| 作词 : Masekela, Todd | |
| The children got a letter from the master | |
| It said: no more Xhosa, Sotho, no more Zulu. | |
| Refusing to comply they sent an answer | |
| That's when the policemen came to the rescue | |
| Children were flying bullets dying | |
| The mothers screaming and crying | |
| The fathers were working in the cities | |
| The evening news brought out all the publicity: | |
| Chorus: "Just a little atrocity, deep in the city" | |
| Soweto blues | |
| Soweto blues | |
| Soweto blues | |
| Soweto blues | |
| Benikuphi ma madoda (where were the men) | |
| Abantwana beshaywa (when the children were throwing stones) | |
| Ngezimbokodo Mabedubula abantwana (when the children were being shot) | |
| Benikhupi na (where were you?) | |
| There was a full moon on the golden city | |
| Looking at the door was the man without pity | |
| Accusing everyone of conspiracy | |
| Tightening the curfew charging people with walking | |
| Yes, the border is where he was awaiting | |
| Waiting for the children, frightened and running | |
| A handful got away but all the others | |
| Hurried their chain without any publicity | |
| Chorus: "Just a little atrocity, deep in the city" | |
| Soweto blues | |
| Soweto blues | |
| Soweto blues | |
| Soweto blues | |
| Chorus: Benikuphi ma madoda (where were the men) abantwana beshaywa (when the children were throwing stones) ngezimbokodo | |
| Mabedubula abantwana (when the children were being shot) Benikhupi na (where were you?) | |
| Soweto blues | |
| Soweto blues | |
| Soweto blues - abu yethu a mama | |
| Soweto blues - they are killing all the children | |
| Soweto blues - without any publicity | |
| Soweto blues - oh, they are finishing the nation | |
| Soweto blues - while calling it black on black | |
| Soweto blues - but everybody knows they are behind it | |
| Soweto Blues - without any publicity | |
| Soweto blues - they are finishing the nation | |
| Soweto blues - god, somebody, help! | |
| Soweto blues - (abu yethu a mama) | |
| Soweto blues |
