Impi! wo ?nans? impi iyezas Obani bengathinta amabhubesi? All along the river Chelmsford?s army lay asleep, Come to crush the children of Mageba Come to exact the Realm?s price for peace GA And in the morning as they saddled up to ride, Their eyes shone with the fire and the steel The General told them of the task that lay ahead, To bring the People of the Sky to heel Impi! wo ?nans? impi iyeza Obani bengathinta amabhubesi? Impi! wo ?nans? impi iyeza Obani bengethinta amabhubesi? Mud and sweat on polished leather, Warm rain seeping to the bone They rode through the season?s wet weather, Straining for a glimpse of the foe GA Hopeless battalion destined to die, Broken by the Benders of Kings Vainglorious General and Victorian pride, Would cost him and eight hundred men their lives Impi! wo ?nans? impi iyeza Obani bengathinta amabhubesi? Impi! wo ?nans? impi iyeza Obani bengathinta amabhubesi? They came to the side of the mountain Scouts rode out to spy the land Even as the Realm?s soldiers lay resting Mageba?s forces were soon at hand And by the evening the vultures were wheeling GA Above the ruins where the fallen lay An ancient song as old as the ashes Echoed as Mageba?s warriors marched away Impi! wo ?nans? impi iyeza Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?

This may not be perfect, but I noticed there was nothing on the site for either Juluka or Johnny Clegg, so had to try. If you haven?t heard this music, you are missing out. It is some of the coolest, craziest, beautiful music ever made. I must say, I would like to know about the story behind the song. If anyone, Johnny Clegg included, could drop an at fhowell@audubon.k12.ia.us
