Indonsa Kusa - Nduduzo Makhathini

Before the sunrise

Afrika starred at her daughters

Beautiful as they are

She cried from her belly

«What went wrong?»

Joalo ka masekha a lla

The doesn’t have names

Named after rivers

The daughters are maniacs

Old Rhodesia you change your name

Great Zimbabwe, you became

When Zaire set the bar and Congo rose

She still starred

Daughters without names

As they cosputed what was there

Made covenants

It was slave masters

Afrika mosadi, she cried

Afrika mosadi, she cried

She cried, she cried

«What went wrong?»

«What went wrong?»

Joalo ka mosadi wa

She cried

People liberate yourselves

Afrika mosadi, she cried

She cried

That they might just be loved with nothing

Or nothing, nothing again

Or nothing, nothing again
