Umbaqanga man won't you play it if you can
That special music
Umbaqanga man -- he's an African
He's got a special music

And we'll move it, we'll move it along
African music, wherever you're from
You'll never lose it -- the rhythm is strong
Umbaqanga music will move you along
Umbaqanga man can you reach me where I am
I need that music
Umbaqanga man won't you play it if you can
That special music
Chorus
And we'll move it, we'll move it along
African music, wherever you're from
You'll never lose it -- the rhythm is strong
Umbaqanga music -- a special song
