Siyayilanda Lyrics

Chorus
Siyayibamba siyayilanda
Ngithibamba siyayilanda
Sithibamba siyayilanda
Fetch it siyayilanda
(We are fetching our future, grabbing our tomorrow)
Repeat

Human figures in a dream
Heard them singing -- Siyayilanda (we are fetching it)
You've got to get up
And carry on sing this song -- Siyayilanda
There's a mean machine
Tear the bone clean, tell you
Where I've been -- Siyayilanda
Eat, sleep on your feet
You're going to speak -- Siyayilanda

Chorus

A falling star in the night
Comfort the weeper -- Siyayilanda
You turn to the left and you turn to the right,
Losers, keepers -- Siyayilanda
Hold me close I'm trapped in
A night of seasons -- Siyayilanda
A new sun rising up ahead
Coming your way -- Siyayilanda


Chorus

I can feel it in the air
My day is coming nearer
My day's a little nearer

Johnny Clegg's second crossover band Savuka takes its name from the Zulu word for "We have risen". Savuka, like Clegg's first band Juluka before it, mixes African music with Celtic folk music and international rock sounds. They recorded four albums: Third World Child (1987), Shadow Man (1988), Cruel, Crazy, Beautiful World (1989) and Heat, Dust & Dreams (1993). The last album was nominated for a US Grammy Award for the best world music album in 1993.

In the United States, songs performed by Johnny Clegg have appeared in three well-known feature films: Scatterlings of Africa in Rain Man, Dela in George of the Jungle, and Life Is a Magic Thing in the animated film Ferngully.
