Verse 1:

[C] [G] [Am]

I was the only one who witnessed my homecoming

[G]-[F] [G] [F] [G] [C]

So I asked myself: Brother Joseph, how've you been?

[C] [G] [Am]

Then I met an old man who knew me as a boy

[G]-[F] [G] [F] [G] [C]

(I) said, Father, where've the people, where've the homesteads gone?

[F] [G] [Am]

And he said, Son, I'll be old until I die now

[F] [G] [F] [G] [C]

And then I will join our people in the sky

[F] [G] [Am]

I am not the one to ask the reasons why

[G]-[F] [G] [F] [G] [C]

Your brothers and your sisters have been scattered in the wind

Chorus:

[C]

And he said old eyes (mehlomadala)

[Am]

You've got old eyes, boy (mehlomadala)

[F] [G] [C]

You've seen much too much for one so young

[G]-[C]

He said old eyes (mehlomadala)

[Am]

You've got old eyes, boy (mehlomadala)

[Dm] [F] [Am]-[G]

Child, from whence have you come?

Verse 2:

[C] [G] [F] [C]

When I left that mountain land so gold and green

[Am] [G] [F] [G] [C]

I was a sturdy sixteen years

[C] [G] [F] [C]

Work was hard and the wage was low

[Am] [G] [F] [C]

And the seasons passed me by one by one

[F] [G] [Am]

And I dreamed, Maria, you would wait for my return

[F] [G] [F] [G] [C]

We'd build a home upon the rock, beneath the smiling sun

[F] [G] [Am]

But as the old man used to say when I was young

[F] [G] [F] [G] [C]

People come and people go, but the mountain still remains

Zulu chorus:

[C] [Am]

And he said mehlomadala, mehlomadala

[F] [G] [C]

Ang(i)sakwaz(i) wemganam(i)

[G]-[C] [Am]

He said mehlomadala, mehlomadala

[Dm] [F] [Am]-[G]

(U)qhamkaphi wena wemganam(i)

(instrumental break...)

Repeat English chorus...

Repeat Zulu chorus...

End.

Meaning of Zulu words:

mehlomadala : old eyes (mehlo = eyes, madala = old)

ang(i)sakwaz(i) : I don't know you anymore (i.e. it's been a long time since I saw you)

wemganam(i) : my friend (wemngani = friend, wami = my)

uqhamkaphi wena : where are you coming from i.e. where have you been (uqhamuka =

you coming, kuphi = where, wena = you)
