Lyrics Ndize Mama Tata - Simphiwe Dana

Ndize mama tata, ndi-hi-ze mama tata
Ndize mama tata
Ndi-hi-ze mama tata
Ndize mama tata
Ndi-hi-ze mama tata
Ndize mama tata
Ndi-hi-ze mama tata

Wozani ndithe ndithengis'inkumbulo wo

Ndililanga ngonyezi
Ndingumnqweno wezolo
Ndililizwi egazini
Ndisisingqi samaphupha

Ndilithemba balifela
Ndizinyembezi zantshula
Ndililanga liyaphuma
Ndiyingoma yobomi hey
Ndiyingoma yobomi

Ningathi niy've ngam lendaba
Niyayazi nani
Ningathi niy've ngam lendaba
Niyayazi nani

Wozani ndithe ndithengis'inkumbulo wo

Wandizala weh mnt'omnyama
Wandibek'es'hlalweni
Zandisusa izizwe
Zandilahl'ezindongeni

Nyawo zam zondimela
Zoth'ikhona indlela
Ndivumele ndize ndize
Mama ndize ekhaya

Ningathi niy've ngam lendaba
Niyayazi nani
Ningathi niy've ngam lendaba
Niyayazi nani
Ningathi niy've ngam lendaba
Niyayazi nani

Ndilithemba balifela
Ndizinyembezi zantshula
Ndililanga liyaphuma
Ndiyingoma yobomi

Wozani ndithe ndithengis'inkumbulo wo

Ningathi niy've ngam lendaba
Niyayazi nani
Ningathi niy've ngam lendaba
Niyayazi nani
Ningathi niy've ngam lendaba
Niyayazi nani

I know your heart's been brutalized
Your pride has taken quite a knocking
Made you ashamed of who you are
Still they can't take your soul away
Now I know that things don't look too good
Poverty is rife...
