Saduva

Miriam Makeba

[Verse 1]
I don't want to hang out anymore
With all the people who used to be my friends
I don't want to hang out anymore
With all the people who used to be my friends
During the good old times when I was jamming
My friends were jamming right along with me
During the good old times when I was slamming
My friends were always right by side
But when the bad times came into my life
My friends were nowhere, nowhere by my side
Iyo, I heard you, I heard you, mama
Your voice was clearly, truly the word
All the crazy things I used to do
And all the bad things I got myself into
I never listened to my parents warnings
Did not accept anybody's advice

[Chorus]
Mama, please don't cry
Don't you weep, mama
Wipe you tears, I will heed your call
Please don't cry
Don't you weep, mama
Wipe you tears, I will heed your call
Mama, please don't cry
Don't you weep, mama
Wipe you tears, I will heed your call

Thula, thula wena mama, ndivile
Thula, thula wena mama, ndivile
Iyo ndivile, ndivile, mama
Ilizwi lakho lalilikhulu
Kuzo zonk'ezont'ezimbi
Nakuzo zonk'int'endandizenza
Ndandingamameli abazali bam
Ndandingakhathalelli ukunqandwa

[Trumpet Break]

[Chorus]
Iyo thula mama sendivile ma
Thula mama sukulila mama
Iyo, thula mama sukulila ma
Iyo thula mama sendivile ma
Iyo, thula mama sukulila ma
Iyo thula mama sendivile ma

Thula, thula wena mama, ndivile
Thula, thula wena mama, ndivile

[Post-Chorus]
Iyo ndivile, ndivile, mama
Ilizwi lakho lalilikhulu
Kuzo zonk'ezont'ezimbi
Nakuzo zonk'int'endandizenza
Ndandingamameli abazali bam
Ndandingakhathalelli ukunqandwa
Ndandingamameli abazali bam
Ndandingakhathalelli ukunqandwa
Kuzo zonk'ezont'ezimbi
Nakuzo zonk'int'endandizenza
