One Man One Vote
Bayeza abafana bancane wema Bayeza abafana bancane wema Baphethe iqwasha, bapethe ibazooka Bathi "Sangena savuma thina, lapha abazance bengena abazali bethu Nabadala, bayasikhalela thina ngoba asinavoti." (The young boys are coming, the young boys are coming. They carry homemade weapons and a bazooka. They say "We have agreed to enter a place that has never been entered before by our parents or our ancestors and they cry for us, for we do not have the right to vote.) Hayiyaah ! The west is sleeping in a fragile freedom Forgotten is the price that was paid Ten thousand years of marching through a veil of tears To break a few links in these chains These things come to us by way of much pain Don't let us slip back into the dark On a visible but distant shore - a new image of man The shape of his own future, now in his own hands - he says : CHORUS One'man, one vote - step inti the future One'man one vote - In a unitary state One'man one vote - it's the only way Bayeza abafana abancane (The young boys are coming) Letras de canciones Hayiyhaa ! In the east a giant is awakening And in the south we feel the rising tide The soul inside the spark that gives breath to your life Can no longer be made to hide These things come to us by way of much pain Don't let us slip back into the dark On a visible but distant shore, a new image of man The shape of his own future, now in his own hands - he says : CHORUS From Letras Mania
