Heather Headley Shadowland

Tekst piosenki

CHORUS
Fatshe leso lea halalela
Fatshe leso lea halalela

NALA
Shadowland
The leaves have fallen
This shadowed land
This was our home

The river’s dry
The ground has broken
So I must go
Now I must go

And where the journey may lead me
Let your prayers be my guide
I cannot stay here, my family
But I’ll remember my pride,*

(CHORUS) NALA
(Pridelands) I have no choice
(My lands) I will find my way
(Tear-stained) Lea halalela
(Dry lands)
(Take this) Take this prayer
(With you) What lies out there?
(Fatshe leso) Lea halalela

CHORUS
And where the journey may lead you
Let this prayer be your guide
Though it may take you so far away
Always remember your pride

Fatshe leso lea halalela
Fatshe leso lea halalela

RAFIKI (Chant)

NALA
Fatshe leso lea halalela

NALA/CHORUS
And where the journey may lead you (me)
Let your prayer be your (my) guide
Though it may take you (me) so far away
Always (I’ll) remember your (me) pride

(CHORUS) NALA
(And where the journey may lead you) Giza buyabo, giza buyabo
(Let this prayer be your guide) I will return, I will return, Beso bo
(Though it may take you so far away) Giza buyabo, I will return
(Always remember your pride) Giza buyabo, oh giza buyabo

NALA
Beso bo, me people, beso bo
