[Xhosa] The Beat of Change

Lyrics

[Intro]  
Oh na-na, sibona sikhula,  
Amaphupha avuleka phambi kwethu.  
Swifin idibanisa, indala nentsha,  
Idatha iguquka ibe yimali, amabali atshoniswa.  
Mama uthengisa ngentembeko,  
Ubawo uphupha ephakamile.  
Izindlela zedijithali ezandleni zethu,  
Akusekho mda kumhlaba wethu.  
Ukusuka kwifowuni ukuya kwinqanaba lehlabathi,  
Imali igxuma iphepha ngalinye.  
Ukukhanya kweSwifin kususa imida,  
Ukuqinisekisa iintliziyo, sibambe siphumelele.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, ukusuka kwidatha ukuya kwimali siyakhwela,  
Sidanisa ngethemba, ikamva liyadibana.  
Swifin isiphakamisa imini nobusuku,  
Ukufakwa kwabo bonke kuyabavusa.  
Oh-oh, isandi lotshintsho, licacile,  
Imali iyehla, susa uloyiko.  
Akukho mntu ushiywe, bonke bangaphakama,  
Idatha ibe yimali, izulu livulekile.  
Cofa isikrini, ubukrelekrele bukhula,  
Iindonga zantlandlolo, siyazikhupha.  
Sihlanganisa izizwe, sizidibanisa iintliziyo,  
Ukutyhala kwedijithali, apho inkululeko iqala khona.  
Abafazi bayaphakama, bekhokela ngokukhanya,  
Umoya wabantu abatsha ubanga ilungelo labo.  
Indlela yeSwifin ikhuselekile kwaye yomelele,  
Iguqula idatha ibe yingoma.

[Bridge]  
Oh ewe, mvumela umoya uhambise,  
Sidanisa ngethemba, iphupha silifakazele.  
Iimali ezimashumi amane, sibambene,  
Ukusuka kwimbewu yendawo ukuya kwindawo yehlabathi.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, ukusuka kwidatha ukuya kwimali siyakhwela,  
Sidanisa ngethemba, ikamva liyadibana.  
Swifin isiphakamisa imini nobusuku,  
Ukufakwa kwabo bonke kuyabavusa.  
Oh-oh, isandi lotshintsho, licacile,  
Imali iyehla, susa uloyiko.  
Akukho mntu ushiywe, bonke bangaphakama,  
Idatha ibe yimali, izulu livulekile.

[Outro]  
Oh na-na, masibhiyoze,  
Iindonga ziwile, asikabi lixesha.  
Swifin iyakhanya, amehlo ethu kwiingomso,  
Ukusuka kwidatha ukuya kwimali, silahla usizi.  
Phakamisa izandla zakho, sidanisa sikhululekile,  
Ihlabathi eliqaqambileyo kuwe nam.
