[Zulu] We Rise Together

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Isibani sethemba siyakhanya ebusuku, ukukhanya okuphakeme,
Izwi elithule liyavuka, silwela okulungile.
Lapho izindonga zabe zivalile, manje izibopho zifinyelela esibhakabhakeni,
Umhlaba uhlangene, uzalwa kabusha, uSwifin uphambili.

[Pre-Chorus]
Zwa isingqi sentuthuko, amandla asemithanjeni yethu,
Sihlangene sizokwephula izibopho zendlala, ukwesaba, nobuhlungu.
Isandla sokuphakamisa abawileyo, ukukhanya okuholela indlela,
USwifin usibizela sonke—singene kosuku olukhanyayo.

[Chorus]
Siyavuka sonke, umndeni oqinile,
Ithemba elingenamkhawulo, sizokwamukelwa sonke.
Sikhuthaza izigidigidi, ngesibindi ezinhliziyweni zethu,
Akekho oshiywe ngemuva, siqale ndawonye.
Ngokusebenzisa uSwifin, sizokwakha umhlaba oyiqiniso,
Ocebile kubo bonke, kimi nakuwe.

[Verse 2]
Komama ofuna ithemba, kubaba ofuna ukuthula,
Kumntwana onomoya ophakeme, amaphupho angapheli.
Kusukela emizaneni kuya emadolobheni, ezintabeni kuya olwandle,
USwifin uvula izicabha kubo bonke, ngamathuba angenamkhawulo.

[Pre-Chorus]
Amandla asezandleni zethu, sihlangene siqine,
Sizobhala umlando kabusha, siphakamise wonke umphefumulo ophansi.
Imali yesithembiso, ukuhweba okusikhulula,
USwifin ikusasa, lapho bonke bezoba khona.

[Chorus]
Siyavuka sonke, umndeni oqinile,
Ithemba elingenamkhawulo, sizokwamukelwa sonke.
Sikhuthaza izigidigidi, ngesibindi ezinhliziyweni zethu,
Akekho oshiywe ngemuva, siqale ndawonye.
Ngokusebenzisa uSwifin, sizokwakha umhlaba oyiqiniso,
Ocebile kubo bonke, kimi nakuwe.

[Bridge]
Bona izimpilo esizozithinta, izandla esizobamba,
Umfuyi, ophuphayo, ikusasa eliqinile.
Uthando lomama, ukuziqhenya kukababa,
Umhlaba lapho wonke iphupho lizophumelela khona.

[Chorus]
Siyavuka sonke, umndeni oqinile,
Ithemba elingenamkhawulo, sizokwamukelwa sonke.
Sikhuthaza izigidigidi, ngesibindi ezinhliziyweni zethu,
Akekho oshiywe ngemuva, siqale ndawonye.

[Outro]
USwifin uyisigqi senhliziyo, ukubiza sonke siyavuma,
Ukuvuselelwa komhlaba okukhanyisa indlela.
Kusukela ekushiyweni ukuya ekunikezeni amandla, le ngoma mayiphakame—
Sizoguqula umhlaba, kuze kube phakade.
