Brenda Fassie— Black President Lyrics (1990)
The year 1963, the people's president
Was taken away, by secuirity men
All dressed in a uniform, are brutality,
Brutality, oh no, my, my black president
Him and his comrades,
Were sentenced to isolation
For many painful years, for many painful years,
Many painful years of hard labour
They broke rocks,
But their spirit was never broken
Never broken oh no, my, my black President
Hmm-maa, hmm-maa, hmm ma-mama
Hmm-maa, hmm-maa, hmm ma-mama
Madi-madi-madiba, baba, baba Madiba
Ah, uyem-yem
He broke rocks,
But his spirit was never broken,
Never broken, oh-oh-oh, my president
Now in 1990, the people's President
Came out from jail, raised up his hand and said
"Viva, viva, my people"
He walked the long road,
Back, back to freedom, back to freedom
Freedom for my black president
Let us rejoice for our president
Let us sing for our president
Let us pray for our president
Let us sing, Let us dance
For Madiba, Madiba's freedom
We thank you Lord,
For listenining to our prayers
Night and day, oh-oh-oh, my president
Madiba, baba, baba, Madiba
Baba, baba, Madiba, Ah, uyem-yem,
uYem-yem, uNgqolomsila...my Black President
I will die for my president
I will sing for my president
I will stand and say, viva, viva, viva, viva, viva....
