We are
Black Gold
In hundreds
We were sold
We filled
Every spot
The journey
We have forgot
Black dough
Profit made
Where soul was
Is a grenade
Earth ties
Disappeared
Identity
Unclear
Until you
Discover the secrets where you come from
Black Gold
You remove the dust covering your chains
Black Gold
You are scattered like stars across the planet
Sharing one memory
Sharing wounds that scab in vein
Eh iyeyi iyeyi iyeyi hey
Nabaya (There they come)
Nabaya (There they come)
Sebefuna ukusithatha kulomhlaba (They want to take us from this land)
Nabaya (There they come)
Nabaya (There they come)
Nabaya (There they come)
Sebefuna ukusithatha ezweni lethu (They want to take us from our land)
Nabaya (There they come)
