Ibambeni njala bakithi Hold on tight, my people Ninga dinwa Don't get weary Ninga phelelwa nga mandla Don't lose your strength
Siya ba bona We can see Bebe fun' ukusi qeda They wanted to hold us back
One by One Ngeke ba lunge They will not succeed One by One Sizo nqoba We will win
One by One Ngeke ba lunge They will not succeed One by One
Ibambeni njala bakithi Hold on tight, my people Ninga dinwa Don't get weary Ninga phelelwa nga mandla Don't lose your strength
Siya ba bona We can see Bebe fun' ukusi qeda They wanted to hold us back
One by One Ngeke ba lunge They will not succeed One by One Sizo nqoba We will win Repeated
Ngoba thina Because Siya zazi We know who we are Repeated
Ibala lami The color of my skin Elimnyama That is dark Ndiya zidla I'm proud Ngalo Of it Ibala lami The color of my skin Elimnyama That is dark Ndiza kufa I will die Nalo With it Repeated
Kumnandi Oh yes Kwelakakith Eafrica It's beautiful in Africa
