[Zulu] Herise

Lyrics

**[Intro — Warm Female Vocals, Gentle Afrobeat Rhythm]**

Oh na-na, phakama uvuke,  
Zizwe uthando, ukukhanya okungcwele.  
Usuku olusha lubiz' izulu,  
Unephupho, uzofulatha.

Oh na-na, zwa umsindo,  
Izinhliziyo eziyizigidi ziyashaya.  
NgeSweefin ekhanyisa indlela,  
Uthatha izinyathelo ziya ekukhanyeni.

**[Verse 1]**

Umama wathi, "Yazi inani lakho,  
Unamandla okuguqula umhlaba."  
Kusuka ezimpandeni ezilula kuya ephusheni elingakhulunywa,  
Unezinhliziyo ezenziwe ngegolide.

Ngezandla ezelaphayo nezakha,  
Amaphupho ayinkulungwane agcwaliseka.  
Uhlanyela imbewu, uyikhulise,  
Futhi ukhanyisa indlela kwabaphansi.

Kusuka emizaneni kuya ezibani zasezindaweni,  
Uphendulela amaphupho abe yizinga eliphezulu.  
Amandla ezizwe, ithemba esilibonayo,  
Uyakha lokho okuzoba kusasa.

**[Pre-Chorus — Building Energy]**

Mvumeleni aphuphe, mvumeleni akhanye,  
Yonke intaba angayikhwela.  
Mnike amaphiko, mvumele andize,  
Buka evula wonke umnyango.

Lapho evuka, nathi siyavuka,  
Akukho mkhawulo kulokho esingakwenza.  
Sibambene ngezandla, sibambene eduze,  
Zizwe amandla ephila!

**[Chorus — Explosive, Joyful Dance Hook]**

Oh-oh-oh, mvumeleni avuke!  
Bona umlilo emehlweni akhe.  
Oh-oh-oh, mvumeleni akhanye!  
Ikusasa lakhe liqala namhlanje ebusuku.

Hey-ya, hey-ya, zwa ubizo lwakhe,  
Lapho evuka, siyavuka sonke!  
Oh-oh-oh, mvumeleni ahole,  
Uyikusasa esikudinga!

Phakama, phakama, mvumeleni avuke,  
Njengokusa ezulwini.  
NgeSweefin, amaphupho angaphila,  
Lapho abesifazane baphumelela, sonke siyaphumelela!

**[Verse 2]**

Utshelwe ukuthi alinde ithuba lakhe,  
Manje unomhlaba okufanele uwuzuze.  
Kusuka eminyango evaliwe kuya ezulwini elivulekile,  
Bona isibindi emehlweni akhe.

Ungumakhi, ungumholi,  
Ngeqiniso lothando ngaphakathi.  
Wonke amabhizinisi, wonke uhlelo,  
Wonke amathuba awadalile.

Angahola, angadala,  
Ashintshe ikusasa, ashintshe isiphetho sakhe.  
Kusuka ezimakethe kuya emhlabeni,  
Mvumeleni amaphupho akhe amakhulu aphumelele.

**[Pre-Chorus — Layered Female Harmonies]**

Mvumeleni aphuphe, mvumeleni akhanye,  
Yonke intaba angayikhwela.  
Mnike amaphiko, mvumele andize,  
Buka evula wonke umnyango.

Lapho evuka, nathi siyavuka,  
Akukho mkhawulo kulokho esingakwenza.  
Sibambene ngezandla, sibambene eduze,  
Zizwe amandla ephila!

**[Chorus — Full Afro-House Energy]**

Oh-oh-oh, mvumeleni avuke!  
Bona umlilo emehlweni akhe.  
Oh-oh-oh, mvumeleni akhanye!  
Ikusasa lakhe liqala namhlanje ebusuku.

Hey-ya, hey-ya, zwa ubizo lwakhe,  
Lapho evuka, siyavuka sonke!  
Oh-oh-oh, mvumeleni ahole,  
Uyikusasa esikudinga!

Phakama, phakama, mvumeleni avuke,  
Njengokusa ezulwini.  
NgeSweefin, amaphupho angaphila,  
Lapho abesifazane baphumelela, sonke siyaphumelela!

**[Bridge — Emotional, Then Rising Celebration]**

Kumama onephupho,  
Kwentombazane engakaboni  
Zonke izimangaliso angaba yizo,  
Wonke umnyango azowuvula ngokukhululeka.

Kwabesifazane ababephambili,  
Abakholwa ukuthi kukhona okwengeziwe,  
Isinyathelo ngasinye, umhlatshelo ngamunye,

[Verse]  
Siza iphupho liphaphame,  
Izwi lakhe malizwakale,  
Amaphupho angavinjwa,  
Kusuka e-Afrika kuya kude.

Vumela amaphupho akhe akhanyise izulu.  
Herise… herise…  
Uma esukuma, siyasukuma sonke.
