Johnny Clegg

Johnny Clegg - Giyani lyrics

Hayi 'Ngane (We are calling: hey! let's go child of

Yam ashangane the Shangaan)

Oh the river is wide

And the water is deep

Got no money and I can't get to sleep

Takes all my courage to look down that long road

I am going to Giyani

With such a heavy load

I've got to:

Shintsa (change)

Qina (strengthen myself)

Quingel isibindi (take courage)

And don't give up

Chorus

Oh I'm going to Giynai

Siyayibiza Ye! As'hambeni

As'hambeni

Oh I'm going to touch

That magic mystery

Leaving my troubles behind me

Did you hear about the mouse

That went to the cat for love

The cat said:

"Mouse, I can't be what your'e dreaming of.

You're so lonely. You've got it mixed up.

You're looking down below for what lies up above."

You've got to

Shintsa (change)

Qina (strengthen myself)

Quingel isibindi (take courage)

Don't give up

Chorus.
