Lyrics
# TUMBAYA *Iphupho ngalinye lifuna ukudansa.* **[INTRO — Izigubhu Ezingenalutho, Ukuqhwaza Kweminwe, Iphimbo Lomfazi Elidlalayo]** *(Dum… da-dum… qhwa!)* Hey, wena! Yebo, wena! Ulesifiso esifihliwe? Ulesigqi ezicathulweni zakho? Hamba-ke! *(Ibhesi liqale ukutshaya.)* Tum-tum… TUMBAYA! **[CHORUS — UKUDANSA OKUFUTSHANE OKUQHUMEYO]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Thintitha uthuli udanse! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Izwe lonke lithi, “Qhubeka!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Letha amaphupho akho ekuseni! Isinyathelo phandle, Izinyathelo ezimbili ngaphakathi— TUMBAYA! Siyavula izikhathi ezimnandi! **[VERSE 1 — AMAGITHELA WOKUDANSA, ISIGUBHU SOKUBHALA]** Izolo ubusuku lina Kuphahla elidinga ukulungiswa. Lamuhla kukhona umnyama, Abakhelwane babuthene khonapho. Omunye ulethe umculo, Omunye ulethe isinkwa. Omunye ulethe umbono omutsha Obungekho emqondweni wakhe. Kukhona umama osenhlalweni, Insizwa ifunda ubuciko. Kukhona umntwana edwetsha amaphupho Emthunzini phansi. Akekho owaziyo okuzayo, Akekho onecebo eliphelele. Kodwa iphupho liba uhambo Nxa senza okusemandleni ethu. **[PRE-CHORUS — IZWI LOMFANEKISO WABESIFAZANE LIKHULA]** Oh, ungamlindeli wonke amaphendulo, Ungalindi usuku oluphelele. Thatha ithuba eliphambi kwakho, Vumela isigqi sikuhole. Uma unelanga elincane, Yabelana nomuntu omutsha. Kukhona umhlaba wamathuba Nxa kukhona indawo yami lawe! **[CHORUS — ISIGUBHU ESIDUMAYO]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Thintitha uthuli udanse! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Izwe lonke lithi, “Qhubeka!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Letha amaphupho akho ekuseni! Isinyathelo phandle, Izinyathelo ezimbili ngaphakathi— TUMBAYA! Siyavula izikhathi ezimnandi! **[POST-CHORUS — UKUHLEKA KWABANTU]** Tum! Tum! Hey! Hey! Phuma phandle! Nyakaza! Nyakaza! Ba! Ba! Qhwa! Qhwa! Phenduka! Buyisela emuva! TUMBAYA! **[VERSE 2 — UMHOLI WOMFANEKISO, AMAGITHELA OKUDANSA]** Kukhona umlimi ovunayo, Kukhona umenzi onephupho. Kukhona umfundi akha ulwazi, Kukhona umthengisi othola amaqembu. Kusukela edolobheni kuye edolobheni, Kusukela entabeni kuye olwandle, Umuntu wonke unekhono Lethuba lokuthola okunengi. Sweefin ixhuma abantu namathuba, Kusiza amabhizinisi ukuthola indlela yawo. Izindlela ezintsha zokonga, ukushintshisana nokuhweba Zingavula izinqumo nsuku zonke. Futhi nxa omunye etholile indlela, Vumela omunye athole futhi. Kukhona ikusasa okufanele lakhiwe Ngento esingayenza. **[PRE-CHORUS — IZWI LEQEMBU LIKHULA]** Oh, ungamlindeli wonke amaphendulo, Ungalindi usuku oluphelele. Thatha ithuba eliphambi kwakho, Vumela isigqi sikuhole. Uma unelanga elincane, Yabelana nomuntu omutsha. Kukhona umhlaba wamathuba Nxa kukhona indawo yami lawe! **[CHORUS — UKUDANSA OKUQHUMEYO]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Thintitha uthuli udanse! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Izwe lonke lithi, “Qhubeka!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Letha amaphupho akho ekuseni! Isinyathelo phandle, Izinyathelo ezimbili ngaphakathi— TUMBAYA! Siyavula izikhathi ezimnandi! **[BRIDGE — UPHIANO OLUVUSAYO, IZWI LEZINGANE]** **[VERSE]** Uma indlela ibonakala inzima njalo, Uma uthwele okukhulu kulabo bonke, Kwangathi ungathola umusa omncane Ezindaweni lapho udinga ithemba khona. Impilo yonke ifanelwe isithunzi sayo, Ilizwi ngalinye lifanelwe ingoma. Futhi ikusasa liba nethemba elikhulu Lapho sisizana sihamba ndawonye. *(Umculo uyathula, kushaya isigubhu esisodwa.)* **[SPOKEN BUILD — FEMALE LEAD]** Iphupho esikhwameni sakho… Ingoma ezicathulweni zakho… Futhi umhlaba wonke ulindile… Ukuthi uhambise! **[DANCE BREAK — CALL AND RESPONSE]** Lead: Unalo iphupho? Crowd: Yebo, silinalo! Lead: Unalo igagasi? Crowd: Mina lawe! Lead: Ubani onganamathela? Crowd: Wonke umuntu! Lead: Pho hambisa umzimba wakho! *(Izinsimbi ziyaqina.)* Tum! Tum! Isinyathelo! Isinyathelo! Ba! Ba! Qhwaba! Qhwaba! Ya! Ya! Phenduka! TUMBAYA! Zwelela umsindo! *(AMAPIANO BASS DROP enkulu)* **[INSTRUMENTAL DANCE BREAK — LOG DRUMS, HIGHLIFE GUITAR, FESTIVAL BRASS]** Tum-tum! TUMBAYA! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! *(Isixuku siyahosha phezu komculo.)* **[FINAL CHORUS — FULL FESTIVAL CHOIR]** Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Shanela uthuli futhi udanse! Hey-ya, hey-ya, oh! Vumela umhlaba wonke uthi, “Hamba!” Tum-tum, TUMBAYA! Letha amaphupho akho esukwini! Isinyathelo esisodwa phandle, Izinyathelo ezimbili ngaphakathi— TUMBAYA! Vumela izikhathi ezinhle ziqale! **[OUTRO — WARM HIGHLIFE GUITAR, FADING CHOIR]** Amaphupho ayinkulungwane ehlukene, Izindlela eziyinkulungwane ehlukene. Ukuxhumana okuncane okungaphezulu, Ithemba elincane usuku ngalunye. Sweefin iletha izindlela ezintsha zokuxhumana, Ukudala, ukuhwebelana, nokukhula. Tum-tum! TUMBAYA! Iphupho ngalinye lifanelwe ukudansa. TUMBAYA! *(Ukushaya isigubhu sokugcina sokugubha.)*
