Zimbabwe Lyrics by Dambala

1978

[Verse 1]
As it was when Jah made our land, so shall it be at the end
Where the peaceful village, and children playing around
They came four hundred years ago into our village
They took our people, they also stole our wealth

[Chorus]
Crucify Smith (Oh-oh)
Crucify Vorster and take back Abyssinia
Crucify Smith (Oh-oh)
Crucify Vorster and take back Abyssinia

[Verse 2]
Ships coming in from day to day, taking all the brothers-dem away
They took my mother and father, and sister too
They started off from the south, worked their way up to the north
Haile Selassiе I took back the north, we're still fighting for thе south
And so we are singing, yeah

[Chorus]
Crucify Smith and take back Zimbabwe
Crucify Smith and take back Namibia
Crucify Vorster and take back Abyssinia
Crucify Smith and take back Zimbabwe
Crucify Smith, we've got to take back Namibia
Crucify Vorster and take back Abyssinia

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
My brothers and sisters out there, fighting on the front line
Keep up your spirits 'cause Africa will soon be ours
As it was when Jah made our land, so shall it be at the end
We'll sacrifice our lives for what is ours (And so we are singing, yeah)

[Chorus]
Crucify Smith, make we take back Zimbabwe
Crucify Smith, we've got to take back Namibia
Crucify Vorster and take back Abyssinia (Hear we singing, yeah)

[Outro]
Crucify Smith, we've got to take back Zimbabwe
Crucify Smith, we've got to take back Namibia
Crucify Vorster and take back Abyssinia
