Kwela man 歌詞
Kwela Man - Johnny Clegg/Juluka/Sipho Mchunu
Long ago there was a sound in the night
Kwela man singing under the street light
A cheap guitar he gave his sorrow a smile
And he sowed his songs
In the alley ways mile upon mile
Ye hum ho la lo Kwela man
Ye hum ho la la Kwela Kwela
Ye hum ho la lo Kwela man
You gave it your life
Ye hum ho la lo Kwela man
Ye hum ho la la Kwela Kwela
Ye hum ho la lo Kwela man
You gave it your life
Living low with the Pennywhistle
Tea chest base gang
I followed him home
And he danced as he sang
But now he's gone
Not even the slightest traces
Of a Kwela song and the street
Is full of empty spaces
Ye hum ho la lo Kwela man
Ye hum ho la la Kwela Kwela
Ye hum ho la lo Kwela man
You gave it your life
Ye hum ho la lo Kwela man
Ye hum ho la la Kwela Kwela
Ye hum ho la lo Kwela man
You gave it your life
Nobody knows
Did he survive the winding road
Did he find a song
That took him back to the heartland
Here I stand lost in the memory
Of a Kwela man
Singing in the long gone twilight
When I followed you home Kwela man
You filled my soul Kwela Kwela
When you sang your song Kwela man
You gave it your life
Ye hum ho la lo Kwela man
Ye hum ho la la Kwela Kwela
Ye hum ho la lo Kwela man
You gave it your life
Ye hum ho la lo Kwela man
Ye hum ho la la Kwela Kwela
Ye hum ho la lo Kwela man
You gave it your life
Ye hum ho la lo Kwela man
Ye hum ho la la Kwela Kwela
Ye hum ho la lo Kwela man
You gave it your life
Ye hum ho la lo Kwela man
Ye hum ho la la Kwela Kwela
Ye hum ho la lo Kwela man
You gave it your life
Ye hum ho la lo Kwela man
Ye hum ho la la Kwela Kwela
Ye hum ho la lo Kwela man
