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

Ibala lami (::The color of my skin::)
Elimnyama (::That is dark::)
