Lyrics Ibala Lam - Hugh Masekela

Ibala lam le le mnyama
Ngiyaziqhenya ngalo
Ibala lam le le mnyama
Ngiyazidla ngalo
Ibala lam le le mnyama
Ndiyaziqhenya ngalo
Ibala lam le le mnyama
Ngiyazidla ngalo
This brown colour
Is a winner
Is my shining mama
This brown colour
Is a winner
Is my shining mama
This brown colour
Is a winner
Is my shining mama
This brown colour
Is a winner
Is my shining mama
Iyoh
There was a time when i was despised
For my shining mama
Said it used to be a crime
But now its alright
Its my shining mama
I say in love, when I'm in a crowd
Its my shining mama
And my children they might be proud
Of their shining mama
Imma walking tall, having a ball
With my shining mama
You can no longer put me down because I'm brown
Is my shining mama
Ibala lam le le mnyama (hei! Huh mama)
Ndiyaziqhenya ngalo
Ibala lam le le mnyama
Ndiyazidla ngalo
Ibala lam le le mnyama
Ndiyaziqhenya ngalo
Ibala lam le le mnyama
Ndiyazidla ngalo
Ibala lam le le mnyama
Ndiyazidla ngalo
Ibala lam le le mnyama
Ndiyazidla ngalo
