Soweto Blues - Miriam Makeba (米瑞安·马卡贝)

The children got a letter

From the master

It said no more Xhosa

Sotho no more Zulu

Refusing to comply

They sent an answer

That's when the policemen

Came to the rescue

Children were flying

Bullets dying

The mothers screaming

And crying

The fathers were

Working in the cities

The evening news

Brought out all the publicity

Just a little atrocity

Deep in the city

There was a full moon

On the golden city

Looking at the door

Was the man without pity

Accusing everyone of conspiracy

Tightening the curfew

Charging people with walking

Yes the border is

Where he was awaiting

Waiting for the children

Frightened and running

A handful got away

But all the others

Hurried their chain

Without any publicity

Just a little atrocity

Deep in the city
