[Bird Song]
I heard a sound from the bush
I looked up, I drew near
The sound I heard was
Ti, li, ti, li, ti, li.
Ntyilo , Ntyilo , Ntyilo
That melody was beautiful.
I heard the voice from the bush
I looked up, I drew near.
The voice said:
‘There is trouble in the land.’
Tra – la – tra – la.
That melody was beautiful.
The owner of the voice
Was dressed in red robes.
the words were
Tra – la , tra – la , tra -la.
That melody was beautiful
Miriam Makeba
