Wo liyeza - wo tomorrow
Wo liyeza - it´s coming down

You´ve got to rol with the punches and change with the times
Don´t let today forget yesterday´s smiles
Undermeath all some things never die
We´ve got to listen to the rhythm, keep moving you and I
Last time when we said hello
We spoke about these things
We listened to the radio
And heard the Gumba man sing
He said: "You´ve got to keep alive, don´t get left behind
The Gumba Jive will take you to a better side"

{Refrain:}
And so we´ll dance the Gumbagumba Jive again, oh yea, one more time,
"You´ve got to keep alive - Gumbagumba!
Jive! Jive! You´ve got to move to keep alive,
You don´t know where you might
Lay your head tonight -O-O-O-"

Now the days are hard and the nights are as lonely
I never see you, you never come around, you never phone me
So I listen to the rhythm of the Gumbagumba man
So I listen to the rhythm of the Gumbagumba man
Ngijayiva njengenkalakala nginikinik´ ikhanda nje
I´ve got to keep alive, I won´t get left behind
Gumba Jive will take me to a better side

{au Refrain}
