Testo Pretoria - Little Steven
Testo della canzone Pretoria (Little Steven), tratta dall'album Bitter Fruit
I was standing in Pretoria
Waiting for the sky to fall
Impil' okhethu
Thina sikhil' elaphamini
Impil' okhethu
Thina sikhil' elaphamini
I am like any other man
I don't complain
But my family's so far away
I want to be with them someday
Men outside my window dressed in masks
Live a lie
There's one truth that they cannot deny
Their blood's the same color as mine
I am not the prisoner today
You've been too long locked away
Look around, there is so much
What are you so afraid of?
I say
Impil' okhethu
Thina sikhil' elaphamini
Pretoria
Impil' okhethu
Thina sikhil' elaphamini
Gather 'n' trade, children
Say goodbye to the past
Dry your eyes and prepare to dance
A dance of freedom at last
Ah, put your hand here, touch me now
What you feel
Is what's lost when we're kept apart
It's the beating of your own heart
I'm no soldier, no politician
I'm just a working man whose time has come
Look around, there is so much
What are you so afraid of?
I say
Impil' okhethu
Thina sikhil' elaphamini
Pretoria
Impil' okhethu
Thina sikhil' elaphamini
Come dance with us
Come dance with us
I was standing in Pretoria
Waiting for the sky to fall
Then the eyes of the war crimes icons
Stared down on the false immortality
The falling flowers of the total jacaranda
Covered the blood on the streets
The faces of the statues are tainted
With an unclean righteousness
But inside, they're crumbling
They know they ain't got much time left
In Pretoria
Impil' okhethu
Thina sikhil' elaphamini
In Pretoria
Impil' okhethu
Thina sikhil' elaphamini
Pretoria
Impil' okhethu
Thina sikhil' elaphamini
Pretoria
Impil' okhethu
Thina sikhil' elaphamini
Come dance with us
Impil' okhethu
Thina sikhil' elaphamini
Pretoria
Come dance with us
Impil' okhethu
Thina sikhil' elaphamini
Come dance with us
Impil' okhethu
Thina sikhil' elaphamini
Come dance with us
Impil' okhethu
Thina sikhil' elaphamini
Come dance with us
Impil' okhethu
Thina sikhil' elaphamini
Come dance with us
Impil' okhethu
Thina sikhil' elaphamini
Come dance with us
Impil' okhethu
Thina sikhil' elaphamini
Come dance with us
Impil' okhethu
Thina sikhil' elaphamini
Come dance with us
Impil' okhethu
Thina sikhil' elaphamini
