Sikelele Lyrics

Sikelele Many reeds, strong reeds And the strong hands to bind them The woman of Africa Knew just where to find them the sun said dry them The river said wind them the rope we could hold Who came along behind Chorus: Sikelele I´Africa O sikelele (lama) I´Africa Ikosi sikelele Africa Sikelele sikelele Africa Many moons, many suns And days had their passing The people of Africa looked And they were working On the rocks on the mountains The mines that lay before Drums for the first man sing out the chorus
