Makambo Lyrics (Geoffrey Oryema)
Ngibathe Ngicelu XoloI’ve been asking for Peace
Ngatholi nzondoBut all I got was war
Ngibathe Ngecelu thando ma, ah ohI’ve been looking for love
Yiningathi yini ngomhlabaBut I didn’t find togetherness
Yini Singa Funu Zwano ? ah ohWhat is wrong with the world?
Ngibathe Ngicelu XoloWhat is wrong with the people?
Ngatholi nzondo, ah ohWhy don’t we want peace?
Washu mathambo espoki wathiSays the Skeleton of Africa
Africa, Umhlaba ubolileAfrica, the world is rotting
Abantu bane nkohla kaloPeople are turning to evil
Umhlaba ubolileThe world is rotting
Umhlaba unengoziThe world is wounded
Sudan, Rwanda, Angola, Malawi, Liberia, Zaire
Phansingo dlameStop the killing
South Africa: war is never good
Phansingo dlameStop the killing
So why ?So why ?
So why ?So why ?
So why ?So why ?
Africa, Africa will sing – so why ?Africa, Africa will sing – so why ?
The sun in your heart is your smile – so why ?The sun in your heart is your smile – so why ?
Wozani bizanu tula – So why ?Come on, let’s call for peace – zulu


We Have a Map of the Piano ~ Lyrics

Please don't flow so fast
You little mountain hum
I'll take a bottle down to you
Please don't flow this fast
You hold a little hum
I'll bottle sounds of me for you
Please don't flow so fast
You little mountain din
I'll bottle piano sounds from you
Please don't flow so fast
You little mountain noise
I'll close my eyes and bite your tongue
