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

Zobona bayabaleka (Come and see)
Zobon, zobona (Come)
Zobon, zobona (Come)
Zobon, zobona (Come)
Zobon, amagwala (The cowards are running away)

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)
Ibala lami elimnyama (The color of my skin which is dark)
Ndiya zidla ngalo (I'm proud of it)
Kumnandi (Oh yes)
Kwelakakith Eafrica (It's beautiful in Africa)
