Lyrics and translation Simphiwe Dana - Nzinga

Nzinga

Lalisitsho
Lisithi
Ilizwe lifile
Ilizwe liphelile
Ilizwe liphelile

Lalisitsho
Liphuma
Entshonalanga
Nge ke kutshintshe
Ilizwe lifile
Lalisitsho Ilizwe lifile

Ndiphuma kinking yako
Ndiphuma kwimilambo yakho
Ndemka nemilambo mama
Ndingenakho
Ndingenakho

Ndihlala ndikhangela
Ndikhangela
Ubuhle
Ubuhle bakho
Ngobukho bethu emhlabeni
Undenza ndiqhaqhe izono zam

Ndiphuma kwizinga yakho
Ndiphuma kwimilambo yakho
Ndemka Ndemka Ndemka nemilambo
Tata
Ndingenakho
Ndingenakho

Ndihlala ndikhangela
Ndikhangela
Ubuso
Ubuso bakho
Ngobukho bethu emhlabeni
Undenza ndiqhaqhe izono zam

Ndikhangela
Ubuso bakho
Ndikhangela
Emadlakeni bo
Kwampil'a ay'ithanjiswa
Phesheya ngaphaya
Uphuma phi na
Ndiye khona

Ndibonise
Amandla ngawethu
Funga phezu kwengwaba likaHani
LikaBiko
LikaTambo
LikaMadiba

Nzinga

Invocation
Listen
The land is dead
The land is finished
The land is finished

Invocation
It comes
From the east
Nothing can make it change
The land is dead
Invocation The land is dead

I come from your vagina
I come from your rivers
I go with the rivers
I have no
I have no

I keep looking
Looking
Beauty
Your beauty
While we are on Earth
You make me confess my sins

I come from your vagina
I come from your rivers
I go I go I go with the rivers
Daddy
I have no
I have no

I keep looking
Looking
Face
Your face
While we are on Earth
You make me confess my sins

I look
Your face
I look
In the waters
In the soup that was touched
Over yonder
Where did you come from
I am here

Show me
The power is with us
Think about the grave of Hani
Of Biko
Of Tambo
Of Madiba
