juluka - walima 'mabele lyrics

ngaze ngahamba mina
ngashona emoliva
[i have journeyed until i came to the land of mooi river]
umhlaba waphenduka kulonyaka
[for this year the earth has been changed]
ilanga lakhipha umkhovo etsheni
[the hot sun drives creatures out from under the stones]
imvula kayikho madoda
[oh man, there is no rain]
umuntu walima’ mabele
[and a person has ploughed his millet]
chorus:
walima’ mabele [he has ploughed the millet]
walima’ mabele imvula ka yikhoo
[he has ploughed the millet and there is no rain]
madoda [oh men]
walima’ mabele uusizi lupbhokile
[he has ploughed the millet and dest-tution is rife]
madoda
walima’ mabele
the sky is clear across the land
not a cloud for empty hands
who has undone the rain?
waiting for a windy day.
to blow them along to a land of plenty
will i every see your people here again?
’cause i heard them singing
chorus
families turn the dry earth
burning, burning, burning
who has undone the rain?
can it be the answer lies
in a smile from forgotten times
will i ever see your face again?
’cause i heard them singing
chorus
who has undone the rain
i heard your people calling out
on the dry plains of africa
nothing grows, nothing shows a breath of life
dry dust in the morning light
i heard them singing
give them your love — lead them to a land of plenty
will i ever see your people here again?
i heard them singing — i heard them calling out your name
will i ever see your face again?
