Songtekst
South African, dankre so man
You better go where you're coming from
South African, dankre so man
You better go away
South African, dankre so man
You better go where you're coming from
South African, dankre so man
You better go away
You went down in South Africa land long time ago
To eat from their fruits, the silver and gold, yes
You wanted to be a richer man
But the worst part of the story is not often told
'Cause you fight them (Fight them) and you catch them (Catch them)
And you put them in jail (Put them in jail)
You judge them (Judge them) and you kill them (Kill them)
With laws that you make (With laws that you make)
South African, dankre so man
You better go where you're coming from
South African, dankre so man
You better go away
'Cause you fight them (Fight them) and you catch them (Catch them)
And you put them in jail (Put them in jail)
You judge them (Judge them) and you kill them (Kill them)
With laws that you make (With laws that you make)
All your money, blood money
Will be useless one day
And all your power, your power
Is like the matchlight that the wind blows away
What about the children, your children?
They have to catch the fire one day
The education that you give them
In the system that you create
Oh, move far away
?? 2'48''And purser, man, wherever you come from
Move far away
You got to leave Jah-Jah land
Now move far away
Africa must be free
Now move far away
The whole world wants to be free
Now move far away
Oh, move far away
Oh, move far away
Oh, move far away
