War
War! O here comes war
Who here can touch the lions?
War! O here comes war
Who here can touch the lions?
War! O here comes war
Who here can touch the lions?
War! O here comes war
Who here can touch the lions?
All along the river chelmsford's army lay asleep
Come to crush the children of mageba
Come to exact the realm's price for peace
And in the morning as they saddled up to ride
Their eyes shone with the fire and the steel
The general told them of the task that lay ahead
To bring the people of the sky to heel
War! O here comes war
Who here can touch the lions?
War! O here comes war
Who here can touch the lions?
Mud and sweat on polished leather
Warm rain seeping to the bone
They rode through the season's wet weather
Straining for a glimpse of the foe
Hopeless battalion destined to die
Broken by the benders of kings
Vainglorious general and victorian pride
Would cost him and 800 men their lives
War! O here comes war
Who here can touch the lions?
War! O here comes war
Who here can touch the lions?
They came to the side of the mountain
Scouts rode out to spy the land
Even as the realm's soldiers lay resting
Mageba's forces were at hand
And by the evening the vultures were wheeling
Above the ruins where the fallen lay
An ancient song as old as the ashes
Echoed as mageba's warriors marched away
War! O here comes war
Who here can touch the lions?
War! O here comes war
Who here can touch the lions?
War! O here comes war
Who here can touch the lions?
War! O here comes war
Who here can touch the lions?
War! O here comes war
Who here can touch the lions?
War! O here comes war
Who here can touch the lions?
War! O here comes war
Who here can touch the lions?

Hi! The song doesn't seem to exist in our database, you may make a transcription request here. (P.S the artist name should be Johnny Clegg + Juluka and here's the video link) when the transcription is fullfiled by someone, then you can make a translation request here. For more info read this.
Kasy1310 Russia is waging a disgraceful war on Ukraine. Stand With Ukraine!

Hi Bobfari,
Thanks so much for this translation its so helpful!! I was wondering if you'd be able to translate the song 'Thandiwe' by Johnny Clegg - I grew up listening to it and it's one of my favorites butI can't seem to find an English translation of it anywhere.
Thanks so much,
Richie
