Lyrics

Miss Makeba, are people happy in Johannesburg? That depends on which people you're talking about. When we Speak of people in Johannesburg, we have to be specific in that In South Africa there are two separate communities, and that's The white community and the black community. I will speak for My community. I think we are happy. We dance, we sing Because to us, sometimes it's better to laugh to keep from crying Sakucuka sat' ipeka Sakucuka sat' ipeka bo Sakucuka sat' ipeka Sakucuka sat' ipeka bo Hiyo mama, hiyo mama, hiyo mama Papata pata hiyo mama, hiyo mama Hiyo mama, hiyo mama, hiyo mama Papata pata hiyo mama, hiyo mama The message I'm trying to give to my audience is not One. I am just trying to make them understand me As a person and understand my country and my people Sakucuka sat' ipeka Sakucuka sat' ipeka bo Sakucuka sat' ipeka bo Sakucuka sat' ipeka Hiyo mama, hiyo mama, hiyo mama Hiyo mama, hiyo mama, hiyo mama Hiyo mama, hiyo mama, hiyo mama Hiyo mama, hiyo mama, hiyo mama All we are worried about is to fight and liberate ourselves. What will Happen after that will depend, again, on the invaders. Until the White man comes to any place, nothing lives It's only when he comes and says, "Poof, I've Discovered you. Now you exist." Which is ridiculous
