Shut Up Lyrics - Lucky Dube

Don't close the door behind you 

You might wanna go through it someday 

Don't burn that bridge 

You might wanna cross it someday 

Your best friends today 

Could be your worst enemies to morrow 

Your worst enemies today 

Could be your best friends tomorrow 

Don't burn the bridge 

Don't cross the door 

Chorus 

And if you can't say something good about somebody 

Oh shut up 

And if you can't say something about somebody 

Just shut up. 

Ungafakaz' amanga ngomakhelwane wakho 

Ungakhulumi I'ndaba ezingafuni wena 

Vul'umlomo wakho ufak'ipapa lakho 

Vul'umlomo wakho ufak'inyama yakho 

Ungakhulumi'ndaba uxabanis'abantu 

Uma uthanda futhi ufak'amachips 

Amagwinya wona uwashiya nobani? 

Don't say those words that will hurt people 

Don't do those things that will hurt people 

The things you say today 

Will come and haunt you tomorrow 

The things you do today 

Will come and haunt you tomorrow 

Do unto others as you would like them do unto you 

And if you can't say something good about somebody 

Oh shut up 

And if you can't say something good about somebody 

Just shut up 

Reap 

Ungafakaz'amanga... 

Till fade
