[Southern Ndebele] Elevate

Lyrics

[Intro]  
Oh-oh, oh-oh, yebo, yebo,  
Phakamisa, akukho isikhathi.  
Izwi elikhanyayo, vula umnyango,  
Imali iyakhuluma, sishintsha.

[Verse 1]  
Bona ukukhanya, kukhanya kahle,  
Imicabango emisha, siza phambili.  
Singavela, manje sikhuphuka,  
Phakamisa amaphupho phambi kwamehlo akho.  
Isinyathelo ngesinyathelo, sakha phezulu,  
Thinta izinkanyezi ezisemkhathini.  
I-Afrika ithokozisa, yikhona,  
Sishintsha futhi siphakamisa.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, dance manje, vumela kubonakale,  
Izinyathelo ezinhle, vumela abantu bazi.  
Isandla seSwifin, sithule,  
Uthengiso nokwethembana, sikhuluma emhlabeni.  
Oh-oh, phakamisa umdlalo,  
Ushintsho alufani.  
I-Afrika ikhanya, ungathandabuzi,  
Masishintshe ukuze siphakamise.

[Verse 2]  
Mama ujabule, baba uphakamisa,  
Senza izinyathelo, phakamisa izwi.  
Ibhizinisi likhula, umoya ulungile,  
I-Sweefin ihola usuku nobusuku.  
Uthengiso luhamba njengezikhukhula,  
Ukwamukela umgwaqo esiwakha.  
Phakama sonke, akusoloko sekwedlule,  
Sishintsha futhi siphakamisa.

[Bridge]  
Oh yebo, imali ihamba kahle,  
Kushintsha izimpilo, sakha iphupho.  
Ushintsho luphakamisa izwe,  
I-Afrika ithatha isikhundla.  
Na-na, uzwe i-bassline igijima,  
Umnotho uqinile, silawula.  
Umbono weSwifin siwuhlanganyela,  
Siphula imingcele emnyango.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, dance manje, vumela kubonakale,  
Izinyathelo ezinhle, vumela abantu bazi.  
Isandla seSwifin, sithule,  
Uthengiso nokwethembana, sikhuluma emhlabeni.  
Oh-oh, phakamisa umdlalo,  
Ushintsho alufani.  
I-Afrika ikhanya, ungathandabuzi,  
Masishintshe ukuze siphakamise.

[Outro]  
Oh-oh, i-Afrika ithokozisa,  
Izandla phezulu, bheka sishintsha.  
Ukukhanya kweSwifin, hamba phambili,  
Ushintsho lukhona, lukhona.  
Oh yebo, siphakamisa,  
Akukho isikhathi sokulinda.  
Dance ngenhliziyo, dance ngenhloso,  
Sishintsha futhi siphakamisa.
