Johnny Clegg and Savuka - Third World Child слова песни
Bits of songs and broken drumsAre all he could recallSo he spoke to me In a bastard tongueCarried on the silence of the guns"It`s been a long long timesince they first cameAnd marched through our villageThey taught us to forget our pastAnd live the future in their image"ChorusThey said`You should learn to speak a little bit of EnglishDon`t be scared of a suit and tie.Learn to walk in the dreams of the foreigner-- I am a Third World ChildThe Outworld`s dreams are the currencyThat grip the city streetsI live them outBut I have my ownHidden somewhere deep inside of meIn between my father`s fields And the citadels of the ruleLies a no-man`s land which I must crossTo find my stolen jewel.They said`You should learn to speak a little bit of EnglishMaybe practise birth controlKeep away from controversial politicsSo to save my third world soulChorusThey said`You should learn to speak a little bit of EnglishDon`t be scared of a suit and tie.Learn to walk in the dreams of the foreigner-- I am a Third World ChildWo! Ilanga lobunzima Nalo liyashonaUkuthini asaziMus` ukukhalaMntanami(Oh! We don`t know when this Sun of Hardship will set.Don`t cry, my child.) Bits of songs and broken drumsAre all he could recallBut the future calls his nameOut loudCarried on the violence of the guns
