She sparkles like a diamond
Look at all her people
Look at them dance look at them laugh
Singing a song
They make like happy children
Wearing friendly faces
Everyone knows everyone knows they belong
Where they belong

Capetown im drowning in your beauty
Capetown but my hearts not feeling nicely
Capetown angel black white sin
Capetown there's a shadow on your mountain
Capetown there's a flaw in your sparkle
Capetown there's a crying at your crossroads
Let me in let me in let me in

The rush of silky color
The sound of dixie banjos
Mongrel melodies in quarter tones
Streets of malay marchers
Hatted in their feathers
The lilt the lilt of xhosa saxophones xhosa saxophones

Capetown there's a hole at the heart of you
A hole where district six used to be
Capetown now brown ghosts are dancing
To be free oh to be free
Capetown there's an island in your ocean
Capetown where black blood is running
Capetown hear the voices calling from your sea
You belong to me oh you belong to mehmm

Tidy whitewashed houses
Sprays of wild flowers
The heart and soul of gentility
The vineyards and the orchards
Warm white sandy beaches
Old and graceful luxury

Capetown they're squatting in your desert
Capetown in shanties made of plastic
Capetown exiles in your homeland
Capetown struggling with your reason
Capetown holding back your madness
Capetown it's a bitter fruit you harvest
Capetown oh oh

Capetown im drowning in your beauty
Capetown but my hearts not feeling nicely
Capetown angel black white as sin

Capetown there's a shadow on your mountain
Capetown there's a flaw in your sparkle
Capetown there's a crying at your crossroads
Let me in let me in let me in

Capetown it's a bitter fruit you harvest
Capetown let me in ah let me in
Capetown you belong to me
Capetown you belong to me
