Around the strangers moved, the shouts I felt within    New panoramas seen (I loved it as it was).    Forests of pylons built, the scaffolding is raised    And how the men pursue their worrk    They act convinced of freedom.       Crossed over by the bridge    The brook was running ill.    We recognised the place - places we knew as children    We wept upon the sight, and progress tore our hearts    Fences divide the land, homes boxed like rabbit hutches.       Goodbye to the village    Goodbye to the village       Where soil will not provide, no king and land are one    Monopolise the holy ground, all that we hold as sacred    No harvest moon shall rise, no valley homestead seen    And now the cities never end, and how the cities stretch forever       And in the morning promise me great times will come again    And the homelands in our hearts will never fade away    Let the legends promise me the earth shall rise again    And homelands in the hearts of men shall never fade away.          Goodbye to the village    Goodbye to the village    Goodbye to the village    Goodbye to the village       I'll never never see my home    I'll never never see my home       You'll never never see your home    You'll never never see your home
