Bull Heart Lyrics

Johnny Clegg Bull Heart

I would like to be the one
Who populates your dreams
I would like to be the sun
And shine down on your knees
There’s a black bull raging thru’ my heart
And it’s running straight and true
I can feel the earth move under my feet
As I come closer to you

Chorus:
AYIHLABI INKUNZI YAMI
My bull stabs deeply
IJIKIJELA EWENI
It throws its opponents off a cliff
AYIHLABI, ITHETA ‘MACALA, IYAGONYONZA
It defeats its enemies and court cases are prosecuted
HAWU, MINA NGIKUTHANDA,
Oh, but I love you
HAWU, MINA NGIYASHISA, NGYAFA
I’m burning, I'm dying

I would like to be the sky
You could be my blue
You could be a dancing foot
And I could be your shoe
Oh, it’s hot in here and I need some air
I’ll wait outside for you
Come what may, there will be a day
I will wake up next to you

CHORUS
