Lyrics: Vimbai Mango/Barney Whittaker/Belinda Zhawi Music: Barney Whittaker/Vimbai Mango/Belinda Zhawi Light Light
I know that song when it sings to me With the hum With the hum Oh it sings to me With a tone so softly
You’re bad and you’re bold and you’re grown and you know that you’re strong in your thoughts And you’re black and you’re beautiful You’re bad and you’re bold and you’re grown and you know that you’re strong in your thoughts And you’re brown and you’re beautiful
Tiri Shiri dzakasungukuka mumhepo Mashavishavi anobhururuka pamusoro Dzinodarika zvinhu zvose Bhururuka You’re bad and you’re bold Bhururuka You’re bad and you’re bold
Haubatike nekuti, uri shiri Yaka sungukuka mumhepo Uri shiri rino bhururuka pamusoro Rinodarika zvinhu zvose
Drag yourself through this day Eat nothing, drink water, break light Break fast, break even Break just enough to leave it whole still
Uri shiri rino yakasununguka mumhepo Shavi rino bhururuka pamusoro Rinodarika zvinhu zvose
Speak yourself into existence For you are the God of yourself And you do walk on water Drag your body through this day Shaura, Tamba, Idja Bata Mazwi ayi Kuitira mangwana
Tiri shiri dzakasununguka mumhepo
Oh it sings to me with a tone so softly
And emerge into the night A swamp baby Full of still waters And courage Like a barren field in this storm Like a barren field in this storm
You’re bad and you’re bold and you’re bright and you’re beautiful You’re bad and you’re bold and you’re brown and you’re beautiful You’re bad and you’re bold and you’re bright and you’re beautiful You’re bad and you’re bold and you’re brown and you’re beautiful
