Siyayilanda Lyrics


Chorus
Siyayibamba siyayilanda
Ngithibamba siyayilanda
Sithibamba siyayilanda
Fetch it siyayilanda
(we are fetching our future, grabbing our tomorrow)
RepeatHuman figures in a dream
Heard them singing -- siyayilanda (we are fetching it)
You've got to get up
And carry on sing this song -- siyayilanda
There's a mean machine
Tear the bone clean, tell you
Where I've been -- siyayilanda
Eat, sleep on your feet
You're going to speak -- siyayilandaChorusA falling star in the night
Comfort the weeper -- siyayilanda
You turn to the left and you turn to the right,
Losers, keepers -- siyayilanda

Hold me close I'm trapped in
A night of seasons -- siyayilanda
A new sun rising up ahead
Coming your way -- siyayilandaChorusI can feel it in the air
My day is coming nearer
My day's a little nearer

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Johnny Clegg's second crossover band Savuka takes its name from the Zulu word for "We have risen". Savuka, like Clegg's first band Juluka before it, mixes African music with Celtic folk music and international rock sounds. They recorded four albums: Third World Child (1987), Shadow Man (1988), Cruel, Crazy, Beautiful World (1989), Heat, Dust & Dreams (1993). The last album was nominated for a US Grammy Award for the best world music album in 1993.

In the United States songs performed by Johnny Clegg have appeared in three well-known feature films: "Scatterlings of Africa" in Rain Main, "Dela" in George of the Jungle, and "Life Is a Magic Thing" in the animated film Ferngully.
