Brothers African
Do you understand?
This is our land
Look at Foster come and go everywhere
See our brothers smile at him here and there

All day long
They just keep on talking
Yeah after year
They just keep on dialoguing

South Africa
Colonized by whites
Black men have no rights
Exploited and oppressed
By fear and brutal-ness

South Africa
Talkin' bout state within a state
Just one more iron gate
Where the Bantus stun fiction
More sufferage and addiction

What is thing called dialogue?
Is day count what you want
What is thing called dialogue?
It's your land, make your stand
To be free let's come on Africans

Our brothers African
Do you understand?
This is my land
Look at Foster come and go everywhere
See our brothers smile at him here and there

All day long
They just keep on talking
Yeah after year
They just keep on dialoguing

Oh yes, they keep on dialoguing
While men die deep down in the belly of the earth
In the Gold mines and Diamond mines
Where they dig gold and diamonds
That do not benefit their people
But diamonds and gold
That go across the seas to benefit other nations
Yes they keep on dialoguing
While our children are being denied education
Sasol, Sasko, yes indeed

South Africa
What is thing called dialogue?
Is day count what you want
What is thing called dialogue?
It's your land, make your stand
To be free let's be all Africans

Hmm brothers African
Do you understand?
This is my land

Yes brothers African
Do you understand?
This is my land

All day long
They just keep on talking
All day long
They just keep on dialoguing
All day long
They just keep on talking
I said year after year
They just keep on dialoguing

This is my land
Do you understand?
This is my, my land

Ahh abhubh'amadoda baba yho
