Train to Burma Lyrics by Jabali Afrika

2005

Verse 1 (Jabali Afrika):
It was in 1945
During the time of World War II
Colonial soldiers came in the village
Herding all the men they found around
The truth was never told
Chorus
A journey niende nyumbani kwetu eeh (A journey niende)
Nirudi nyumbani kwetu nirudi (A journey niende)
A journey niende nyumbani kwetu eeh (A journey niende)
The truth was never told (A journey niende) yeah
Verse 2 (Jabali Afrika):
They were told, you’re fighting the enemy
And you’ll be fighting for King George
The train is waiting for you
And you’ll be going to Burma
The truth was never told
Chorus
A journey niende nyumbani kwetu eeh (A journey niende)
Nirudi nyumbani kwetu nirudi (A journey niende)
A journey niende nyumbani kwetu eeh (A journey niende)
The truth was never told (A journey niende) yeah
Verse 3 (Jabali Afrika):
They sailed on a steamship
Great grandfather among their prisoners
Going to fight the enemy
The enemy they never knew
They went and never to return
The truth was never told
Chorus
A journey niende nyumbani kwetu eeh (A journey niende)
Nirudi nyumbani kwetu nirudi (A journey niende)
A journey niende nyumbani kwetu eeh (A journey niende)
The truth was never told (A journey niende) yeah
Outro (Jabali Afrika):
A journey niende nyumbani kwetu eeh (A journey niende)
Nirudi nyumbani kwetu nirudi (A journey niende)
Free my soul, I wanna go (A journey niende)
I can feel your spirit from afar (A journey niende)
We wanna know, we wanna know the truth (A journey niende)
