Black Is Beautiful Lyrics

Ladysmith Black Mambazo Black Is Beautiful

I'm so glad (I'm glad)
To have many friends
black and white
Indians and colors
national, international

I'm so glad (I'm glad)
To have many friends
black and white
Indians and colors
national, international

I'm proud (I'm proud)
proud to be an African
African like you

I'm proud (I'm proud)
proud to be an African
African like you

I am happy (i am happy)
happy to be black
black like you

I am happy (i am happy)
happy to be black
black like you

we we we we
we were fearful
that our voices
would be transferred
into the marshes
and we would no longer be able to sing

our selfs

what was given to us was that
was that we would continue to sing
in the marshes long after our death

I'm proud (I'm proud)
proud to be an African
African like you

its why they say
black is beautiful (X's 30ish)
