Montreal Jazz Fest 30.6.2004 (5/9)
"For my son and all the children of his generation who will have to deal wilh all that my generation has bequeathed to the 21st century."
"Für meinen Sohn und alle Kinder seiner Generation, die mit dem Erbe, das meine Generation dem 21. Jahrhundert hinterläßt, fertig werden müssen."
Johnny Clegg & Savuka - Cruel, Crazy And Beautiful World
Original: Cruel, Crazy Beautiful World 1990
You have to wash with the crocodile in the river
You have to swim with the sharks in the sea
You have to live with the crooked politician
Trust those things that you can never see
Ayeye ayeye jesse mfana (jesse boy) ayeye ayeye
You got to trust your lover when you go away
Keep on believing that tomorrow brings a better day
Sometimes you will smile while you're crying inside
And just once you will turn away while the truth is shining bright
Ayeye ayeye Jesse mfana (Jesse boy) ayeye ayeye
Chorus :
It's a cruel crazy beautiful world
Every time you wake up I hope it's under a blue sky
It's a cruel crazy beautiful world
One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye
Goodbye -- It's your world so live in it!
Beyond the door, strange cruel beautiful years lie waiting for you
It kills me to know you won't escape loneliness,
Maybe you lose hope too
Ayeye ayeye jesse mfana ayeye ayeye
Chorus :
It's a cruel crazy beautiful world
Every time you wake up I hope it's under a blue sky
It's a cruel crazy beautiful world
One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye
Goodbye -- It's your world so live in it!
When I feel your small body close to mine
I feel weak and strong at the same time
So few years to give you wings to fly
Show you the stars to guide your ship by
Chorus :
It's a cruel crazy beautiful world
Every time you wake up I hope it's under a blue sky
It's a cruel crazy beautiful world
One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye
Goodbye -- It's your world so live in it!
It's your world so live in it
