Manfred Mann - Sikelele I lyrics

Many reeds, strong reeds and the strong hands to bind them The woman of Africa knew just where to find them The sun said: "Dry them", the river said: "Wind them" The rope we could hold who came along behind Sikelele I'Africa O sikelele (lama) I'Africa Ikosi sikelele Africa Sikelele sikelele Africa Many moons, many suns and days had their pa**ing The people of Africa looked and they were working On the rocks, on the mountains the mines that lay before us Drums for the first man sing out the chorus Sikelele I'Africa O sikelele (lama) I'Africa Ikosi sikelele Africa Sikelele sikelele Africa Many reeds, strong reeds and the strong hands to bind them The woman of Africa knew just where to find them The sun said: "Dry them", the river said: "Wind them" The rope we could hold who came along behind Sikelele I´Africa O sikelele (lama) I´Africa Ikosi sikelele Africa Sikelele sikelele Africa
