Eish…
those
were
the
days
December
came,
we
knew
where
to
go
Family,
friends,
music
and
laughter
Ha
re
sa
le
bana…
But
those
memories
never
fade.
December
came,
the
streets
were
alive
Mama
in
the
kitchen,
music
outside
Cousins
pulling
up,
friends
at
the
gate
Nobody
was
worried,
we
stayed
up
late
Braai
by
the
corner,
laughter
in
the
air
Christmas
clothes,
everybody
looking
fresh
We
had
little
money
but
felt
so
rich
With
the
people
we
loved,
we
had
everything.
Now
time
has
moved
so
fast
Chasing
shadows
of
the
golden
past
Indy
wa
MoAfrica,
look
how
we
grew
But
the
spirit
of
the
family
stays
true.
Re
tla
kopana
hape,
yeah
we’
ll
meet
again
Under
the
sun
where
the
rhythm
begins
Indy
wa
MoAfrica,
let
the
music
play
We’
re
bringing
back
the
light
of
yesterday
Re
tla
kopana
hape,
let
the
groove
unite
Dancing
through
the
shadows
into
the
night
Sho,
we’
ll
meet
again,
hold
onto
the
spark
Aweh,
keep
the
fire
burning
in
the
dark.
I
remember
the
speakers
thumping
in
the
yard
No
stress
on
our
minds,
life
wasn’
t
hard
Indy
by
the
deck,
spinning
tunes
so
sweet
Everyone
moving,
shuffling
their
feet
From
the
township
lanes
to
the
city
lights
We
were
living
legends
on
those
summer
nights
Every
single
face,
etched
in
my
mind
Leaving
all
the
worries
of
the
world
behind.
Re
tla
kopana
hape,
yeah
we’
ll
meet
again
Under
the
sun
where
the
rhythm
begins
Indy
wa
MoAfrica,
let
the
music
play
We’
re
bringing
back
the
light
of
yesterday
Re

Dancing

the
shadows
into
the
night
Sho,
we’
ll
meet
again,
hold
onto
the
spark
Aweh,
keep
the
fire
burning
in
the
dark.
Time
moves
on,
yes
the
seasons
change
People
move
away,
lives
rearrange
But
the
beat
of
the
drum,
it
calls
us
home
No
matter
where
we
are,
no
matter
how
we
roam
Yebo,
let
the
log
drum
heal
the
soul
Making
us
feel
whole,
giving
us
control.
So
let’
s
raise
a
glass
to
the
ones
we
miss
To
the
childhood
dreams
that
we
couldn't
resist
Indy,
you
keep
the
legacy
alive
Keeping
the
heart
of
the
culture
to
thrive
Sharp
sharp,
the
rhythm
is
a
heartbeat
steady
When
the
memories
call,
are
you
feeling
ready?
Let
the
piano
keys
play
a
lullaby
Underneath
the
beautiful
African
sky.
