about

The Africa song, speaks of the injustices black people go through, in their own land. Africa is crying for freedom, black folks all over the world are saying the same thing “ How long will our children die, will we ever be free” ( taken from the song, Africa )“

lyrics

Ngihambile (I have traveled)

Ngibonile (I've seen a lot )

Akaze ngifike ezweni lihle kanjena ( I have never been to a beautiful land like this)

I had to climb the highest mountains

Just to reconnect with my broken pieces

I have crossed Pacific Ocean

Conquered Atlantic Ocean

But from where I am

I can hear my spirit so crystal clear

Calling me deeper

With the voices of triumph

Nkosi sikelela setjhaba sa Africa ( God save Africa)

How long will our children cry

Will we ever be set free

Free to walk in our power

In the land of our ancestors

Nna ke lebone lefatshe le letle( I have seen a beautiful land)

Lefatshe la Afrika ( it's the land of Africa)

Like the sun

I shine bright

When all else had turned dark

The only voices I hear

Are the voices of my ancestors

Calling me deeper

With the voices of triumph

Nkosi sikelela setjhaba SA Africa ( God save Africa)

How long will our children cry

How long will our children die

Will we ever be free

Free from the hands of the colonizer

Se ya lela setjhaba SA Africa ( Africa cries)

Si khalela inkululeko ye zwe Lethu ( for the freedom of our land)

Kuyoze kube nini siguqa phansi ( how long shall we kneel and pray)

Nkosi sikelela ( God rescue us)

Somewhere over the oceans

Higher above the mountains

I can see it

Nna ke lebone lefatshe le letle( I have seen a beautiful land)

Lefatshe la Afrika ( it's the land of Africa)
