The Warrior

Woza, woza hho
Woza, woza hho
As night fades out, faded by the sun (Hamba)
Ten thousand men stand high on the hill (Hamba)
A loud silence and the earth is still (Hamba)
Ten thousand men tremble for the kill
A vulture flies, the wind that cries
The warrior dies at the Battle of Blood
The scavengers wait, each man the bait
Death his mate at the Battle of Blood
Woza, woza hho
Woza, woza hho
Woza, woza hho Woza, woza hho Woza, woza hho Iphi le ndoda
Woza, woza hho Woza, woza hho Woza, woza hho Iphi le ndoda
Woza, woza hho
Woza, woza hho
Maidens sitting, sitting on their own (Hamba)
Each one thinking who is coming home (Hamba)
A spear clashing, screaming fills the air (Hamba)
Each one shivers, in her heart is fear
A vulture flies, the wind that cries
The warrior dies at the Battle of Blood
The scavengers wait, each man the bait
Death his mate at the Battle of Blood
Woza, woza hho
Woza, woza hho
Woza, woza hho Woza, woza hho Woza, woza hho Iphi le ndoda
Woza, woza hho Woza, woza hho Woza, woza hho Iphi le ndoda
Woza, woza hho
Woza, woza hho
The fight's over and the battle's won (Ngi gwaza ngomkhonto) (Ngadla)
The fight's over and the deed is done (Ngi gwaza ngomkhonto) (Ngadla)
The fight's over but which side has
won (Ngi gwaza ngomkhonto) (Ngadla)
The fight's over but has it just begun (Ngi gwaza ngomkhonto)
A vulture flies, the wind that cries
The warrior dies at the Battle of Blood
The scavengers wait, each man the bait
Death his mate at the Battle of Blood
