Lyrics Manqoba - The Victorious - Johnny Clegg

Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani

Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani
Yithi umanqoba

When I look at all the choices I made in my life
It's like some natural law
When they bring me trouble and strife
I find my way to your door

Like a wheel
Turning round and round
I always find you
And lay my head down

We're like some warriors
From some forgotten war
Recalling songs
From a long forgotten shore

Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani

Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani

Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani

Once we were warriors now we are the playthings of fortune
We always stood on solid ground
Standing back to back, to the wind, we threw caution
Nothing could bring our hearts down

I sometimes feel we are nowhere bound
Then I hear an old familiar sound
It's a song from a time when we were kings
Conquered the world, we flew on eagle's wings

Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani

Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani

Yesterday's gone
And tomorrow is just a dream
All we have is now
Nobody knows
Where the time goes
Where the time goes

Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani

Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani

Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani

Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
