Lyrics

Ngomhla sibuyayo, ngomhla sibuyayo
Ngomhla sibuyayo, kophalal'igazi!
Ngomhla sibuyayo, ngomhla sibuyayo
Ngomhla sibuyayo, kophalal'igazi!
Bakhala uVorster! Bakhala uVorster!
Ngomhla sibuyayo, kophalal'igazi!
Ngomhla sibuyayo, ngomhla sibuyayo
Ngomhla sibuyayo, kophalal'igazi!
Ngomhla sibuyayo…
(Huh, huh, huh, huh)
September '77
Port Elizabeth weather fine
It was business as usual
In police room 619
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
The man is dead, the man is dead
(Huh, huh, huh, huh)
(Huh, huh, huh, huh)
Huh-da, huh-da, huh-da, huh-da, huh-da
(Huh, huh, huh, huh)
(Huh, huh, huh, huh)
When I try and sleep at night
I can only dream in red
The outside world is black and white
With only one colour dead
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
The man is dead, the man is dead
(Huh, huh, huh, huh)
(Huh, huh, huh, huh)
(Huh, huh, huh, huh)
(Huh, huh, huh, huh)
You can blow out a candle
But you can't blow out a fire
Once the flame begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
The man is dead, the man is dead
(Huh, huh, huh, huh)
(Huh, huh, huh, huh)
And the eyes of the world are watching now
(Huh, huh, huh, huh)
Watching now
(Huh, huh, huh, huh)
(Huh, huh, huh, huh)
Oh, oh, ohhh
Oh, oh, ohhh
Oh, oh, ohhh (La-la-la-na-ha)
Oh, oh, ohhh (La-la-la-na-ha) (Said Biko, Biko)
Oh, oh, ohhh (La-la-la-na-ha) (Said Biko, Biko, said Biko, Biko)
Oh, oh, ohhh (La-la-la-na-ha) (Said Biko, Biko, said Biko, Biko)
(Ohh!) Oh, oh, ohhh (La-la-la-na-ha) (Said Biko, Biko, said Biko, Biko)
Oh, oh, ohhh (La-la-la-na-ha) (Said Biko, Biko, said Biko, Biko)
Oh, oh, ohhh (La-la-la-na-ha) (Said Biko, Biko, said Biko, Biko)
Oh, oh, ohhh (La-la-la-na-ha) (Oh Biko, Biko, said Biko, said Biko, Biko)
Oh, oh, ohhh (La-la-la-na-ha) (Said Biko, Biko, said Biko)
Oh, oh, ohhh…
…Senzeni na? Senzeni na?

Senzeni na? Senzeni na?
Senzeni na? Senzeni na?
