Khona phansi ephefeni engzalwa khona

Bhu! Uthini uSlahla-mathende?

You Say I Must Keep Quiet

I’m working, I’m working hard
I am slaving away at my job
I’m working, I’m working hard
I am slaving away at my job

But my white bosses don't appreciate it
But my white bosses don't appreciate it
But my white bosses insult me
But my white bosses insult me
They say, "This person, where is he from?"
They say, "This person, where is he from?"

You say I must keep quiet, you say I must keep quiet
How can I keep quiet when these white people are messing with me like this?
(You say I must keep quiet when these white people are messing with me like this)
They say I must keep quiet (You say I must keep quiet when these white people are messing with me like this)
But how can I keep quiet? (You say I must keep quiet when these white people are messing with me like this)
I can't keep quiet (I can't keep quiet when these white people are messing with me they say I must keep quiet)
Oh, I can't keep quiet (I can't keep quiet, keep quiet when these white people are messing with me they say I must keep quiet)
Oh, I can't keep quiet (I can't keep quiet, keep quiet when these white people are messing with me they say I must keep quiet)
(You say I must keep quiet when these white people are messing with me like this)

Phuzekhemisi has arrived!
He really hit hard, Majazana's son
Down there in the valley where he was born
The Makhoya River I drink from, I've been drinking it for a long time
There at Dumisa's in Mkhomazi
That's where Ngwazi's son comes from
EPotchefstroom where I took this blanket
Boo! What does Slahla-mathende say?

I’m working, I’m working hard
I am slaving away at my job
I am slaving away at my job
Oh, but my white bosses don't appreciate it
Oh, but my white bosses insult me
Oh, but my white bosses insult me
They say, "This person, where is he from?"
They say, "This person, where is he from?"

You say I must keep quiet, you say I must keep quiet
How can I keep quiet when these white people are messing with me like this?
(You say I must keep quiet when these white people are messing with me like this)
They say I must keep quiet (You say I must keep quiet when these white people are messing with me like this)
They say how can I keep quiet? (You say I must keep quiet when these white people are messing with me like this)
Oh, I can't keep quiet (I can't keep quiet when these white people are messing with me they say I must keep quiet)
Oh, I can't keep quiet (I can't keep quiet when these white people are messing with me they say I must keep quiet)
I can't keep quiet (I can't keep quiet when these white people are messing with me they say I must keep quiet)
But how can I keep quiet? (You say I must keep quiet when these white people are messing with me like this)
