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

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 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
