TZANANA (traditional)
Lyrics: Mziyanda Mdodosa and Vumile Sitokisi
VERSE 1 (Mzi) Ayu’ tsotsi usisigebenga Yo a badman is a killer
Ayu’ tsotsi udlala ‘ma(dize) A badman plays dice
Ayu’ tsotsi usisigebenga Yo a badman is a killer
Ayu’ tsotsi udlala ‘ma(dize) A badman plays dice
CHORUS Tsanana tsanana
Tsanana yo
We tsanana
Khawuyeke lento x2
VERSE 2 (Mzi) Ayu’ tsotsi usisgebenga
Ay ‘utsotsi u-robabantu
Ay ‘utsotsi ureyipa abo-sister
Ayu’ tsotsi ukushiy’ ukhathele
CHORUS
VERSE 3 (Mzi) Saphel’ isonks sabantutwana There go the children and
bread
Tzanana ubo vuk’ uphangele Go and find a job
Ngoba le mali iyasetyenzelwa ‘Cause money don’t come
easy
Tzanana hambu yodidizi ‘span Tzanana go and try harder
