lirik lagu latin quarter – nomzamo
nine children in one family
nine xhosa wars
nomzamo in 1960
already victim of her country’s laws
i say ‘laws’, why dignify
the sjamboks and the slammed cell doors?
in twenty years they gave her nineteen sentences –
still
one people! one cause!
one people! one cause!
nomzamo! nomzamo…
named ‘trial’ but how often can
you take the stand?
nomzamo left glued in brandfort
twenty years for a touch of his hand
but in touch and in the face of
the robben islands and the bleak pollsmoors
i see ‘separate’ – i see ‘development’ – still
one people! one cause!
one people! one cause!
nomzamo! nomzamo…
nomzamo – you say it’s part of your soul
nomzamo – one day you’ll paint it
red, black, green and gold…
told today that they release you
that you had paid your debt
nomzamo in her own d-mn country
how much more boorish can these people get?
but you refuse to get the message
of waving whips, in bl–dy semaph-r-
where only gunfire’s indiscriminate – as always
one people! one cause!
one people! one cause!
nomzamo! nomzamo…
