Shadowland (ft. Heather Headley)

Shadowland
[LIONESSES]
Fatshe leso lea halalela
Fatshe leso lea halalela
[NALA]
Shadowland
The leaves have fallen
This shadowed land
This was our home
The river's dry
The ground has broken
So I must go
Now I must go

And where the journey may lead me
Let your prayers be my guide
I cannot stay here, my family
But I'll remember my pride
(sung in counterpoint)
[LIONESSES]
Pride Land
My land
Tear-stained
Dry land
Take this
With you
Fatshe leso
[NALA]
I have no choice
I will find my way
Lea halalela
Take this prayer
What lies out there
Fatshe leso
Lea halalela
(instrumental break)
[LIONESSES]
And where the journey may lead you
Let this prayer be your guide
Though it may take you so far away
Always remember your pride
[RAFIKI]
Oh
Wanatali n’suyeye bababo
Haya haya uo haya uo ayaba
N’guala lawagnata
Ngiza haya za u’te’
Nga di wagna ta usgnisibale
Ngere ciba seu, ngera ciba seu
Haya
Haya
[NALA & LIONESSES]
Fatshe leso lea halalela
Fatshe leso lea halalela
(sung in counterpoint)
[LIONESSES]
And where the journey may lead you
Let this prayer be your guide
Though it may take you so far away
Always remember your pride
And where the journey may lead you
Let this prayer be your guide
Though it may take you so far away
Always remember your pride

[NALA]
And where the journey may lead me
Let your prayers be my guide
Though it may take me so far away
I'll remember my pride
Ngiza buya bo, ngiza buya bo
I will return, I will return
Oh, beso bo
Ngiza buya bo
I will return
Ngiza buya bo
Oh, ngiza buya bo
Beso bo, my people
Beso bo
