Uyephi Unembeza
Bantu bakithi abamnyama kunezinkinga ezihlasele kulomhlaba, abusafiki
nobuthongo bokulala, ngicabanga ngifikelwa nawukukhala ngaloludaba
oluhlasele kulomhlaba, olunzima oselehlule nabadala
Ngikhala ngobuhlungu obenziwa kulomhlaba
Kunabantu abamnyama njengathi, abancane nabadala njengathi, baphilisa
kabi umpakathi, bajabulele ukuchitha igazi
Uma singahlala singanyakazi bazogcina beqedile ngathi
Safa saphela kanti uyephi unembeza
CHORUS (x2):
Ngiyamemeza ngibona igazi ligeleza
Safa saphela kanti uyephi unembeza
Izolo ebusuku ngihlangane nengane, ingane encane eneshumi nanye
ihamba yodwa bengekho abanye, izinyembezi zigcwele emehlweni
Ayinakhaya ihlala emgwaqeni, iyinakudla ithembele emgwaqeni
Ngingowesifazane bhuti oyintandane
Bangishaya ngoswazi oluncane, bangibulalela bonke abazali, bathatha
konke enganginakho, nobuntombi bami bahamba nabo, akusekho lutho
engingakwenza, ukufa nakho ngiyakubona kuyeza
Basaqhubeka ngoba ababoshwanga
Translation:
Beautiful African people we have a problem attacking our nation
I can't even sleep at night thinking and crying over and over about this
situation that seems to destroy own world
It has grown bigger and bigger that even elders cannot handle it
I'm talking about the tragedy that is happening to this world
There are people with the same colour as us, people who are young and
older than us, they are giving our communities a hard time by happily
killing other people
If we sit down and do nothing about it they will finish us all
We are all dying and they don't even care
CHORUS:
I am screaming as I watch the blood flowing down, we are all dying
people where is your messy?
I am screaming as I watch the blood flowing down, we are all dying
people where is your messy?
Yesterday I met this young woman of at least eleven years old
walking alone in the alley, she had tears in her eyes
She is homeless as she lives there on the alley
She has no food but she survives by the rubbish bins’ food
“I am a young woman without parents
They killed my parents and took away everything I had
They even stole away my virginity
Now there is nothing more left for me to live for
I might also pass on any time from now
They are still going on killing because they were not convicted”
