ASILAZI (We Don't Know the Day) Songtext

von Johnny Clegg

CHORUS:
ASILAZI, ASILAZI THINA ILANGA LETHU LIZOFIKA NINI
SILINDILE NGENHLIZIYO , YONKE KODWA SENZENI NA?
(We don’t know when our day will come
(We have been, waiting with all our hearts,
(What have we done to deserve this?)

You know this hard for me
Facing the judgement of history
I’m a small man ,I never stood up against anything at all
Always been just another brick in the wall
It’s hard to know how to make a change
It’s hard to give up what you got and just walk away
So I got to go now and face this day
Goodbye my friend, goodbye

You know it’s so hard to fight
On your own against the fading of the light
From the school to the church to heart of the state
To the invisible power of the hidden hand of hate
Where was I when this all began
From the father to the son to the man
So I gotta now, and fact this day
Goodbye my friend, goodbye
