Lyrics Harry Belafonte

Harry Belafonte

Paradise in Gazankulu

Finda, finda the card is quick

If you catch the black eye, you catch the trick

So make your move, baas, but it could fool you

That's paradise here in Gazankulu

(Oh yes, ha ha ha)

Watch the card, don't watch the hand

It could take you to the promised land

Ah, Sissanyana, my sheebin queen

(Ah ah ah ah)

She ain't too pretty, but she body mean

(Whoop)

Lot's of good things that she'll do to you

(Oh no)

That's paradise here in Gazankulu

(Ahh ahh ya way na coh thu ku ki laka gaza)

How much you pay, how much it worth

(Ahh ahh ya way na coh thu ku ki laka gaza)

To get a bit o' heaven here on earth. (Eh)

Ah the bells of Zion tell you to pray

For the life hereafter, they make you pay. (Whoop)

But I'm just dealin' not tryin' to rule you (Oh yes ha ha)

That's paradise here in Gazankulu

(Ahh ahh ya way na coh thu ku ki laka gaza)

Take a chance, and I'll show you how

(Ahh ahh ya way na coh thu ku ki laka gaza)

You can go to glory, now

(Ahh ahh ya way na coh thu ku ki laka gaza)

Watch the card, don't watch the hand

(Ahh ahh ya way na coh thu ku ki laka gaza)

Try to catch me, if you can

I ain't no tsotsi, I ain't that mean

My cards are tricky, but my game is clean

How much you pay?

How much it worth?

To get a little heaven right

Here on earth?

(Kunjani, Uh)

I'm the Shangaan

Pope of hope.

I do the African

Rope-a-dope

(Sikoni, ahh ahh ya way na coh thu ku ki laka gaza, baas)

How you see it

Now you see it

Sometimes you get it

Sometimes you won't

Ah well, in case you forget

Here's a reminder

The best game in town

Is finda, finda

(Ahh ahh ya way na coh thu ku ki laka gaza)

(Amandla)

(Ahh ahh ya way na coh thu ku ki laka gaza)

(Ga way tu)

(Ahh ahh ya way na coh thu ku ki laka gaza)

I said I ain't no tsotsi, I ain't that mean

My cards are tricky, my game is clean

How much you pay? How much it worth

To get a bit of heaven here on earth?
