Curse On You
Mother should know father should go
Battered dreams and broken bones
Living hell when he¹s at home
Fell so much pain
I¹m not to blame
Cannot move cannot breathe
He should die instead of me
Some break away
Some choose to stay
But every scream kept inside
Leaves a scar either way
Chorus
We are on our own
We all die alone
Black eyes broken truth
I¹m still bleeding from a wasted youth
Welcome, to my family picnic
Mantombana
Voices in the air of those gone before sing
"Mana Lapho" [Stand your ground]
There's nowhere to hide which side you stand on
"Mana Lapho" [Stand your ground]
The time is drawing near, can you hear
"Mana Lapho"
Chorus:
"Mana Lapho" we ndoda
Can you hear a long sungg sun of freedom
Bana manga we 'ndoda bathu iculo lethu sedifile
[They tell lies oh man for they say our song of freedom is dead]
Mana Lapho mana la
Mana Lapho
Mana Lapho mana hawu tiyoyo loo
Mana nans' indaba isho ngefreedom
[Stand your ground for here is a matter
And it speaks of freedom]
I am standing here -- you are there
"Mana Lapho"
In between the lies there lies the truth of what is just
"Mana Lapho"
In between lies there lies the truth of what is fair
"Mana Lapho"
Chorus
