Hawa Beke Mama Oye  Hamba ugadile (be alert and be on guard)  I feel a river in flood in my veins  I can feel your love in my brain  It wants to dance my life  Through a hurricane  Dance the mamba across  The Oshakati plain  Chorus:  Hamba ugadile 'mntanami (be alert and be on guard my child)  The world has crocodile eyes  And if you dance the  Oshakati mamba  Remember to cross yourself twice --  Are you ready  Hawa Beke Mama Oye  Hamba ugadile (be alert and be on guard)  I need to sail away, escape this cage  I can see the sky and the Milky Way  Be my lover tonight, show me the wisdom of life  Dance the mamba, across the Oshakati night  Hamba ugadile 'mntanami (be alert and be on guard my child)  The world has crocodile eyes  And if you dance the  Oshakati mamba  Remember to cross yourself twice --  Are you ready  And if you dance the  Oshakati mamba  You'll be dancing on desert air  Like a seagull searching for the ocean  Like a lover playing solitaire
