Lyrics

iGqhira le dlela, ngu qongqothwane
ngu qongqothwane, ngu qongqothwane
iGqhira le dlela, hayi bo, ngu qongqothwane
hayi bo ngu qongqothwane, ngu qongqothwane
Dry Barren, Dirt Roads
The ancient compass
Of where my people walked.
Barefoot I am told
Wore their loin cloths with pride
Told stories of old
And anywhere they would ride.
They talked ...all night
They danced .... all night
They sang.... all night
Ancient as the celestial sky,
Guided by the moon
None of the white man’s doom,
Not a word as soon,
Never a day of gloom...
They were never lost...
No borders, ... They roamed free
No orders, only our free will
The dung beetle is the doctor of the road they say
igQhira le dlela ngu qonqotwane
Qamata God, he was
Qamata our God, with a capital G.
Seleqabela eqitha apha!
My people were never lost,
Heathens they were not
Nature’s help at their side
Natives with pride.
They made good of the soil
The land still ours, we were happy to toil
Time was never too soon
Guided by the moon
Knew no western gloom
Only nature’s bloom.
Seleqabela eqitha apha!
iGqhira le dlela, ngu qongqothwane
ngu qongqothwane, ngu qongqothwane
iGqhira le dlela, hayi bo, ngu qongqothwane
hayi bo ngu qongqothwane, ngu qongqothwane
Seleqabela eqitha apha!
