Les paroles de la chanson
« Cruel crazy beatufil world »
Johnny Clegg

You have to wash the crocodile in the river

Tou have to swim with the sharks in the sea
You have to live with the crooked politician
Trust those things that you can never see
Ayeye ayeye jesse mfana (jesse boy) ayeye ayeye

You have to trust your lover when you go away
Keep on believing ehat tomorrow will bring a better day
Sometimes you will smile while you’re crying inside
And just once you will turn away while the truth is shining bright
Ayeye ayeye jesse mfana ayeye ayeye

Chorus
It’s a cruel crazy beautiful world
Every time you wake up I hope it’s under a blue sky
It’s a cruel crazy beautiful world
One day when yuo make up I will to say gooodbye
Gooodbye - It’s your world so live in it!

Beyond the door, strange cruel beautiful years lie waiting for you
It kills me to know you won’t escape loneliness,
Maybe you lose hope too
Ayeye ayeye jesse mfana ayeye ayeye

Chorus
When I feel your small body close to mine
I feel and strong at the same time
So few years to give you wings to fly
Show you stars to guide your ship by

Chorus

It’s your world so live in it
