White stone hidden in the ground
Gonna take a life before it's found
(Indlela yase congo, Indlela yase congo)
Tribesman from jungle town
He's heading down to the digging mound
(Indlela yase congo, Indlela yase congo)
Young man in the sun
Dig for diamonds everyone
Soldiers in camouflage
Drinking and playing cards
Life pulsing with such hope
We digging down deep in the river slope
(Indlela yase congo, Indlela yase congo)
Shiny stone set me free
I'll go home a big daddy
(Indlela yase congo, Indlela yase congo)
Freedom is food to eat
Good, strong boots upon your feet
Can you sneak a small stone
By a waiting soldier's hungry eye?
