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 |
