[Xhosa] The Gift We Bring

Lyrics

[Intro]

Hmmmm...

Ingaphambi kweentaba sasaziwa,  
Ingaphambi kolwandle luhlabelela,  

Safumana isipho somlilo...  
Ngoku lixesha lokusidlulisela...

[Verse 1]

Abanye badala ngezandla ezithambileyo,  
Abanye baphilisa ngeentliziyo ezinyanisekileyo,  
Abanye bakhanyisa amazwe amnyama,  
Abanye batshisa izinto ezintsha.  

Abanye bafundisa abatsha nabakhanyayo,  
Abanye bathomalalisa amadala nabahlakaniphileyo,  
Abanye babamba ukukhanya kombono,  
Okubaluleke ngaphezu kwegolide ezulwini.  

Ubomi bonke bubutyebi obufihlakeleyo,  
Yonke imiphefumlo yintsika ekhanyayo,  
Iindlela ziyahlukana kodwa uthando luhlala,  
Umangaliswe yinto esikhumbula.  

[Pre-Chorus]

Mhlawumbi sidlula nje,  
Mhlawumbi asikho apha ukuhlala,  

Kodwa ububele bushiya umkhondo,  
Bukhokelela abanye endleleni.  

[Chorus]

🌍 Sonke sithwala isipho ebomini,  
Ukukhanya kwethu sikhanyise.  

Ithemba lokuphakama kwangomso,  
Isizathu sokuba uthando lube.  

Sibambene ngezandla, siyaphakama,  
Yonke intliziyo inengoma yokucula.  

Ikamva liphefumla ngaphakathi kuthi,  
Sizizipho esizizisayo.  

[Verse 2]

Uncumo lunokuthi qale uhambo,  
Ilizwi linokutshintsha ithamsanqa,  
Izifundo zibhala ibali langomso,  
Isandla sinokuphelisa inzondo.  

Isenzo esincinci sobubele,  
Sinokuhamba kude,  
Senza izandi ezingapheliyo,  
Nangona sesihambile.  

Onke amaphupha avuswa,  
Onke uloyiko lukhululwa,  
Kwenzela ihlabathi libe ngcono,  
Lizalisekise ubuntu.  

[Pre-Chorus]

Imbewu esiyityala kwabanye,  
Iyakhula ngaphezu kokubona,  

Kwaye ngenye imini kwangomso,  
Iba kukhanya okunye.  

[Chorus]

🌍 Sonke sithwala isipho ebomini,  
Ukukhanya kwethu sikhanyise.  

Ithemba lokuphakama kwangomso,  
Isizathu sokuba uthando lube.  

Sibambene ngezandla, siyaphakama,  
Yonke intliziyo inengoma yokucula.  

Ikamva liphefumla ngaphakathi kuthi,  
Sizizipho esizizisayo.  

[Bridge]

Phakamisa izwi lakho,  
Sukela amaphupha akho,  
Phakamisa abo bakufuphi,  
Bavumele babone oko ubona.  

Akukho bomi ngaphandle kwentsingiselo,  
Akukho mphefumlo ngaphandle kwexabiso,  

Ubuncwane obukhulu bonke,  
Bubuhle obushiyekileyo emhlabeni.  

[Final Chorus]

🌍 Sonke sithwala isipho ebomini,  
Ukukhanya kwethu sikhanyise.  

Ithemba lokuphakama kwangomso,  
Isizathu sokuba uthando lube.  

Sibambene ngezandla, siyaphakama,  
Yonke intliziyo inengoma yokucula.  

Ikamva liphefumla ngaphakathi kuthi,  
Ikamva liphefumla ngaphakathi kuthi,  
Ikamva liphefumla ngaphakathi kuthi...  
Sizizipho esizizisayo.  

[Outro]

Hmmmm...

Sidlulisela...  
Dlulisa ukukhanya...
