring owed hearts down
I sometimes feel we are no where bound
Then I hear an old familiar sound
It's a song from a time we were kings
Concoured the world we flew on eagles wind

Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba sesanqob' izizwe
Uma ufuna thina woza ozodel' inkani

Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba sesanqob' izizwe
Uma ufuna thina woza ozodel' inkani

Yesterday is gone
And tomorrow is just a dream
All we have is now
Nobody knows where the time goes
Where the time goes

Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba sesanqob' izizwe
Uma ufuna thina woza ozodel' inkani

Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba sesanqob' izizwe
Uma ufuna thina woza ozodel' inkani

Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba sesanqob' izizwe
Uma ufuna thina woza ozodel' inkani

Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba sesanqob' izizwe
Uma ufuna thina woza ozodel' inkani
