Amambuka, amambuka azothengisa izwe lakithi, izwe lakithi (The betrayers, the
betrayers will sell our land, our land)
He was taken in the
night They came without any warning No time to hide or fight They came
like bees aswarming The questions start to fly Will he break or will he
defy? Can he withstand the worst that is to come? A child in a man's
clothing Resisting the fascist' ploy The underground puts iron in the
heart of any boy Swimming in a sea of pain, he knows this is the end He
hears himself whisper the name of his best friend
Chorus: I never
betrayed you, and I never betrayed the revolution I just didn't want to die
alone, I needed you to see me home And if I could save you, and if I could
find a solution I would die a thousand times, to get you out of
here
Sharing the same cold cell Betrayer and betrayed An island
with two frightened castaways Not a word is spoken, How can he
explain? Through swollen eyes they watch the dawn's first rays It's all
over now They stand backs to the wall Waiting for the fascist's sword to
fall In the desperation of a young life about to end He turns before the
bullet And forgives a friend
