Genius Translations
Quebonafide - Changa (English Translation)
[Verse 1: Quebonafide]
One hot winter somewhere
Up on the north of southern Africa
We got to know these shamanic plants
And just now we started trippin’
No Paris, Seychelles, Monaco or Nice
It all is just a substitute
Now I feel trapped in this body
I’m going to Mars; Mama Ayahuasca
My vision is freedom
No motherfuckin’ government gon’ lead me by the hand
My people pray
Tho’ for me God ain’t no expert
Cold is how I took my life
Now all I hear has hue and depth
Now pictures in 3D I’m seeing
Up high Not Disney Pixar, but a trip with DMT
Around ancestors spirits, snakes and wolves
I hear voices as if in Twin Peaks
Never had coke, never had a pixy stick
Never cause this way I wouldn’t be exotic
And right now I’m so high that I talk to the guy above
So high that I talk to the guy above
Talk to the guy above, talk to the guy above
[Verse 2: Quebonafide]
Now who is more stoned?
Life slowly flies by, frame by frame
I see so many colors thanks to this changa
So shut the fuck up about the apartheid
When I was a kid and I was little
When the TV was still black’n’white
Here people quarreled like two lions
Now you couldn’t tell blood from water
Evil people cry when Scar dies
Off the statues Nelson Mandela grins
The nightmare ends yet Krüger’s still here
Somebody yells: “Stop or I won't shoot!”
[Bridge: Quebonafide]
Everyone went through a long way to have no fear
I’ve just one brother yet they all call me “bro”
I’m not a blind kid staring west anymore
Cause the only western thing I’ve got is the flow on my track, boy
[Chorus: Quebonafide]
Freedom – my vision is the freedom!
Freedom – what would you do to get the freedom?
Freedom – people here wanted some of the freedom
Freedom – all they saw was a horror
Freedom – my vision is the freedom!
Freedom – what would you do to get the freedom?
Freedom – people here wanted some of the freedom
Freedom – all they saw was a horror
[Verse 3: iFani]
Ndivile, ndivile, ndivile, Thixo Somandla ndivile
Bathi iAfrika inyisiwe, nam Thixo ndinyile
But si-si-since I’ve been focusing less on iCash and iStress sokuzenzela
?ISuccess, I am happy to say to the masses I’m still in the mess but I’m feeling blessed
Indifundisile iKwashiorkor xa ulambile kuphel'inyongo
(Molo) Cześć, (Molo) Cześć
Jonga ePoland ndibafundisa uMolo
Back to lento bendiyithetha, ndiliyekile iphepha
Xebe, ndifund'enye indlela yokuzenzela iphepha
Mamelani apha ndinenze ooKleva
You have to be happy with all that you have, love who you are
Appreciating wherever you are if you want to go far, ey
And some people think: ‘Africa’s a nightmare’, shame
I have a dream, I’m in a cave attracting some fortune and fame, Martin Lion King!
Africa!
