Hayi-ya, lashon' ilanga
Yebo, mama, mama
Heyi, hey', umhlaba, phela
Heyi, heyi, mama
Hayi, kuyakhalwa kulezo ntaba

Your darkness sidles up beside me
And whispers softly in my ear
I'll show you things that you will never forget
And I'll tell you the truth that you won't want to hear

Don't even try to find a reason
(Reason)
Just let my anger be your guide
Your speculation's out of season
(Season)
The options you've toyed with are tears that I've cried
The people are calling:

Trouble tonight
Trouble tonight
Trouble tonight
Trouble tonight

When rage breaks the silence of the waiting
When pain turns sorrow into pride
We will see things and hear things that we will never forget
And unearth the truth that we wanted to hide

When action is its only reason
Thank God obstructions stem the tide
Procrastination's out of season
It would seem that the impasse alone will decide
The people are calling:

Trouble tonight
Trouble tonight
Trouble tonight
Trouble tonight

Trouble tonight
Trouble tonight

Some trouble tonight

Trouble tonight
(Tonight)
Trouble tonight
(Tonight)
Trouble tonight
(Tonight)
Trouble tonight
(Tonight)
Trouble tonight
(Tonight)
Trouble tonight
(Tonight)
Trouble tonight
(Tonight)
