Shut Up - Lucky Dube

Don’t close the door behind you

You might wanna go through it someday

Don’t burn that bridge

You might wanna cross it someday

Your best friends today

Could be your worst enemies to morrow

Your worst enemies today

Could be your best friends tomorrow

Don’t burn the bridge

Don’t cross the door

And if you can’t say something good about somebody

Oh shut up

And if you can’t say something about somebody

Just shut up

Ungafakaz' amanga ngomakhelwane wakho

Ungakhulumi I’ndaba ezingafuni wena

Vul’umlomo wakho ufak’ipapa lakho

Vul’umlomo wakho ufak’inyama yakho

Ungakhulumi’ndaba uxabanis’abantu

Uma uthanda futhi ufak’amachips

Amagwinya wona uwashiya nobani?

Don’t say those words that will hurt people

Don’t do those things that will hurt people

The things you say today

Will come and haunt you tomorrow

The things you do today

Will come and haunt you tomorrow

Do unto others as you would like them do unto you

And if you can’t say something good about somebody

Oh shut up

And if you can’t say something good about somebody

Just shut up

Reap

Ungafakaz’amanga…

Till fade
