OH SIZOBAHLULA THINA NAWA
[We will be victorious in the end, just you and me]
OH THINA NAMA
[Just you and me]

I saw the Berlin Wall fall
I saw Mandela walk free
I saw a dream whose time has come
Change my history -- so keep on dreaming

Deam on dreamer, dreamer

In the bst of times and in the worst of times
Gotta keep looking at the skyline
Not at a hole in the road
Your time will come, sister, your time will come
Nobody's gonna rush history, we have to ease it along
-- just ease it along

Votre heure viendra

J'ai vu le mur de Berlin tomber
J'ai vu Mandela marcher libre
J'ai vu un rêve dont l'heure est venue
Change mon histoire - alors continue de rêver

Rêve, rêveur, rêveur

Dans le meilleur des temps et dans le pire des temps
Il faut continuer à regarder l'horizon
Pas un trou dans la route
Votre heure viendra, ma chère, votre heure viendra
Personne ne va précipiter l'histoire, nous devons la faire avancer doucement
-- juste la faire avancer doucement
