Wozani ndithe ndithengis’inkumbulo wo
Ndililanga ngonyezi
Ndingumnqweno wezolo
Ndililizwi egazini
Ndisisingqi samaphupha
Ndilithemba balifela
Ndizinyembezi zantshula
Ndililanga liyaphuma
Ndiyingoma yobomi hey
Ndiyingoma yobomi
Ningathi niy’ve ngam lendaba
Niyayazi nani
Ningathi niy’ve ngam lendaba
Niyayazi nani
Wozani ndithe ndithengis’inkumbulo wo
Wandizala weh mnt’omnyama
Wandibek’es’hlalweni
Zandisusa izizwe
Zandilahl’ezindongeni
Nyawo zam zondimela
Zoth’ikhona indlela
Ndivumele ndize ndize
Mama ndize ekhaya
Ningathi niy’ve ngam lendaba
niyayazi nani
Ningathi niy’ve ngam lendaba
niyayazi nani
Ningathi niy’ve ngam lendaba
niyayazi nani
Ndilithemba balifela
Ndizinyembezi zantshula
Ndililanga liyaphuma
Ndiyingoma yobomi
Wozani ndithe ndithengis’inkumbulo wo
Ningathi niy’ve ngam lendaba
niyayazi nani
Ningathi niy’ve ngam lendaba
niyayazi nani
Ningathi niy’ve ngam lendaba
niyayazi nani
I know your heart’s been brutalized
Your pride has taken quite a knocking
Made you ashamed of who you are
Still they can’t take your soul away
Now I know that things don’t look too good
Poverty is rife...
