I, I wish, I wish, I wish i hunted elands in the expansive velds. A rustic warrior, A martial pedagogue. Subservient to his eminence, Lord Shaka, "The Boers approach!", wails a herald, I gather men of valiant hue; "say goodbye 2 ur wives nd children, march 2 d 'Sangoma' in a queue, The warlock conjures some elixir, his incantation's a melodic aria; we guzzle d potions in gritty bliss, i hand my spear 2 my carrier, We stride forth to defend our kraals, our belligerent eyes on fire; the huguenots are caught in ambush, as we charge at dem wit ire, My archers release the arrows, nd some enemies are felled; i clutch my talisman wit delight, nd my dignity's upheld, Our white foes unleash their muskets, as some sputtering gunnery follow; but the cannonade is vain, for we stil advance sans sorrow, "could dis be a dream?", they wonder, "or some bantu voodoo's work?"; "keep firing d bushmen!", one orders, "or we run outta luck!", Their arsenal's expended, they drop their guns nd flee; we chase nd capture d leader, nd leave every other free, Drag him back 2 my cheering kin, He cries nd begs for Freedom; his neck is set, I raise my axe, "Long Live d ZULU Kingdom!!!" |
