I'm looking for the original Xhosa lyrics to "Mbombela" (The Train
Song).  Harry Belafonte and Miriam Makeba made a recording of it about
45 years ago.

Hi lengoldstein,

I wanted to let you know I searched for a long time and wasn't able to
locate Mbombela lyrics for you.  One of the problems is obviously the
Xhosa language, which employs three basic click sounds.

Best regards,

Hello, 

   I also could not find the lyrics, but you can hear Harry Belafonte
and Miriam Makeba singing the song here. The fourth song is The Train
Song, and you simply need to click on "The Train Song":
