Chorus

Wemadiliza, wemadiliz' inkani!

Ijwanasibeki langenzani!

Wemadiliza, wemadiliz' inkani!

Ijwanasibeki langenzani!

Qed' inkani eyamadoda!

Ijwanasibeki langenzani -- zabalaza wemfana!

Ijwanasibeki langenzani -- wemaqed' inkani!

Blow whistle blow

Down you go alive

The cage is falling

Like a comet in the night

Beads of sweat glisten

In the underground light

Smoulder boudler

Rock reeks fumes

Songs of the outlands

Change colour when shift is due

And you've grown a little older

Seen bone blown smoking blue!

Chorus

Grow city grow

Ten thousand men below

Bleed the burning womb

Make the sun-rock show

In the wider horizon

Where a million lifetimes flow

And you know the secret

That glitters and glues the best

Like the feathers of a dead bird

That feather the next bird's nest

Jwanasibeki!

Tomorro, tomorro, tomorro

Wo-hum-m-wo-hum!

Wo-hum-wo-lo-lo-ma!

Chorus

Can you hear, can you hear me

Can you hear, can you hear me

In the wider horizon

There's a life-song

All my life gone

In a mine song

I shake the world beneath your feet

'cause i'm just working a little bit
