[Swazi] Upbeyond

Lyrics

**[Intro — Distant Choir, African Drums, Rising Synth]**

Eh-oh, eh-oh!  
Lalela tinyawo letako!

Kusuka esitaladini kuze kufike kude,  
Lalela umculo ushaya emnyango.

Oh-ya, oh-ya!  
Uyabaphulaphula labantu bacula?

Phezulu, phezulu, phambili!  
Gcina lokuhle kucina phambili!

**[Verse 1 — Percussive Afrobeat Groove]**

Kusihlwa kwebani kukhanyisa umgwaqo,  
Kusasa tinyawo letinkhulungwane.  
Labo labangakaze bakhulume  
Sebatfolakala emagameni ahola indlela.

Lapho bekunetindonga, senza iminyango,  
Lapho bekunetinsolo, siphendvuka sicela eminye.  
Ngalesandla seSweefin sibophelene,  
Kuyakhula, kuyashintja, kuyakhula.

Kute liphupho lelikhulu kakhulu lengakhipha shintjo,  
Kute kuphila lokukude kakhulu lengakhipha umphendvuko.  
Asidzingi kulinda kuze kufike lilanga,  
Singakhulisa ngisho kusekuseni.

**[Pre-Chorus — Handclaps and Rising Harmonies]**

Uyakuva? (Kuva!)  
Uyakuva? (Kuzwa!)

Kukhona lokuhle lokuhambako,  
Kukhona indzawo yetfu sobabili.

Thatha lithuba, phakela sandla,  
Vumela umphuphi lomunye amile.  
Nawucula umhlaba wonkhe,  
Ngisho nemitfunti iyavakala!

**[Chorus — Explosive Global Dance Hook]**

Phezulu, phezulu, phambili!  
Gcina lokuhle kucina phambili!

Shukuma umzimba, cula lelingoma,  
Wonke umuntfu akasondzele!

Phezulu, phezulu, phambili!  
Vumela tindonga letindala tehle!

Hey-oh, hey-oh, asihambe,  
Buka letinkhulungwane temathuba tikula!

Upbeyond! Upbeyond!  
Vumela umculo uqhubeke!

Sinye sandla, linye lithuba,  
Nika umhlaba wonkhe umdanso!

**[Post-Chorus — Festival Crowd Chant]**

Oh-ya-ya! Oh-ya-ya!  
Wonke umuntfu, tshelani!
