White stone hidden in the ground Gonna take a life before it's found (INDLELA YASE - CONGO the Congo way) Tribesman from jungle town He's heading down to the digging mound Young man in the sun, dig for diamonds everyone Soldiers in camouflage, drinking and playing cards UBANI ONGAKHOMBA-NJE? (Who can show me?) UBANI ONGASIZA, MADODA (Who can help me?) INDLELA EYASE-CONGA, NGIYA YASE CONGO (The way to the Congo, I am going to the Congo) Life pulsing with such hope, We digging down in the river slope Shiny stone set me free I'll go home a Big Daddy Freedom is food to eat Good strong boots upon your feet Can you sneak a small stone by a waiting soldier's hungry eye? C UBANI ONGAKHOMBA-NJE? (Who can show me?) UBANI ONGASIZA, MADODA, (Who can help me?) INDLELA EYASE-CONGA, NGIYA YASE CONGO (The way to the Congo, I am going to the Congo) Let me lie with you a while And hope this dream will carry over A new hand to deal A new hope to feel My hands hold real seeds of a Sower If I could fly across your sky And make you laugh I know I could be a winner UBANI ONGAKHOMBA-NJE? (Who can show me?) UBANI ONGASIZA, MADODA, (Who can help me?) INDLELA EYASE-CONGA, NGIYA YASE CONGO (The way to the Congo, I am going to the Congo) Here comes that feeling oh Boy I'm rising above the earth again Here comes that feeling oh boy I'll be delivered but I don't know when AWU! AWU! AWU!HAWU NGIYAKHUMBULA INDAWO ENGINGAYAZI (OH !OH !OH! I am remembering a place that I have never seen and do not know) WENHLIZIYO YAMI NGIYAKHALA (My heart is aching) ENGINGAYAZI MINA (A place that I have never seen) Comets and clouds and red, red rain Filling up my sky above this dark empty plain Somebody reading a book, God for Beginners Looking around, I saw you, sitting with us sinners And so you fill my mind, give me a new design I see your river-smile while I float like a feather Leave what's behind cos all the words are spoken It's the time of the sign when the code is never broken UBANI ONGAKHOMBA-NJE? (Who can show me ?) UBANI ONGASIZA , MADODA (Who can help me ?) INDLELA EYASE-CONGA, NGIYA YASE CONGO (The way to the Congo, I am going to the Congo)
