Johnny Clegg and Savuka - Impi слова песни
Chorus:Impi! wo `nans` impi iyezaObani bengathinta amabhubesi?All along the river Chelmsford`s army lay asleepCome to crush the Children of MagebaCome to exact the Realm`s price for peaceAnd in the morning as they saddled up to rideTheir eyes shone with the fire and the steelThe General told them of the task that lay aheadTo bring the People of the Sky to heelChorusMud and sweat on polished leatherWarm rain seeping to the boneThey rode through the season`s wet weatherStraining for a glimpse of the foeHopeless battalion destined to dieBroken by the Benders of KingsVainglorious General and Victorian prideWould cost him and eight hundred men their livesChorusThey came to the side of the mountainScouts rode out to spy the landEven as the Realm`s soldiers lay restingMageba`s forces were at handAnd by the evening the vultures were wheelingAbove the ruins where the fallen layAn ancient song as old as the ashesEchoed as Mageba`s warriors marched awayChorus
