Impi - Johnny Clegg/Juluka
Impi
Wo nans impi iyeza
Obani bengathinta amabhubesi
Impi wo nans impi iyeza
Obani bengathinta amabhubesi
Impi wo nans impi iyeza
Obani bengathinta amabhubesi
Impi wo nans impi iyeza
Obani bengathinta amabhubesi
All along the river chelmsfords army lay asleep
Come to crush the children of mageba
Come to exact the realms price for peace
And in the morning as they saddled up to ride
Their eyes shone with the fire and the steel
The general told them of the task that lay ahead
To bring the people of the sky to heel
Impi wo nans impi iyeza
Obani bengathinta amabhubesi
Impi wo nans impi iyeza
Obani bengathinta amabhubesi
Mud and sweat on polished leather
Warm rain seeping to the bone
They rode through the seasons wet weather
Straining for a glimpse of the foe
Hopeless battalion destined to die
Broken by the benders of kings
Vainglorious general and victorian pride
Would cost him and eight hundred men their lives
Impi wo nans impi iyeza
Obani bengathinta amabhubesi
Impi wo nans impi iyeza
Obani bengathinta amabhubesi
They came to the side of the mountain
Scouts rode out to spy the land
Even as the realms soldiers lay resting
Magebas forces were soon at hand
And by the evening the vultures were wheeling
Above the ruins where the fallen lay
An ancient song as old as the ashes
Echoed as magebas warriors marched away
Impi wo nans impi iyeza
Obani bengathinta amabhubesi
Impi wo nans impi iyeza
Obani bengathinta amabhubesi
Impi wo nans impi iyeza
Obani bengathinta amabhubesi
Impi wo nans impi iyeza
Obani bengathinta amabhubesi
Impi wo nans impi iyeza
Obani bengathinta amabhubesi
Impi wo nans impi iyeza
Obani bengathinta amabhubesi
Impi wo nans impi iyeza
