Lyrics

Rain is very important in Africa And when no rains come Many people and animals get sick And sometimes even die In some parts of Africa People do a dance to bring on the rain Praying for the rain to come It's a very sad dance But when the rains finally come There is a big celebration We are beside ourselves with joy Young boys and girls run outside Jumping up and down Chanting this song Even I, the tortoise Who doesn't like water on my dry shell Have been known to jump for joy in the rain Tsapa yeye Tsapa yeye Ngizokhula nini Ngizokhula f'sasa Tsapa yeye Ngama nana phela Phela sengikhulile Tsapa yeye Tsapa yeye Tsapa yeye Tsapa yeye Ngizululiyana Tsapa yeye Tsapa yeye Ngizululiyana Tsapa yeye Tsapa yeye Ngizululiyana Tsapa yeye Tsapa yeye Ngizululiyana Tsapa yeye Tsapa yeye Ngizululiyana Tsapa yeye Tsapa yeye Ngizululiyana Tsapa yeye Tsapa yeye Ngizululiyana Tsapa yeye Tsapa yeye Ngizululiyana Tsapa yeye Tsapa yeye Ngizululiyana Rain helps flowers and plants grow And it helps children grow too This is a good song to sing next time It rains in your part of the world Tsapa yeye Tsapa yeye Ngizululiyana
