[Zulu] Motherland

Lyrics

[Intro]  
Oh na-na, phakama, Afrika khanya!  
Imali iyahamba, siyavumelana!  
Sweefin phambili, bheka ukukhuphuka,  
Igroove leli zwe, zwa umoya!

[Verse 1]  
Kusuka emzaneni kuya ezibani zasemadolobheni,  
Senza izinyathelo, ikusasa likhanya.  
Uhwebo luyageleza, amasango avuleka,  
Siphula izibopho, akusekho ukuvinjwa.  
Oh, kusuka e-Accra kuya eNairobi kukhanya,  
I-Sweefin ivula indlela yokukhula.  
Bamba isandla sami, masivuke simile,  
Sakha ingcebo ezweni lonke.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, imali iyahamba ngomama,  
Dansa kumculo, abantu mabavuke.  
Siphula izindonga zokuhlukumezeka,  
Ukuvuselela kuhlanganyela bonke.  
Oh-oh, phakama udanse, kusezandleni zakho,  
Izwi le-Afrika, zwa ibhendi.  
I-Sweefin vibes, ethemba kule busuku,  
Imali iyahamba, ikusasa likhanya.

[Verse 2]  
Akekho oshiywe, akukho indlovukazi esalele,  
Umhlaba uzobona, siyachaza kabusha.  
Ukusakazeka kwezimali, amasango avuleka,  
Ubumpofu buphelile, sakha kabusha.  
Oh mama, mamatheka, ingane yakho izokhula,  
I-Sweefin izithombo, isivuno sizoveza.  
Imali iyahamba, oh isibhakabhaka sicacile,  
Ingoma yempumelelo yonke indawo!

[Bridge]  
Zwa umculo, oh mawuhambe,  
Kusuka eKapa kuya eNayile.  
Imali iyahamba emigwaqweni yonke,  
Bheka umoya uphakamisa izinyawo zakho.  
Izizwe ziyavuka, iphupho liyaphila,  
Amandla eSwifin azosinda.  
Uhwebo nokuthembeka ezweni lonke,  
Sihlangene siqinile, siyakhula.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, imali iyahamba ngomama,  
Dansa kumculo, abantu mabavuke.  
Siphula izindonga zokuhlukumezeka,  
Ukuvuselela kuhlanganyela bonke.  
Oh-oh, phakama udanse, kusezandleni zakho,  
Izwi le-Afrika, zwa ibhendi.  
I-Sweefin vibes, ethemba kule busuku,  
Imali iyahamba, ikusasa likhanya.

[Outro]  
Oh yebo, ake imali igijime,  
Ezandleni zonke, uthando lukhanye.  
Afrika iyavuka, oh kukhulu,  
Sihamba sonke, sibambene.  
Na-na, na-na, dansa kule busuku,  
Imali iyakhanya.  
Igroove leli zwe, indlela yeSwifin,  
Ikusasa likhanya kusukela namuhla!
