Текст и перевод песни Sjava - Abangani

Abangani

Ngithi mangikhumbula (mang'khumbula)
Lapho ngiphuma khona (phumakhona)
Bekhungekho lula
But I made it anyway
Ngithi mangikhumbula mama (mang'khumbula)
Lapho ngiphuma khona (phumakhona)
Bekhungekho lula
But I made it anyway
Kwakungekona ukuhlakanipha kwam'
Nam' ngasizwa yinkab' zam'
UMama wathi ngibonise abangani bakho
And I will show you your future
Talking Hendrix

Abesekho abangani
Mawumtholile bong' umdali
Ngoba la ngaphandle
Kunzima ngiyatshela wemfethu
Sihamba ney'nyoka
Inyoka eziy'biza abafwethu
I thank God for le'ynkab' enginazo
Lokhu ngiphusha ngiphanda nazo
They saved me
Bafakha iFull tank
Maku "E" (yeah! yeah!)
Ngithi mangikhumbula (mang'khumbula)
Lapho ngiphuma khona (phumakhona)
Bekhungekho lula
But I made it anyway
Ngithi mangikhumbula mama (mang'khumbula)
Lapho ngiphuma khona (phumakhona)
Bekhungekho lula
But I made it anyway
UMama told me not to trust abangani
Where I grew up there is no opportunity
Just drugs and violence Avalon and Sun City
Amagumsha are the only ones feeding their families
All my life I believed I would be nothing
When you become the one they treat you like a king
UMama methi watch the company you keep
But if it wasn't for abangani bami
Where would Msotra be?
Ingelozi zami, zangenza umuntu ebantwini
Right when I thought uNkulunkulu ukhohliwe ngami
Akanandaba ngami
Nga-give(apha) nami
If it wasn't for bona laba abangani bami
Ngabe k'phelile ngami
USatane could've really really had his way with me
UMama methi watch the company you keep
Today I'm glad ukuthi I didn't listen
Ngithi mangikhumbula (mang'khumbula)
Lapho ngiphuma khona (phumakhona)
Bekhungekho lula
But I made it anyway
Ngithi mangikhumbula mama (mang'khumbula)
Lapho ngiphuma khona (phumakhona)
Bekhungekho lula
But I made it anyway
Uman'gkhumbula (I remember, I remember)
Emakhaya
Beyingekho i-creche
Me and my cousins used to play
Ngiyakhumbulaya
Ngale kwezintaba
Beyingekho imvula
One day, I'm gonna make it rain
Ngisakhumbula
Ngibulalwa indlala
Bekungekho ukudla
You don't know the hunger pains
Kwakunokushuba
Lapho eng'phuma khona
Bekungekho lula
But the Lord will make a way
Ngithi mangikhumbula (mang'khumbula)
Lapho ngiphuma khona (phumakhona)
Bekhungekho lula
But I made it anyway
Ngithi mangikhumbula mama (mang'khumbula)
Lapho ngiphuma khona (phumakhona)
Bekhungekho lula
But I made it anyway

Friends

I say I remember (I remember)
Where I come from (where I come from)
It wasn't easy
But I made it anyway
I say I remember mama (I remember)
Where I come from (where I come from)
It wasn't easy
But I made it anyway
It wasn't my wisdom
My mom's prayers helped me
Mama said show me your friends
And I will show you your future
Talking Hendrix
It wasn't my wisdom
My mom's prayers helped me
Mama said show me your friends
And I will show you your future
Talking Hendrix
Those who are no longer friends
May you find peace with the creator
Because out here
It's hard, I tell you, my brother
We walk with the snake
The snake that calls our brothers
I thank God for these friends I have
The ones I hustle and search with
They saved me
They fill up the tank
To the "E" (yeah! yeah!)
I say I remember (I remember)
Where I come from (where I come from)
It wasn't easy
But I made it anyway
I say I remember mama (I remember)
Where I come from (where I come from)
It wasn't easy
But I made it anyway
Mama told me not to trust friends
Where I grew up there is no opportunity
Just drugs and violence Avalon and Sun City
The hustlers are the only ones feeding their families
All my life I believed I would be nothing
When you become the one they treat you like a king
Mama told me to watch the company I keep
But if it wasn't for my friends
Where would Msotra be?
My angels, they made me a person among people
Right when I thought God had forgotten about me
He doesn't care about me
I gave up too
If it wasn't for these my friends
I would be finished
Satan could've really really had his way with me
Mama told me to watch the company I keep
Today I'm glad I didn't listen
I say I remember (I remember)
Where I come from (where I come from)
It wasn't easy
But I made it anyway
I say I remember mama (I remember)
Where I come from (where I come from)
It wasn't easy
But I made it anyway
I remember (I remember, I remember)
Back home
There was no daycare
Me and my cousins used to play
I remember there
Beyond the mountains
There was no rain
One day, I'm gonna make it rain
I still remember
I was being killed by hunger
There was no food
You don't know the hunger pains
There was violence
Where I come from
It wasn't easy
But the Lord will make a way
I say I remember (I remember)
Where I come from (where I come from)
It wasn't easy
But I made it anyway
I say I remember mama (I remember)
Where I come from (where I come from)
It wasn't easy
But I made it anyway
