Kwaqhum isibhamu savuthu umlilo
Kwaqhum isibhamu savuthu umlilo
Kwaqhum isibhamu savuthu umlilo
Hey ma Afrika can you feel the tension is rising
We hear voices and fire in the night
People scattering every where tasting bitterness in the air
Angry crowds' screaming and shouting
Ngisho lapha eThekwini ngisho lapha eCross Roads nalaph' eGoli
(Confusion every where mama afrika)
(Confusion every where mama afrika)
(Confusion every where mama afrika)
(Confusion every where mama afrika)
(Confusion every where mama afrika)
(Confusion every where mama afrika)
(Confusion every where mama afrika)
(Confusion every where mama afrika)
Hey ma african
The sun is covered with blood
There is fear hatred amongst each other
Our children are dying everyday
We are searching for a solution
Ehiyeh helele yo yo yo yo yo
Ngiyabuza kuzolunga nini na
Ngisho lapha eBhayi ngisho lapha eSharp Ville Nawe duduza
(Confusion every where mama afrika)
Lets get together (Confusion every where mama afrika)
We need peace in our land (Confusion every where mama afrika)
Kuzo lunga mini na (Confusion every where mama afrika)
Oh my Afrika ye (Confusion every where mama afrika)
Bambanani (Confusion every where mama afrika)
Sukumani sukumani (Confusion every where mama afrika)
Ngisho lapho eLeville ke ra moko Tswane nalapho eAlexandra
(Confusion every where mama afrika )
E Sowetho (Confusion every where mama afrika)
Nawe Thembisa (Confusion every where mama afrika)
Kagiso (Confusion every where mama afrika)
Kwaqhum isibhamu (Confusion every where mama afrika)
Savutha umlilo (Confusion every where mama afrika)
Kwaqhum isibhamu (Confusion every where mama afrika)
Savutha umlilo (Confusion every where mama afrika)
Kwaqhum isibhamu (Confusion every where mama afrika)
Savutha umlilo (Confusion every where mama afrika)
Kwaqhum isibhamu (Confusion every where mama afrika)
Savutha umlilo (Confusion every where mama afrika)
The lyrics to Condry Ziqubu's song "Confusion" paint a picture of chaos and tension in Africa, with people running and screaming in the midst of violence and protests. The repeated refrain of "Kwaqhum isibhamu savuthu umlilo" adds to the sense of turmoil, with the phrase roughly translating to "the smoke rises, the fire burns." The second verse highlights the fear and hopelessness many Africans feel, with hatred and violence leading to the death of innocent children. However, Ziqubu offers a solution in the form of unity and peace, urging his fellow Africans to come together and work towards a brighter future.
