[Southern Ndebele] Flow

Lyrics

[Intro]  
Oh na-na, phakama, Afrika khanya!  
Imali ihamba, sisonke!  
Sweefin uhola, bheka ukukhuphuka,  
Umhlaba wakithi uyashukuma, uzwe umoya!

[Verse 1]  
Kusuka emaphandleni kuya edolobheni,  
Siyahamba, ikusasa likhanya.  
Uhwebo luyahamba, amasango avuleka,  
Siphula izibopho, akukho ukuvalwa.  
Oh, kusuka eAccra kuya eNairobi ukhanya,  
Sweefin uvula indlela yokukhula.  
Bamba isandla sami, masivuke sima,  
Sakha inotho kuwo wonke umhlaba.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, imali ihamba kumhlaba wethu,  
Dansa ngokushaya, abantu mabavuke.  
Siphula udonga lokuhlukaniswa,  
Ukwenza amandla kuyaphakanyiswa.  
Oh-oh, vuka udanse, kusezandleni zakho,  
Izwi laseAfrika, izwi leband.  
Imisindo yeSweefin ilethe ithemba ebusuku,  
Imali ihamba, ikusasa likhanya.

[Verse 2]  
Akekho oshiywe ngemuva, akekho undlovukazi oshiywe,  
Umhlaba uzobona, siyachaza kabusha.  
Ukuhamba kwezimali, amasango avuleka,  
Ubumpofu buhambe, siyadala kabusha.  
Oh mama, mamatheka, ingane yakho izokhula,  
Imbewu yeSweefin, masivune sibone.  
Imali ihamba, oh isibhakabhaka sicacile,  
Ihubo elinothile kulo lonke indawo!

[Bridge]  
Zwa umculo, oh mawuhambe,  
Kusuka eKapa kuya kuNayile.  
Imali ihamba kuwo wonke umgwaqo,  
Bheka umculo uphakamisa izinyawo zakho.  
Izizwe ziyavuka, iphupho liyaphila,  
Amandla eSweefin azohlala.  
Uhwebo nothando kuwo wonke umhlaba,  
Sisonke siqinile, siyakhula.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, imali ihamba kumhlaba wethu,  
Dansa ngokushaya, abantu mabavuke.  
Siphula udonga lokuhlukaniswa,  
Ukwenza amandla kuyaphakanyiswa.  
Oh-oh, vuka udanse, kusezandleni zakho,  
Izwi laseAfrika, izwi leband.  
Imisindo yeSweefin ilethe ithemba ebusuku,  
Imali ihamba, ikusasa likhanya.

[Outro]  
Oh yebo, masivumele imali ihambe,  
Ngokwesandla ngasinye, masibonise uthando.  
Afrika ivuka, oh ibukeka kangaka,  
Sihamba ndawonye, sibambene ngezandla.  
Na-na, na-na, dansa ebusuku,  
Imali ihamba ikhanya.  
Umhlaba wakithi uyashukuma, indlela yeSweefin,  
Kusasa likhanya kusuka namhlanje!
