Lyrics

[Intro]  
Oh na-na, vhukoni, Afurika penya!  
Mali i khou tshimbila, ri khou tshimbidzana!  
Sweefin i khou rangela, sedza u kona!  
Vhugala ha shango, u fhulufhedza!

[Verse 1]  
U bva mudini u swika mudini,  
Ri khou tshimbila, vhumatshelo vhu penya.  
Mabindu a khou tshimbila, minzhi i khou vulwa,  
Ri khou thuba dzingowa, ha tshee na vhuleme.  
Oh, u bva Accra u swika Nairobi,  
Sweefin i khou ita ndila dza u alusa.  
Nndila yanga, ri takale na u ima,  
Ri khou fhaṱa lupfumo shangoni.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, mali i khou tshimbila kha shango,  
Danza na mulodi, vhathu vha ime.  
U bva kha u pandela, ri khou thuba muroḓo,  
U khwaṱhisa vhathu vhoṱhe.  
Oh-oh, takalani na danza, zwi zwanḓani zwanu,  
Ipfi la Afurika, pfa zwigwada.  
Sweefin vibes, zwi khou ḓisela fulufhelo,  
Mali i khou tshimbila, vhumatshelo vhu penya.

[Verse 2]  
Ha si na munna o sala, ha si na musadzi o sala,  
Lifhasi ḽi ḓo vhona, ri khou shandukisa.  
Mali i khou tshimbila, minzhi i khou vulwa,  
Vhuṱungu vhu tshi ṱuwa, ri khou fhaṱa nṱha.  
Oh mme anga, mbofholoni, ṅwana u ḓo aluwa,  
Sweefin mbeu, vhukololo vhu dzumbulula.  
Mali i khou tshimbila, denga ḽi khou penya,  
Luimbo lwa vhushaka lu khou pfala!

[Bridge]  
Pfa mulodi, oh ri tshimbile,  
U bva Cape Town u swika Nile.  
Mali i khou tshimbila, mitini yoṱhe,  
Sedza mulodi u tshi takadza milenzhe.  
Dzitshaka dzi khou takala, lufuno lwo tshila,  
Sweefin vhuhosi vhu ḓo tshila.  
Dzhama na fulufhelo kha shango ḽiṅwe na ḽiṅwe,  
Roṱhe ri khou kona, ri khou alusa.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, mali i khou tshimbila kha shango,  
Danza na mulodi, vhathu vha ime.  
U bva kha u pandela, ri khou thuba muroḓo,  
U khwaṱhisa vhathu vhoṱhe.  
Oh-oh, takalani na danza, zwi zwanḓani zwanu,  
Ipfi la Afurika, pfa zwigwada.  
Sweefin vibes, zwi khou ḓisela fulufhelo,  
Mali i khou tshimbila, vhumatshelo vhu penya.

[Outro]  
Oh ee, itshimbila mali,  
Kha zwanḓani zwoṱhe, u funa u vhonala.  
Afurika i khou takala, oh nga vhuhulu,  
Roṱhe ri khou tshimbila, zwanḓani.  
Na-na, na-na, danza vhusiku,  
Mali i khou penya nga vhuhulu.  
Vhugala ha shango, Sweefin ndila,  
Vhumatshelo vhu penya u bva zwino!
