Zithande


Abo Mjongeni bavaya nge Mercedes
Mna no
Carolina siyakorobha

Asikhalazi! Sityisa aboo mamisa
Mna no
Carolina siyasebenza

Bagqithile nabooMatiba

Ngoku bekusithiwa uzasisindisa

Kanti walile naye u
That Umbeke
Phofu mna no
Carolina besimbona?

Nabomadam basithathela phantsi, bathethela phezulu
Siyababona

Nama-owu ethu awas'khathalelanga, asphathel' ingculaza
Siyababona

Bagqithile naboo
Mahatma, ngoku bekusithiwa uzasisindisa

Kanti walile naye u
Ma Mariya, phofu mna noCarolina
Siyamxolela?
Bamb' isandla sam, sibhabhe emafini

Mna no
Carolina siyanicela
Yekan' ukuzicingela, mamela umaDlamini

Mna no
Carolina, siyanimema

Bagqithile naboo
Verwoerd, ngoku bekusithiwa uzasihlukumeza

Kanti walile nay' u
Pik Botha, phofu mna no
Carolina
Besimbona?

(The Mjongeni's are driving around in Mercedes
Me and Carolina we scrub the floors
We're not complaining
We're feeding the small mouths

Me and Carolina we are working

Gone by are the Matiba's
When we'd hoped that they would save us

And failed has That Umbeke
Although we saw him coming

And the madams they take us so low by speaking so high

But we see through them

And our boyfriends, they don't care about us

They bring us AIDS
We see through them

Gone by have the Mahatma's
When it was hoped they would save us

And failed has Mother Mary
Me and Carolina saw it coming

Hold my hand and may we fly in the clouds

Me and Carolina ask you to stop being so selfish
Listen

Me and Carolina we invite you

Gone by have the Verwoerd's
When it was said that they would destroy us

And failed has Pik Botha
But me and Carolina, we saw it coming)

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
