Savuka Are You Ready
Hawa Beke Mama Oye Hamba ugadile (be alert and be on guard) I feel a river in flood in my veins I can feel your love in my brain It wants to dance my life Through a hurricane Dance the mamba across The Oshakati plain Chorus: Hamba ugadile 'mntanami (be alert and be on guard my child) The world has crocodile eyes And if you dance the Oshakati mamba Remember to cross yourself twice -- Are you ready Hawa Beke Mama Oye Hamba ugadile (be alert and be on guard) I need to sail away, escape this cage I can see the sky and the Milky Way Be my lover tonight, show me the wisdom of life Dance the mamba, across the Oshakati night Hamba ugadile 'mntanami (be alert and be on guard my child) The world has crocodile eyes And if you dance the Oshakati mamba Remember to cross yourself twice -- Are you ready And if you dance the Oshakati mamba You'll be dancing on desert air Like a seagull searching for the ocean Like a lover playing solitaire
