Jarusalema Lyrics

Artist: Johnny Clegg & Savuka
Album: African Litany

Sizofika nini
(when will we arrive)
Kuhomhlaba wakiti
(in this[our]world)
Awu ngiphe amandla, 'Nkosi yami
(give me strength, my Lord)
Ikusasa lethu
(our tomorrow)
Lisezandlern zayo
(is in your hands)
Awu siphe amandla, 'Nkosi yami
Inde indlela yase Jarusalema
(the clear road to Jerusalem)
Asazi sizofika nini
(we don't know when we'll arrive)
Abanye bayaduka
(others lose their way)
Thina ngeke silahleke
(we will never stray)
Sihamba nomSindisi
(we walk with the saviour)
Yebo noma kade ngihamba
(and even if I left long ago)
Ngeke ngilahle ithemba
(I will never lose my faith)
Ngihamba nomSindisi
(I walk with the Saviour)
Chorus
Jarusalema! Jarusalema!
Kunzima lomtwalo
(the heavy burden)
Jarusalema! Jarusalema!
Baningi baphela kulomgwago
(many have ended at your gates)
Yebo noma kade nighamba
Ngeke ngilahle ithemba
Ngihamba nomSindisi
Sihambe nomsindisi. umame nabosisi my mother, my sisters Nabobuti and my
brothers Umamazala, umalume My mother in law, uncle,
Chorus
Awu ngiphe amandla 'Nkosi yami! (4x)
Somandla! (4x)
Kuzo kube nini ngiphile lempilo? (repeat)
So'fika nini eJarusalema? (4x)
Bayakhala omame
(they are crying, my mothers)
Nabosisi, nabobuthi
(and my sisters, and my brothers)
Omamazala, omalume
(mothers in law, uncles)
Ogogo, nobabamkulu
(grandfathers and grandmothers)
Bathi: "Maye! Maye! Maye! Maye! Mayebabo!"
(They say "mayebabo" [a severe warning])
