Manqoba (The Victorious) Lyrics

Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkaniYithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani
Yithi umanqobaWhen I look at all the choices I made in my life
It's like some natural law
When they bring me trouble and strife
I find my way to your doorLike a wheel
Turning round and round
I always find you
And lay my head downWe're like some warriors
From some forgotten war
Recalling songs

From a long forgotten shoreYithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkaniYithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani[Foreign Content]Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkaniOnce we were warriors now we are the playthings of fortune
We always stood on solid ground
Standing back to back, to the wind, we threw caution
Nothing could bring our hearts downI sometimes feel we are nowhere bound
Then I hear an old familiar sound
It's a song from a time when we were kings
Conquered the world, we flew on eagle's wingsYithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkaniYithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkaniYesterday's gone
And tomorrow is just a dream
All we have is now
Nobody knows
Where the time goes
Where the time goesYithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkaniYithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkaniYithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkaniYithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
