One By One

Music by Lebo M
Lyrics by Lebo M


Ibambeni 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 qeda (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

Ibambeni 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 qeda (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
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)
Ngoba thina (Because)
Siya zazi (We know who we are)
Ngoba thina (Because)
Siya zazi (We know who we are)

Ibala lami elimnyama (The color of my skin which is dark)
Ndiya zidla ngalo (I'm proud of it)
Ibala lami elimnyama (The color of my skin which is dark)
Ndiza kufa nalo (I will die with it)
(Repeat until fade)
