RHYTHM SAFARI

ARE YOU READY?

 

Hawu beke mama oye

Hamba ugadile

(be alert and be on guard)

I feel a river in flood in my veins

I can feel your love in my brain

It wants to dance my life

Through a hurricane

Dance the Mamba across

The Oshakati Plain

 

Chorus:

Hamba ugadile ‘mntanami

(be alert and on guard my child)

The world has crocodile eyes

And if you dance the Oshakati Mamba

Remember to cross

Yourself twice - are you ready?

 

Hawu beke mama oye

Hamba ugadile

(be alert and be on guard)

I need to sail away, escape

This cage

I can see they sky and the Milky Way

Be my lover tonight, show

Me the wisdom of life

Dance the Mamba, across

The Oshakati night

 

Chorus:

Hamba ugadile ‘mntanami

(be alert and on guard my child)

The world has crocodile eyes

And if you dance the Oshakati Mamba

Remember to cross

Yourself twice - are you ready?

And if you dance the

Oshakati Mamba

You’ll be dancing on the desert air

Like a seagull searching

for the ocean

Like a lover playing solitaire
