Hawu! Bheka Mama! Oye!   Hamb'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:   Hamb'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      Hawu! Bheka Mama! Oye!   Hamb'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      Hamb'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
