Zabalaza by Thandiswa Mazwai Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gogo bek' umthwalo
Kunin' uhlupheka
Little ghetto child
Ungazibulali sana
Ooh!
If you take my hand
I'll show you how to dream

[Pre-Chorus]
Ayifanelang' ub' iyenzeka lento
Emzini kabawo
Kungekudala

[Chorus]
Sizozabalaza (zabalaza, zabalaza)
Sizozabalaza thina (zabalaza)
Sizozabalaza (zabalaza, zabalaza)
Sizozabalaza (zabalaza)
Sizozabalaza (zabalaza, zabalaza)
Emzini kabawo (zabalaza)
Emzini kabawo (zabalaza, zabalaza)
Sizozabalaza thina (zabalaza)
Sizozabalaza
[Verse 2]
Ndivuk' ekuseni
Ndiyom' ezitratweni
Ndibelek' usana lwami, ndiyocel' imali
Mna ndihamb' ezinzulwini zobusuku
Ndizilibaza ndizikhohlisa zonk' intlungu zam'

[Pre-Chorus]
Ayifanelang' ub' iyenzeka lento
Emzini kabawo
Kungekudala

[Chorus]
Sizozabalaza (zabalaza, zabalaza)
Sizozabalaza thina (zabalaza)
Sizozabalaza (zabalaza, zabalaza)
Sizozabalaza (zabalaza)
Sizozabalaza (zabalaza, zabalaza)
Emzini kabawo (zabalaza)
Emzini kabawo (zabalaza, zabalaza)
Sizozabalaza thina (zabalaza)
Sizozabalaza

[Bridge]
Sizozabalaza thina
For the blood sweat and tears
For the struggle and pain
'Cos they gave up their lives for this
And it makes me wanna scream
When I see things this way
Come and see what I see everyday
Ooh, iinsana zilele zingadlanga, maye maye
Ooh iintanga zam zibulawa yingculaza
Ooh thina silal' emikhukhwini
Emzini kabawo, emzini kabawo
Kutheni kunje?
Kutheni kunjena na?
Kutheni kunjena emzini kabawo?
Thina sizo
[Chorus]
Sizozabalaza (zabalaza, zabalaza)
Sizozabalaza thina (zabalaza)
Sizozabalaza (zabalaza, zabalaza)
Sizozabalaza (zabalaza)
Sizozabalaza (zabalaza, zabalaza)
Emzini kabawo (zabalaza)
Emzini kabawo (zabalaza, zabalaza)
Sizozabalaza thina (zabalaza)
Sizozabalaza
