[ Featuring Letta Mbulu, The Wattsline Choir ]
Weeping willow tree
Tell me what you know
River were you cryin'
Many rains ago? (Koleba je wo)
Sacred baobab tree
Lost your children to the sea
Taken from the land
Many rains ago
Koleba je wo (goodbye Motherland)
Koleba je wo
Wo, wo, wo
Sing me that old song
From many rains ago
Goodbye Motherland
Koleba je wo
Koleba je wo
Koleba je wo
When I die I'll live on and on
For many rains to come
Koleba je wo (goodbye Motherland)
(Koleba, Koleba)
Koleba je wo (goodbye)
(Koleba, Koleba) goodbye Motherland
Koleba je wo
(Koleba, Koleba)
Koleba je wo
(Koleba, Koleba)
Koleba je wo (goodbye)
(Koleba, Koleba) my Motherland
Koleba je wo
(Koleba, Koleba)
Koleba je wo
(Koleba, Koleba)
Koleba je wo
(Koleba, Koleba)
Koleba
Ko-Koleba je wo
For many rains to come
