Shadowland Lyrics

Jim Kerr Shadowland

Fatshe leso lea halalela [The land of our ancestors is holy] Fatshe leso lea halalela

Shadowland The leafes 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

Prideland I have no choice My land I will find my way Tear-stained Lea halalela Dry land Take this Take this prayer With you What lies out there Fatshe leso Lea halalela

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 Fatshe leso lea halalela

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

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

Beso bo, my people, beso bo
