Awimoweh (Cm)

Start

Intro

Ekhaya Afrika, umculo uyaphila

(At home in Africa, the music lives on)

Mannheim Germany, umculo uyahlangana

(In Mannheim Germany, the music comes together)

Verse 1

A lawyer from the German streets

Discovers sounds from afar

The township jive calls to his soul

A rhythm like a guiding star

Mahlathini's voice so deep and strong

With Queens who sing in perfect time

Tom hears the call across the waves

And feels his heart begin to climb

Pre-Chorus

Two different worlds collide tonight

As drums begin to speak their truth

The basement club fills up with light

As music brings eternal youth[Chorus]

Awimoweh Tom plays in the basement

Awimoweh the crowd goes wild tonight

Awimoweh Mannheim is dancing

Awimoweh our spirits take flight

Post-Chorus

Hamba! Hamba! (Dance now!)

Hamba! Hamba! (Dance now!)

Verse 2

By day he speaks of law and order

By night his music sets us free

In Alex's club beneath the city

Tom and the groaner make history

Pre-Chorus

The basement walls are shaking

As Mannheim feels the beat

The lawyer and Mahlathini

Make this night complete

Chorus

Awimoweh Tom plays in the basement

Awimoweh the crowd goes wild tonight

Awimoweh Mannheim is dancing

Awimoweh our spirits take flight

Post-Chorus

Hamba! Hamba! (Dance now!)

Hamba! Hamba! (Dance now!)[Verse 3]

From Soweto to Deutschland's heartland

The rhythm flows across the sea

Underground the people gather

In harmony their souls run free

Bridge

The groaner's voice like thunder rolling

Tom's fingers dancing on the keys

Two worlds unite in perfect rhythm

The township sound has crossed the seas

Chorus

Awimoweh Tom plays in the basement

Awimoweh the crowd goes wild tonight

Awimoweh Mannheim is dancing

Awimoweh our spirits take flight

Outro

Hamba! Hamba! (One more time!)

Hamba! Hamba! (Feel alive!)

Awimoweh... (The night is ours!)

Awimoweh... [End][Final Chorus]

Awimoweh Tom plays in the basement

Awimoweh the crowd goes wild tonight

Awimoweh Mannheim is dancing

Awimoweh our spirits take flight

Post-Chorus

Hamba! Hamba! (Dance now!)

Hamba! Hamba! (Dance now!)

Final Verse

As morning light begins to filter

The magic lingers in the air

Two worlds forever bound together

Through music's gift so rare

Final Outro

Awimoweh... (We remember!)

Awimoweh... (We unite!)

Hamba kahle! Hamba kahle! (Go well!)

Sizobonana futhi! (Until we meet again!)

Awimoweh... (One love!)

Awimoweh... [End]
