Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
[Here is a lion and a tiger]

Night
And the spirit of life
Calling


Oh, oh, iyo
Mamela



[Listen]

Oh, oh, iyo

And a voice
With the fear of a child
Answers


Oh, oh, iyo
Oh, mamela


[Listen]

Oh, oh, iyo

Ubukhosi bo khokho

[Throne of the ancestors]
We ndodana ye sizwe sonke
[Oh, son of the nation)]

Wait
There's no mountain too great

Oh, oh, iyo
Hear the words and have faith

Oh, oh, iyo
Have faith

Hela hey mamela


[Hey, listen]
 [bad word] 
He lives in you
He lives in me
He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the [bad word] In your reflection
He lives in you

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
[Here is a lion and a tiger]
(repeat)

(repeat third verse)
