Johnny Clegg & Juluka - Impi
1983 Live in Capetown

Original from
African Litany 1981

Chorus:
Impi! wo 'nans' impi iyeza
Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?
All along the river Chelmsford's army lay asleep
Come to crush the Children of Mageba
Come to exact the Realm's price for peace
And in the morning as they saddled up to ride
Their eyes shone with the fire and the steel
The General told them of the task that lay ahead
To bring the People of the Sky to heel
Chorus
Mud and sweat on polished leather
Warm rain seeping to the bone
They rode through the season's wet weather
Straining for a glimpse of the foe
Hopeless battalion destined to die
Broken by the Benders of Kings
Vainglorious General and Victorian pride
Would cost him and eight hundred men their lives
Chorus
They came to the side of the mountain
Scouts rode out to spy the land
Even as the Realm's soldiers lay resting
Mageba's forces were at hand
And by the evening the vultures were wheeling
Above the ruins where the fallen lay
An ancient song as old as the ashes
Echoed as Mageba's warriors marched away
Chorus

Umbaqanga man won't you play it if you can
That special music
Umbaqanga man -- he's an African
He's got a special music
Chorus
And we'll move it, we'll move it along
African music, wherever you're from
You'll never lose it -- the rhythm is strong
Umbaqanga music will move you along
Umbaqanga man can you reach me where I am
I need that music
Umbaqanga man won't you play it if you can
That special music
Chorus
And we'll move it, we'll move it along

You'll never lose it -- the rhythm is strong
Umbaqanga music -- a special song"
