Capetown - Harry Belafonte

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, I’m drowning in your beauty

Capetown, but my heart’s 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
