Nizalwa Ngobani? by Thandiswa Mazwai Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus]
The world changes, revolutionaries die
And the children forget
The ghetto is our first love
And our dreams are drenched in gold
We don't even cry
We don't even cry
About it no more
Are the beautiful ones really dead?

[Chorus]
Nizilibel' uba nizalwa ngobani? (Oh nizalwa ngobani)
Nizilibel' uba nizalwa ngobani na? (Oh nizalwa ngobani)
Nizilibel' uba nizalwa ngobani? (Oh nizalwa ngobani)
Nizilibel 'uba nizalwa ngobani na? (Oh nizalwa ngobani)

Iintlungu zonina belilel' iinsuku zobomi babo
Iintlungu zobawo, zobawo, zobawo
Befel' ilizwe lakho

[Bridge]
Hey uzigqibil' izindaba eRhawutini ungumama
(Z'gqibil' izindaba Rhawutini ungumama)
Hey uzigqibil' izindaba eRhawutini ungumama
(Z'gqibil'izindaba Rhawutini' ungumama)
Uzigqibil' izindaba eRhawutini ungumama
(Z'gqibil' izindaba Rhawutini ungumama)
Uzigqibil' izindaba eRhawutini ungutata
Uzigqibil' izindaba (Ntlungu zonina, ntlungu zobawo)
Belil' insuku zobomi benu (Ntlungu zonina, ntlungu zobawo)
Belil' insuku zobomi benu
[Pre-Chorus]
The world changes, revolutionaries die
And the children forget
The ghetto is our first love
And our dreams are drenched in gold
We don't even cry
We don't even cry
About it no more
Are the beautiful ones really dead?

Ntlungu zobawo belwel' iinguquko
Ntlungu zonina belilela wena
Int' oyaziyo kuzigqib' iindab' eGoli
Ntlungu zobawo befel' iinguquko
Ntlungu zonina belilela wena
Int'oyaziyo kuzigqib' iindab' eGoli

[Bridge]
Hey uzigqibil' izindaba eRhawutini' ungumama
(Z'gqibil' izindaba Rhawutini' ungumama)
Hey uzigqibil' zindaba eRhawutini' ungumama
(Z'gqibil' izindaba Rhawutini' ungumama)
Uzigqibil' izindaba eRhawutini' ungumama
(Z'gqibil' izindaba Rhawutini' ungumama)
Uzigqibil' izindaba eRhawutini' ungutata
Uzigqibil' izindaba
