Johnny Clegg Devana Lyrics

BADEDELE BENGENE, KADE BASIDELELA
Let them in, they have insulted us for too long now
BADEDELE BENGENE, SIBALINDILE THINA
Let them in, we are ready for them
BADEDELE BENGENE, BEZE BONKE BEPHELELE
Let them in, let all of them come at once
BADEDELE BENGENE, WONKE LAMADEVANA
Let them in, all of those with little moustaches
WAKE WABONA INTO ENJE-NA BASI BIZA NGABAFANYANA
Did you ever see such a thing, they call us small boys
WAKE WABONA INTO ENJE-NA BASI BIZA NGABOTSOTSANYANA Did you ever see such a thing, they call us small thieves
HAWA, BATHINI KITHI? BATHINI KITHI? BATHINI KITHI?
Oh, what do they say to us? what do they say to us?

Chorus:
HAWU, THUL’ UTHI-NYA! SO’BASHAYA LAMADEVANA
Oh, wait and keep quiet, because we’re going to overcome
and beat these small moustaches
SOBASHAYA BATHI ´WE BABA
We shall beat them untill they say´Father to us!
