Johnny Clegg & Savuka - Kwela Man Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Long ago there was a sound in the night
  • A kwela man singing under the street light
  • With a cheap guitar he gave his sorrow a smile
  • And he sowed his songs in the alley ways mile upon mile
  • Chorus
  • Ye hum ho la lo kwela man
  • Ye hum ho la lo kwela man
  • Ye hum ho la lo kwela man
  • You gave it your life
  • Living low with the pennywhistle-tea-chest-base-gang
  • I followed him home and he danced as he sang
  • But now hes gone
  • Not even the slightest traces
  • Of a kwela song
  • And the street is full of empty spaces
  • Chorus
  • Nobody knows did he survive the winding road
  • Did he find a song that took him back to the heartland
  • Here I stand lost in a memory
  • Of a kwela man singing in the long gone twilight
  • Chorus
  • When I followed you home kwela man
  • You filled my soul, kwela kwela
  • When you sang your song kwela man
  • You gave it your life
  • Ye hum ho la lo kwela man
  • Ye hum ho la lo kwela man
  • Ye hum ho la lo kwela man
  • You gave it your life
