Thandiswa Mazwai - Nizalwa Ngobani? Lyrics

The world changes, revolutionaries die
And the children forget.
The ghetto is our first love
And our dreams are drenched in gold.

We don't even cry,
We don't even cry
About it no more.
Are the beautiful ones really dead?

Nizilibel'uba nizalwa ngobani (Oh nizalwa ngobani)
Nizilibel'uba nizalwa ngobani na
(Oh nizalwa ngobani)
Nizilibel'uba nizalwa ngobani (Oh nizalwa ngobani)
Nizilibel'uba nizalwa ngobani na
(Oh nizalwa ngobani)

Intlungu zoonina belilel'intsuku zobomi babo
Intlungu zobawo, zobawo, zobawo
Befel'ilizwe lakho.

Hey uzigqibil'izindaba eRhawutini'ungumama
Hey uzigqibil'izindaba eRhawutini'ungumama
Uzigqibil'izindaba eRhawutini'ungumama
Uzigqibil'izindaba eRhawutini'ungutata
Uzigqibil'izindaba.

Ntlungu zonina
Ntlungu zobawo
Belilel'iintsuku zobomi benu
Ntlungu zonina
Ntlungu zobawo
Belilel'iintsuku zobomi benu

The world changes, revolutionaries die
And the children forget.(children forget)
The ghetto is our first love
And our dreams are drenched in gold.

We don't even cry,
We don't even cry
About it no more.
Are the beautiful ones really dead?

Ntlungu zobawo belwel'inguquko
Ntlungu zonina belilela wena
Int'oyaziyo kuzigqib'iindab'eGoli.
Ntlungu zobawo befel'inguquko
Ntlungu zonina belilela wena
Int'oyaziyo kuzigqib'iindab'eGoli.

Hey uzigqibil'izindaba eRhawutini'ungumama
Hey uzigqibil'izindaba eRhawutini'ungumama
Uzigqibil'izindaba eRhawutini'ungumama
Uzigqibil'izindaba eRhawutini'ungutata
Uzigqibil'izindaba.
