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)
