# TUMBAYA *Iphupha ngalinye lifanele umdaniso.* **[INTRO — Izandla Zibetha, Umculo Wenza Uvuyo]** *(Dum… da-dum… clap!)* Hey, wena! Ewe, wena! Unamaphupha engxoweni? Unomculo ezihlangu zakho? Khawuleza! *(Ibhesi iyavakala.)* Tum-tum… TUMBAYA! **[CHORUS — UQHUSHUZO LWE-AFRO-HOUSE]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Shake uthuli kwaye udanise! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Masizwe sonke sithi, “Hamba!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Fikisa amaphupha akho emini! Inyathelo elinye ngaphandle, Amabini ngaphakathi— TUMBAYA! Masibe nemihlali! **[VERSE 1 — AMACULO E-AFROBEATS, IGITAR EPHOLILE]** Izolo ebusuku imvula ibetha Kwindlu efuna ukulungiswa. Kusasa kukho umnyama, Abamelwane bayahlangana. Omnye uzisa umculo omncinci, Omnye uzisa isonka. Omnye uzisa ingcamango entsha Engakaze iphume entloko. Kukho umfazi onevenkile, Inkwenkwe ifunda urhwebo. Kukho umntwana odweba izimvo Esitalatweni esiphantsi komthunzi. Akukho bani wazi okwenzekayo ngomso, Akukho bani unecebo eliphelele. Kodwa iphupha liba luhambo Xa senzenza esinokuthi senze. **[PRE-CHORUS — AMAVUMO ABOMI BANYUKA]** Oh, ungameli iimpendulo zonke, Ungameli usuku olugqibeleleyo. Thatha ithuba elikuphambi kwakho, Uvumele umrhythm ukukhokela. Ukuba unelanga elincinane, Yabelana nomntu omtsha. Kukho umhlaba wamathuba Xa kukho indawo yam kunye nawe! **[CHORUS — UQHUSHUZO LWE-AMAPIANO LOG-DRUM]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Shake uthuli kwaye udanise! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Masizwe sonke sithi, “Hamba!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Fikisa amaphupha akho emini! Inyathelo elinye ngaphandle, Amabini ngaphakathi— TUMBAYA! Masibe nemihlali! **[POST-CHORUS — INGOMA YOMDANISO]** Tum! Tum! Hey! Hey! Phuma ngaphandle! Tsiba! Tsiba! Ba! Ba! Clap! Clap! Jikeleza! Buyisa! TUMBAYA! **[VERSE 2 — UMGANGATHO OWENZIWE NGABASAKHULAYO]** Kukho umfama onezitshalo, Kukho umenzi onephupha. Kukho umfundi ofunda, Kukho umrhwebi ofumana amaqela. Ukusuka kwidolophu ukuya kwisixeko, Ukusuka entabeni ukuya kunxweme, Wonke umntu unetalente Kunye nethuba lokufunda okungakumbi. I-Sweefin idibanisa abantu namathuba, Ilinceda amashishini afumane indlela yawo. Iindlela ezintsha zokugcina, ukurhweba, Zivula ukhetho mihla le. Xa umntu efumana indlela, Makufumaneke enye nakuye. Kukho ikamva elifanele ukwenziwa Ngento esinokuyenza. **[PRE-CHORUS — IKWAYALA IYAKHULA]** Oh, ungameli iimpendulo zonke, Ungameli usuku olugqibeleleyo. Thatha ithuba elikuphambi kwakho, Uvumele umrhythm ukukhokela. Ukuba unelanga elincinane, Yabelana nomntu omtsha. Kukho umhlaba wamathuba Xa kukho indawo yam kunye nawe! **[CHORUS — UQHUSHUZO LOMDANISO WEMITHETHO]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Shake uthuli kwaye udanise! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Masizwe sonke sithi, “Hamba!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Fikisa amaphupha akho emini! Inyathelo elinye ngaphandle, Amabini ngaphakathi— TUMBAYA! Masibe nemihlali! **[BRIDGE — IPHINA ETHANDA UKUPHUMZA, IKWAYALA YABANTWANA]** **[VERSE]** Ukuba indlela ibinzima kakhulu, Ukuba uthwele okungaphezu kwabanye, Unga fumana ububele obuncinci Kwiindawo ezifuna ithemba. Ubomi bonke bufanele isidima, Ilizwi ngalinye lifanele ingoma. Ikamva likhula nethemba, Xa sincedana endleleni. *(Umculo utyhila kancinci kuqhwaba kwesigubhu esinye.)* **[UKUTETHA NGOKUZAKHENZA — INKOKHELI YABHINIBELE]** Ingcambu ephaketheni lakho… Ingoma ezicathulweni zakho… Kwaye ihlabathi lonke lilinde… Ukuhamba kwakho! **[IKHEFU LOKUDANISA — UBUZELE NEMIBUZO]** Inkokheli: Ngaba unengcamango? Isihlwele: Ewe, sinayo! Inkokheli: Ngaba unomrhythm? Isihlwele: Mna nawe! Inkokheli: Ngubani onokudibana? Isihlwele: Wonke umntu! Inkokheli: Ke shukumisa umzimba wakho! *(Isigubhu sikhula.)* Tum! Tum! Nyathela! Nyathela! Ba! Ba! Qhwaba! Qhwaba! Ya! Ya! Jika! TUMBAYA! Yiva eso sihlombe! *(ISIGUBHU ESIBONAKALAYO SE-AMAPIANO) * **[IKHEFU LOKUDANISA LOKWENZIWA — AMAGUBHU AMADE, IKITARA YE-HIGHLIFE, AMABHASI E-FESTIVALI]** Tum-tum! TUMBAYA! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! *(Isihlwele siqumbela kwisandi.)* **[IKHORASI YOKUGQIBELA — ICHOIR YEFESTIVALI EPHELELE]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Shake uthuli kwaye udanise! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Vumela ihlabathi lonke litsho, “Hamba!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Zisa amaphupha akho emini! Inyathela elinye ngaphandle, Amanyathelo amabini ngaphakathi— TUMBAYA! Vumela amaxesha amnandi aqale! **[ISIPHELELELO — IKITARA EFUDUMALAYO YE-HIGHLIFE, ICHOIR EPHUMA]** Amaphupha angamawaka, Iindlela ezahlukeneyo ezininzi. Uxhulumaniso oluncinci, Ithemba elincinci yonke imihla. Sweefin izisa iindlela ezintsha zokuxhuma, Ukuvelisa, ukutshintshiselana, nokukhula. Tum-tum! TUMBAYA! Lilonke iphupha lifanele umdaniso. TUMBAYA! *(Ukubetha kwesigubhu sokugqibela sokubhiyozela.)*
