Dzimbava (Nkandla)

Bomepome ndi la mini mudini wa Nkandla
Na kani haa u hone mulandu
we sa muungu wa sina
wa fadala sa mapfuvhi tshilimo

Kani ha inwi vhathu ni mabofu
Zwa mudi dorobo ani zwi vhoni
Zwine na tangulwa masiari li ntha ha thoho
tshanu havha tshilomo ndundundu

Vheiwe ani magoswi
Ni lushaka lwa vhahali
No kunda mabunyu Phiphidi
Zwino museto matoni ndi wa mini

Ambani ha ndi pfe
Lwavha lungano lu pfuvhe
Ni si fele felo sa bete
Ngeno ngoho i khagala

Ambani vhavhi vha kungumale
Tshavha tshinwi tsha Nkandla tshi twanzuwe
Lushaka lu wane phodzo
Sa bofu la Dzherikho

Asina Vhungoho ndi mbava
U fhirwa nga pfene
Line nau vhifha halo
Vhusiku mavhele leri thi fari

Vheiwe kani ni dzi mbava
Ni tshi sokou lavhelesa na sedza
Ngeno lushaka lu khou tangulwa
Sa matsilu no sokou donola mato

The Pain I am (She cries)

She cries
Though not so loud
her tears flood my heart

For i know
If time could have it
and we never met
her tears would be dry
her heart filled with joy
her face beaming with smiles

I am that pain
you see on her face
I am that bitter salt
Saturating her tears

When love i promised
i gave a love so weird it hurt
and now i am
that never ending pain in her heart
and she hurts and hate
because of me
how i hate the pain i am.

Amy

You ran so quick
So we could learn to fly
Sang so loud
You raised a piano from the dead

Your hell was here
Stuck between demons
And now you are a gospel
With so much life in your death

You are the angel
That learned to fly so early
It broke it's wings
And now we are all masters

The beat is not the same
Your voice is missing
And your shadow lingers in our hearts
For you sang our hearts out

John Mabila

I don't know you
I dont remember you
But the smoke and the dust
flying high up on the stage
as you strung your guitar
and with a vibrance of youth
wow our ears with ecstatic mellodies

We learned nothing
but we danced until dawn
far away from our troubles
and childhood blues
entangled in your melodic tales
