Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Thando lwakho lupholis' umoya
Thando lwakho aluthengwa baba
Luyajikela (Zange wadeda, zange wadeda)
Thando lwakho aluthengwa baba
Lunonembez'uthando lwakho
Lunonembez'uthando lwakho
Lunonembez'uthando lwakho
Lunonembez'uthando lwakho
Kuzoqhaw'uNobathana
Lunonembez'uthando lwakho
Kuzoqhaw'uNobathana
Lunonembez'uthando lwakho
Lunonembez'uthando lwakho
[Verse 2]
Usikhonzile isizwe
Zange wadeda phambili
Mini zakho eh
Ubulumko bakho
Buyawudidiyel' umphefumlo wam
Buyawukholis' umoya
Bunonembeza mama (Bunobugcisa)
Bungamanz' andonga
Kwantinga ntaka (Bunobugcisa)
[Verse 3]
Kwenjiwa njalo ke babhem
Laph'uhamba khona
K'khul' okuhle kodwa mbhem
Kwenjiwa njalo
Kwenjiwa njalo ke
Laph'uhamba khona
K'khul' okuhle kodwa mbhem
Kwenjiwa njalo
[Verse 4]
Thando lwakho lupholis' umoya
Thando lwakho aluthengwa baba
Luyajikela (Zange wadeda, zange wadeda)
Thando lwakho aluthengwa baba
Thando lwakho lupholis' umoya
Thando lwakho aluthengwa baba
Bazokubek'amabala, didiyela
Thando lwakho aluthengwa baba
[Verse 5]
Uyikhonzile imn'entsha
Bazokubek'amabala
Qinisela eh
Uba bendinepeni
Ezingamakhulukhulu luyajikela bo
Thando lwakho luyimpilo
Thando lwakho aluthengwa baba (Lolwethu sonke)
Lungamanz' andonga
Kwantinga ntaka bo (Lolwethu sonke)
[Verse 6]
Thando lwakho lupholis' umoya
Thando lwakho aluthengwa baba
Luyajikela (Zange wadeda, zange wadeda)
Thando lwakho aluthengwa baba
Thando lwakho lupholis' umoya
Thando lwakho aluthengwa baba
Luyajikela (Zange wadeda, zange wadeda)
Thando lwakho aluthengwa baba
