Johnny Clegg & Savuka - Are You Ready? Lyrics
Hawu! bheka mama! oye!Hambugadile! (be alert and be on guard)I feel a river in flood in my veinsI can feel your love in my brainIt wants to dance my lifeThrough a hurricaneDance the mamba acrossThe oshakati plainChorus:Hambugadile mntanami! (be alert and be on guard my child)The world has crocodile eyesAnd if you dance theOshakati mambaRemember to cross yourself twice --Are you readyHawu! bheka mama! oye!Hambugadile! (be alert and be on guard)I need to sail away, escape this cageI can see the sky and the milky wayBe my lover tonight, show me the wisdom of lifeDance the mamba, across the oshakati nightHambugadile mntanami! (be alert and be on guard my child)The world has crocodile eyesAnd if you dance theOshakati mambaRemember to cross yourself twice --Are you readyAnd if you dance theOshakati mambaYoull be dancing on desert airLike a seagull searching for the oceanLike a lover playing solitaire
