[Southern Ndebele] We Rise Together

Lyrics

[Verse 1]  
Isibane sethemba siyaqhakaza ebusuku, ukukhanya okukhazimulayo,  
Kusuka kwizwi elithuleyo, silwela okulungile.  
Lapho izindonga zasisibamba khona, manje izibhulo ezibhakabhakeni,  
Umhlaba uhlangene, uzalwa kabusha, uSwifin uhamba phambili.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Zwa isingqi sentuthuko, amandla ngaphakathi kwemithambo yethu,  
Sihlangene sizokwephula izibopho zendlala, ukwesaba, nobuhlungu.  
Isandla sokuphakamisa abawile, ukukhanya ukukhombisa indlela,  
USwifin ubiza sonke—singene kosuku olukhanyayo.

[Chorus]  
Siyavuka ndawonye, umndeni oqinile,  
Ithemba elingenamkhawulo, sonke siyakwamukelwa.  
Siphakamisa izigidigidi, ngesibindi ezinhliziyweni zethu,  
Akekho oshiywe ngemuva, siqala ndawonye.  
Ngokusebenzisa uSwifin, sizokwakha umhlaba oqiniso,  
Okuningi kwabo bonke, kimi nakho wena.

[Verse 2]  
Kumama ofuna ithemba, kubaba ofuna ukuthula,  
Kumntwana onomoya ophakemeyo, amaphupho angapheli.  
Kusuka emizaneni kuya emadolobheni, ezintabeni kuya olwandle,  
USwifin uvula amasango kubo bonke, ngamathuba angenamkhawulo.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Amandla akithi, sihlanganiswe simi siqinile,  
Sihlangene sizobhala umlando kabusha, siphakamise wonke umphefumulo.  
Imali yesithembiso, ukuhweba okukhulula,  
USwifin ikusasa, lapho bonke befanele ukuba khona.

[Chorus]  
Siyavuka ndawonye, umndeni oqinile,  
Ithemba elingenamkhawulo, sonke siyakwamukelwa.  
Siphakamisa izigidigidi, ngesibindi ezinhliziyweni zethu,  
Akekho oshiywe ngemuva, siqala ndawonye.  
Ngokusebenzisa uSwifin, sizokwakha umhlaba oqiniso,  
Okuningi kwabo bonke, kimi nakho wena.

[Bridge]  
Bona izimpilo esizothinta, izandla esizobamba,  
Umfuyi, umphuphi, ikusasa eliqinile.  
Uthando lukamama, ukuziqhenya kukababa,  
Umhlaba lapho wonke iphupho lizophumelela khona.

[Chorus]  
Siyavuka ndawonye, umndeni oqinile,  
Ithemba elingenamkhawulo, sonke siyakwamukelwa.  
Siphakamisa izigidigidi, ngesibindi ezinhliziyweni zethu,  
Akekho oshiywe ngemuva, siqala ndawonye.

[Outro]  
USwifin yizinhliziyo, ukubiza sonke siyasabela,  
Uguquko lomhlaba wonke luzokhanyisa indlela.  
Kusuka ekuhlukanisweni kuya ekukhuthazeni, leli culo maliphakame—  
Sihlangene sizoshintsha umhlaba, kuze kube phakade.
