[Chorus] (They’ve got) bullets for Bafazane -- They want to gun him down (They’ve got) bullets for Bafazane -- Now they’re searching the town (They’ve got) bullets for Bafazane -- And the word’s got around (They’ve got) bullets for Bafazane. [Interlude]                      [Verse 2] Eyes wide open in the backroom Finger on the trigger   Listening for any sound that will betray The silent deadly figure He’s got iron in his soul He’s got a smile in his eyes He makes dancing shoes from old car tyres And it’s the sky up above that he loves. [Chorus] (They’ve got) bullets for Bafazane -- They want to gun him down (They’ve got) bullets for Bafazane -- Now they’re searching the town (They’ve got) bullets for Bafazane -- And the word’s got around (They’ve got) bullets for Bafazane. [Interlude]                                                                [Bridge] It’s the sky up above that he loves ’Cause he’s still alive and for him that’s enough. It’s the sky up above that he loves ’Cause he’s still alive and for him that’s enough. [Chorus] (They’ve got) bullets for Bafazane -- They want to gun him down (They’ve got) bullets for Bafazane -- Now they’re searching the town (They’ve got) bullets for Bafazane -- And the word’s got around (They’ve got) bullets for Bafazane.      [Outro] (They’ve got) They got bullets bullets bullets . . .   (They’ve got) They got bullets bullets bullets . . .   (They’ve got) They got bullets bullets bullets . . .   (They’ve got) They got bullets bullets bullets . . .   (They’ve got) They got bullets bullets bullets . . .   (They’ve got) They got bullets bullets bullets . . .   (They’ve got) They got bullets bullets bullets . . .   (They’ve got) They got bullets bullets bullets . . .   (They’ve got) They got bullets bullets bullets . . .   (They’ve got) They got bullets bullets bullets . . .   (They’ve got) They got bullets bullets bullets . . .   (They’ve got) They got bullets bullets bullets . . .   (They’ve got) They got bullets bullets bullets . . .   (They’ve got) They got bullets bullets bullets . . .   (Fade Out)

La chanson évoque un homme nommé Bafazane, qui se retrouve traqué par des hommes qui souhaitent l'éliminer en raison de son audace et de la fierté de son peuple. Sa force réside dans son attitude déterminée, malgré la menace qui plane sur lui. Il est un symbole de résistance et d'espoir, aimant le ciel au-dessus de lui, ce qui traduit sa volonté de vivre librement. Le contexte semble faire référence à des luttes et des tensions sociopolitiques, où l'oppression croise le chemin de la fierté et de la résilience. Bafazane, bien que poursuivi, incarne un esprit indomptable qui fait face aux défis avec courage.
