Lyrics: |
English Translation: |
| |
|
|
Bawo, kudala si gcel 'inkululeko |
Lord, we ask for peace |
|
Si nje nge Limpopo |
We are like the Limpopo |
| |
|
|
Lizo qala nin 'ithemba lethu? |
When will our hope begin? |
|
Limpopo umfula wetu |
Limpopo, our river |
| |
|
|
Bawo, siphi isithembiso? |
Lord, where is the promise? |
|
Re tshwana le Limpopo |
We are like the Limpopo |
| |
|
|
Zizo fika nini zonke? |
When will they all come? |
|
Limpopo molapo wa rona |
Limpopo, our beloved river |
| |
|
|
Amanzi a ya phezulu ezibhakabhakeni |
Water rises to the sky |
|
Njalo nathi si khishwa e makhayeni |
In the same way we are taken from our homelands |
| |
|
|
Si wela njeng 'imvula e mhlabeni |
Like rain, we fall on strange land |
|
Si hlakazwe e moyen |
We are scattered with the wind |
|
Si hlakazwe e moyen |
We are scattered with the wind |
