Sky People

Johnny Clegg, Sipho Mchunu

Webaba ungilahlile 'zulu ngasala obala
Webaba ungilahlile 'zulu ngasala obala Hawa!
Ntgasala ngedwa
Sengiphuphe inkunzi emnyama
Sengi phuphe inkunzi ngisaba amazondo, may

Where did the time, time, time go?
My old eyes can hardly see The green fields leaving me behind
I worked for the earth and turned the clay
With a strong heart and steady hand
Seasons wheeled across the sky
I turned around and found that I was old

Trembling heart, body cold
Wind and rain
Take their toll
Perhaps the morning brings a sweet surprise
A new summer will be born
A new hope in the dawn
A honey season, birds and bees
Surging, humming harmonies

The Old Ones gone before
Weep for those they left behind
Their tears fall and rise and wash the earth
The heavens thunder everywhere
When the Ancients dance upon the air
Armies march across the sky
Who knows if they ever will return?

I dream of my coloured cattle in the hills
Of shields in fields of yellow and brown
The drums of Zimbabwe speak
They roll across the great divide
And my future has been
Written in the sky
Smiling spear with teeth of white
Give me strength to face the night
Ancient song, bless my life
Sing me through to see the morning light

Hum-oh-hum
