Lyrics Malayisha (Live) - Miriam Makeba

Ooh, ba ba ba,
Ooh ba ba ba
Ooh ba ba ba,
Ooh ba ba ba
Ooh, ba ba ba,
Ooh ba ba ba
Ooh ba ba ba,
Ooh ba ba ba

Ezane zembe Malayisha
Ezane zembe Sigawule
Ezane zembe Malayisha
Ezane zembe Sigawule

Ebathi bathi bathi vula Malayisha
Ebathi bathi bathi vula Sigawule
Ebathi bathi bathi vula Malayisha
Ebathi bathi bathi vula Sigawule

Bathi! Ezane zembe Malayisha
Ezane zembe Sigawule
Ezane zembe Malayisha
Ezane zembe Sigawule

In South Africa
Malayisha
Is a lumberjack
Big and strong
With a beautiful back
Girls gather around and try to see
Just how Malayisha chops that tree

Bathi, Izembe...
Bathi, Izembe...

Ebathi bathi bathi vula Malayisha
Bathi bathi bathi vula Sigawule
Ebathi bathi bathi vula Malayisha
Bathi bathi bathi vula Sigawule

Ooh, ba ba ba,
Ooh ba ba ba
Ooh ba ba ba,
Ooh ba ba ba
Ooh, ba ba ba,
Ooh ba ba ba (Bathi, Izembe...)
Ooh ba ba ba,
Ooh ba ba ba
Ooh, ba ba ba,
Ooh ba ba ba
Ooh ba ba ba,
Ooh ba ba ba
Ooh, ba ba ba, (Bathi Izembe...)
Ooh ba ba ba
Ooh ba ba ba,
Ooh ba ba ba
