so that I would give up my faith and hope.)

SELIMNYAMA HAWU WASI QAMBELA AMANGA
(that is what you said -- you said that our future is hopeless,
our tomorrow is bleak, you were lying,
trying to mislead us)

It's just when this will be, we cannot know)

(Me holding on one side, you holding on the other side
together we will pull through)
THINA NAWE, THINA NAWE
(you and me, you and me)

UMOYA WAMI ONAKELE
(my spirits are down)
WENA WEMTAKA ANTIE HAWU WANGI SHAYISA UVALO
(I say to you child of my aunt, you have caused me great fear)
WASHO NJALO! WATHI IKUSASA LETHU

(You told lies, trying to mislead me,
so that I would give up my faith and hope.)
WASHO NJALO! WATHI IKUSASA LETHU

our tomorrow is bleak, you were lying,
trying to mislead us)

(come true courage, for it is you who gives
life and takes it away
MINA NGAPHA -- WENA NGAPHA SIZOYIBAMBA
(me on this side, you on the other,
we will hold it together)
UNGALALLELI LAW' AMANGA 'MNGANE WAMI
(don't listen to the lies of my compatriot)
OH SIZOBAHLULA THINA NAWA
(we will be victorious in the end, just you and me)
OH THINA NAMA
(just you and me)

I saw the Berlin Wall fall
I saw Mandela walk free
I saw a dream whose time has come
Change my history -- so keep on dreaming

Deam on dreamer, dreamer

In the best of times and in the worst of times
gotta keep looking at the skyline
not at a hole in the road
Your time will come, sister, your time will come
nobody's gonna rush history, we have to ease it along
-- just ease it along
