Ngikhanyisele weDlozi lami
Two humans on the run

Ngikhanyisele weDlozi lami
Two humans on the run

[Verse 1]
The autumn leaves have trooped their colours
Rumours of the battle to come
Intelligence says you have departed
But my heart cannot give up its love
I'm living through a war in peace time
Dying to get through to you
(Baba noMa)
(Baba noMa)
(Baba noMa)

[Chorus]
Living through a war in peace time (Baba noMa)
To get through to you (Baba noMa)
On your face, love, days and sorrow (Baba noMa)
So long we struggled on (Baba noMa)
We baba noMama (Baba noMa)
We baba noMama (Baba noMa)
We baba noMama (Baba noMa)
Ngikhanyisele weDlozi lami
Two humans on the run

Ngikhanyisele weDlozi lami
Two humans on the run

[Verse 2]
The heart is a shattered province
Pockets of love still hold out in the ruins
Old memories sent me reinforcements
But they were ambushed on high ground
I'm living through a war in peace time
Dying to get through to you
(Baba noMa) (Baba noMa)
(Baba noMa) (Baba noMa)

[Chorus]
Living through a war in peace time (Baba noMa)
To get through to you (Baba noMa)
Why do you fight like this with me now (Baba noMa)
You fill the days with such sad sounds (Baba noMa)
We baba noMama (Baba noMa)
We baba noMama (Baba noMa)
We baba noMama (Baba noMa)

Ngikhanyisele weDlozi lami
Two humans on the run
Ngikhanyisele weDlozi lami
Two humans on the run

Living through a war in peace time
Living through a war in peace time
Living through a war in peace time
Living through a war in peace time
I'm living through a war in peace time
Trying to get through to you

Ngikhanyisele weDlozi lami
Two humans on the run

Ngikhanyisele weDlozi lami
Two humans on the run

I'm living through a war in peace time
Living through a war in peace time
I'm living through a war in peace time
