Umaqondana Ngwane (Version 2)

Verse

Paper lanterns swaying on the wire fence line

Speakers rattling through the tin roof sign

Your cousin teaching you the shuffle like it's slow dance

We got the whole town singing in a borrowed band

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel that kick drum pushing through the floor?

Something waking up behind your eyes once more

Say one word, let's do this right tonight

Hold my hand and step into the light

Chorus

Umaqondana ngwane, umaqondana ngwane

Moving like we own the whole night

Hands to the sky where the red sun goes down again

Umaqondana ngwane, never let it fall now

Verse

Rope light buzzing overhead in a tangled web of sound

Your mother laughing over by the fence post round

Someone's playing that old song on a borrowed phone

We're the only ones moving to this beat alone

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel that kick drum pushing through the floor?

Something waking up behind your eyes once more

Say one word, let's do this right tonight

Hold my hand and step into the light

Chorus

Umaqondana ngwane, umaqondana ngwane

Moving like we own the whole night

Hands to the sky where the red sun goes down again

Umaqondana ngwane, never let it fall now

Bridge

Let it go with the wind tonight

No more holding back the light

Every heartbeat on this block is mine and yours tonight

We are fire, we are loud, we are the sky tonight

Chorus

Umaqondana ngwane, umaqondana ngwane

Moving like we own the whole night

Hands to the sky where the red sun goes down again

Umaqondana ngwane, never let it fall now
