# TUMBAYA *Liphupho Liphila Njengomdanso.* **[INTRO — Imisindvo Yetimbali, Kuhlehla Ngeminwe, Lizwi Lowesifazane Locinile]** *(Dum… da-dum… clap!)* Sawubona wena! Yebo, wena! Uneliphupho esikhwameni? Unelihlaya ezicathulweni? Mawulilethe! *(Ibhasi liyagijima.)* Tum-tum… TUMBAYA! **[CHORUS — KUGEJIMA KWELIGCOKAMA]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Susa luthuli, danisa! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Hamba umhlaba wonkhe utsi, “Phambili!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Lethe emaphupho ekuseni! Linyathelo phandle, Lamabili ngaphakathi— TUMBAYA! Asimemeteleni emaphupho! **[VERSE 1 — IMISINDVO YEMADANSI, LIGITARI LETAKHILE]** Kusihlwa liviki lishaya Etulu kwemtfunti lokufanele. Ekuseni kuba licansi, Bantfu bayahlangana khona. Umuntfu uletsa umculo, Umuntfu uletsa sinkhwa. Umuntfu uletsa umcabango Lowu ungakaze uphume ekhanda. Kukhona umfati netimphahla, Insizwa ifundza imisebenti. Kukhona umntfwana udweba Ephansi etfuntini. Kute lowati kutsi kusasa kuletani, Kute lonencwajana lephumelelayo. Kodvwa liphupho liba luhambo Ngesikhatsi senza lokusemandleni etfu. **[PRE-CHORUS — IMIBILI YAWESIFAZANE IYAKHULA]** Oh, ungabambelela emaphendvulweni, Ungalindi lilanga leliphelele. Thatha lelo litfuba likhona, Vumela umculo ukuhole. Nangabe unelilanga, Yabelana lomunye. Kukhona umhlaba wetitfuba Ngesikhatsi kunendzawo yetfu sobabili! **[CHORUS — KUGEJIMA KWELIGCOKAMA]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Susa luthuli, danisa! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Hamba umhlaba wonkhe utsi, “Phambili!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Lethe emaphupho ekuseni! Linyathelo phandle, Lamabili ngaphakathi— TUMBAYA! Asimemeteleni emaphupho! **[POST-CHORUS — KUHLEHLISA KWEKUDANSA]** Tum! Tum! Hey! Hey! Phuma ngaphandle! Velela! Velela! Ba! Ba! Clap! Clap! Jikela! Bisa emuva! TUMBAYA! **[VERSE 2 — LOWESIFAZANE, IBHASI LIYABHALA]** Kukhona umhlali nelivuno, Kukhona umakhi neliphupho. Kukhona umfundi lotakha lwati, Kukhona umthengisi lotfola emathimba. Kusuka esigodini kuya edolobheni, Kusuka etintsabeni kuya elwandle. Umuntfu wonkhe unelitalente Nelitfuba lokufundza lokunye. Sweefin ihlanganisa bantfu nalamathuba, Isita emabhizinisi kutsi atfole indlela. Tindlela letisha, kushintshana, nekudayisa Kuvula ematfuba onkhe emalanga. Ngesikhatsi umuntfu atfole indlela, Vumela lomunye atfole nayo. Kukhona likusasa lelingakha Ngalokwentako letingakwenza. **[PRE-CHORUS — LIKHORASI LIYAKHULA]** Oh, ungabambelela emaphendvulweni, Ungalindi lilanga leliphelele. Thatha lelo litfuba likhona, Vumela umculo ukuhole. Nangabe unelilanga, Yabelana lomunye. Kukhona umhlaba wetitfuba Ngesikhatsi kunendzawo yetfu sobabili! **[CHORUS — KUGEJIMA KWELIGCOKAMA]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Susa luthuli, danisa! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Hamba umhlaba wonkhe utsi, “Phambili!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Lethe emaphupho ekuseni! Linyathelo phandle, Lamabili ngaphakathi— TUMBAYA! Asimemeteleni emaphupho! **[BRIDGE — PIANO YEMUHLABA, LIKHORASI LETINGANE]** **[VERSE]** Uma indlela ibonakala isindze, Uma uphatse kunalabanye kakhulu, Shangatsi ungathola umusa lomncane Lapho udinga khona litsemba. Kuphila kwetfu kufanelekile kutsi kuhlonipheke, Livi ngalinye lifanele ingoma. Nekusasa kuyakhula ngetsemba Ngesikhatsi sisitana endleleni. *(Umculo uyawuchitha kuze kube yindvuku yinye.)* **[SPOKEN BUILD — FEMALE LEAD]** Liphozi liphupho… Ingoma etinyaweni… Nelikati lonkhe lilindzele… Kutsi utfutfuke! **[DANCE BREAK — CALL AND RESPONSE]** Lead: Uneliphupho? Crowd: Yebo, sinalo! Lead: Unelirhythm? Crowd: Mina nawe! Lead: Ngubani longajoyina? Crowd: Bonkhe bantfu! Lead: Hambisa umtimba wakho! *(Imisindvo iyakhula.)* Tum! Tum! Nyatsela! Nyatsela! Ba! Ba! Shaya! Shaya! Ya! Ya! Jikisa! TUMBAYA! Zwa umsindvo lowo! *(Kukhala kwe-AMAPIANO enkulu)* **[INSTRUMENTAL DANCE BREAK — LOG DRUMS, HIGHLIFE GUITAR, FESTIVAL BRASS]** Tum-tum! TUMBAYA! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! *(Sihlwele sikhala esithokozisweni.)* **[FINAL CHORUS — FULL FESTIVAL CHOIR]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Tshitela uthuli udanse kude! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Ase umhlaba wonkhe utsi, "Hamba!" Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Letsa emaphupho akho elangeni! Kanyekanye phuma, Kabili ngaphakathi— TUMBAYA! Ase kuqale tikhatsi letinhle! **[OUTRO — WARM HIGHLIFE GUITAR, FADING CHOIR]** Ephupho lehlukene letinkhulungwane, Ephupho lehlukene tindlela. Kuncane kuhlanganisa, Kuncane litsemba ngelilanga. Sweefin letfulela tindlela letintsha tekuxhumana, Kwakha, kushintjisana, nekukhula. Tum-tum! TUMBAYA! Liphupho ngalinye lifanele umdanso. TUMBAYA! *(Shaya lokugcina lokujabulisayo.)*
