[Intro / Tribal Chant] Amandla! Amandla! Impi yothando, impi yothando... (Vukani, vukani... rise up, warriors) Eish, this heart is heavy, ne... [Verse 1] Yoh, my heart is broken, but my chest don't bend I'm a warrior of love, this ain't the end Every tear I dropped is a war drum sound Ngiyakuthanda, even when I'm down Took hits nobody ever saw me take A Zulu warrior's love, it don't break Impi yothando, I march, I don't fear Sisi, for you I fall, for you I stand up here [Pre-Chorus] Vukani, vukani, lift up your shield Simunye, we're one, that pain gon' heal Thula, thula, calm down that ache, ne Amandla is the strength that carries love away [Chorus] Amandla! Amandla! (that's the power, hey) Wounded warrior, but I'm never defeated, ne Impi yothando, the drum beats in my chest Simunye, simunye, together till the last breath Broken heart, but painted up in colour Every scar's a story, hey, we don't need no other Amandla! Amandla! [Verse 2] Colours of my tribe, wrapped around my pain Red like the struggle, gold like the flame Danced in the ashes where the love went cold Rose up a warrior, my fire's still bold Ngiyakuthanda, shout it from afar Impi yothando marching, that's who we are Every scar I carry is a victory line Written in blood and light, this story's mine [Bridge / Chant] Vukani! Vukani! Simunye! Simunye! Impi yothando, impi yothando... (tribal drums building, group chants and claps, "Eish! Sharp sharp!") [Final Chorus] Amandla! Amandla! Wounded warrior, but I'm never defeated, ne Impi yothando, the drum beats in my chest Simunye, simunye, together till the last breath Broken heart, but full of colour still A dancing warrior, love's the only skill Amandla! Amandla! Ngiyakuthanda... forever, my warrior love [Outro] Vukani... Simunye... Amandla... Sharp sharp, ne... (tribal drums and echoing chants fading out)
