Lyrics
Ibabeni njalo bakithi [Hold on tight, my people] Ninga dinwa  [Don't get weary] Ninga phelelwa nga mandla [Don't lose your strength] Siya ba bona  [We can see] Bebe fun' ukusi xeda [They wanted to hold us back] One by one Ngeke ba lunge  [They will not succeed] One by one Sizo nqoba  [We will win] One by one Ngeke ba lunge  [They will not succeed] One by one (Repeat)

Sizo nqoba  [We will win] Ngoba thina  [Because] Siya zazi  [We know who we are]

Ngoba thina  [Because] Siya zazi  [We know who we are] (Repeat)

Zobona bayabaleka [Come and see] Zobon, zobona  [The cowards are running away] Zobon, zobona Zobon, zobona Zobon Amagwala

Ibala lami  [The color of my skin] Elimnyama  [That is dark] Ndiya zidla ngalo [I'm proud of it]

Ibala lami  [The color of my skin] Elimnyama  [That is dark] Ndiza kufa nalo  [I will die with it]

Ibala lami  [The color of my skin] Elimnyama  [That is dark] Ndiya zidla ngalo [I'm proud of it]

Kumnandi  [Oh yes] Kwelakakith Eafrica [It's beautiful in Africa]
