Performed by Lebo M.
Approx. running time: 3mins 10secs
Ibambeni njalo 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 njalo 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)
Babe 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)
[repeat]
Ngoba thina
(Because)
Siya zazi
(We know who we are)
[repeat]
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)
[repeat to fade]
