Johnny Clegg, Soweto Gospel Choir - Jongosi Lyrics

Today is the reckoning
Today we hold the line
Today is the quickening
Of the blood and the soul and the mind
I see the color of spirit
I see the color of pain
I see the color of brotherhood
In the burning rain

yalelele yalelele
Hayi wemajongosi, hayi wemajongosi, hayi wemajongosi
Azovimba phambili

These are the days you will remember ( Hayi wemajongosi )
These are the days of dreams ( Hayi wemajongosi )
These are the days of no-surrender ( Hayi wemajongosi, azovimba phambili )
We are the river running ( Hayi wemajongosi )
We are the mighty sea ( Hayi wemajongosi )
Feel the spirit and the power ( Hayi wemajongosi, azovimba phambili )

Today we stand together ( Hayi wemajongosi )
Today we hold the line ( Hayi wemajongosi )
Today we live forever ( Hayi wemajongosi, azovimba phambili )

Hayi wemajongosi, hayi wemajongosi, hayi wemajongosi
Azovimba phambili
Hayi wemajongosi, hayi wemajongosi, hayi wemajongosi
Azovimba phambili

I can feel your heart beat
Like a warrior's drum
I can see your eyes on fire
Like the flame in the sun
I see lives in the balance
I can see the future on hold
I feel a hurricane
And courage in the bone

yalelele yalelele
Hayi wemajongosi, hayi wemajongosi, hayi wemajongosi
Azovimba phambili

These are the days you will remember ( Hayi wemajongosi )
These are the days of dreams ( Hayi wemajongosi )
These are the days of no-surrender ( Hayi wemajongosi, azovimba phambili )
We are the river running ( Hayi wemajongosi )
We are the mighty sea ( Hayi wemajongosi )
Feel the spirit and the power ( Hayi wemajongosi, azovimba phambili )

Today we stand together ( Hayi wemajongosi )
Today we hold the line ( Hayi wemajongosi )
Today we live forever ( Hayi wemajongosi, azovimba phambili )
Hayi wemajongosi, hayi wemajongosi, hayi wemajongosi
Azovimba phambili
Hayi wemajongosi, hayi wemajongosi, hayi wemajongosi
Azovimba phambili
