Here are the lyrics we have in the Digital Tradition: AZEKATARLE
South African Liberation song, widely sung after the events in Sharpville in 1958 when protestors were shot at and charged by the military. From Leon Rosselson, Roy Bailey and Frankie Armstrong.
Ah zee ka tar (le), no maz ya boz (zhwa) See see mis ay ling koo loo lay ko Ah zee ka tar (le), no maz ya boz (zhwa) See see mis ay ling koo loo lay ko
Oon say ma lung twai lo on say ma lung twai lo Oon fo na ma to da on fo na ma to da Oon say ma lung twai lo on say ma lung twai lo Oon fo na ma to da on fo na ma to da
Te na ban twa na ba zay ah preeka See see mees ay ling koo loo lay ko Te na ban twa na ba zay ah preeka See see mees ay ling koo loo lay ko
We do not care if we got to prison It is for freedom that we gladly go
A heavy load, a heavy load And it will take some real strength
We are the children of Africa It is for freedom that we gladly go
