Bafana Stand Up
A song made by oliverneene853
(Ayy, yoh! Bafana, listen close)
(Bafana, we need to talk)
(Let's build the nation, no more shortcuts, yoh!)
My sister walking in the dark of night
Chasing the paper under streetlamp light
Bafana, we can't just stand and look away
We must support them to find a better day
No more selling body for the daily bread
Let's lift each other up and work instead
Muli shani, my brother, make we stand as one
A brand new chapter has just begun
Bafana stand up, make we stop the pain
No more selling dignity in the rain!
Mayo! We are worth so much more
Open up your mind, open up the door
Tileke uhule, God bless the hustle of our hands go and work not uhule bananyweebo,
We go raise the youth across the lands!
They tell you it's the only way to survive
But that lifestyle is a boza, a lie
Respect the sister, respect the mother too
Bafana, the future is depending on you
From Lusaka streets to the maacha line
We can make a living, we can surely shine
Leave the street corner, let your talent grow
There is dignity in the seeds we sow lekani uhule bafaana imwe lekani kuchinja bamuuna kulimatenda imwe,imwe kulimatenda imwe.
Bafana stand up, make we stop the pain
No more selling dignity in the rain!
Mayo! We are worth so much more
Open up your mind, open up the door
Lekani uhule, God bless the hustle of our hands go and work not huule
We go raise the youth across the lands!
(Ayy, no more shortcut, sharp sharp)
(Let's work together)
(Stand tall, bafana, yoh!)
(Mayo!) Oli~zee bauzee banvesese uhule niopa baiche lekani kuchinja bamuuna
