Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Toe die wêreld hier nog jong was en die horison wyd en oop
Was dit groen hier in die halfrond, suid van die ewenaar
En in die skemer as die son sak en die beeste huis toe loop
Klink die roepstem van die vroue oor die heuwels van die land
Halala, halala, ewig is ons Afrika
Halala, halala, ewig is ons Afrika
[Verse 2]
(Thula thula mntanami, thula thula sanalwami)
(Thula thula mntanami ubab'uzobuya sihlale naye, ubab'uzobuya sihlale sonke, hm-hm)
[Verse 3]
Toe kom die skepe uit die weste, wit seile oor die see
Om te vra vir kos en water en te bly vir soveel meer
En die land wat een tyd oop was, die land het ons verruil
Vir die ghetto's van die stede is ons koperdraad gegee
Halala, halala ewig is ons Afrika (Halala, halala, sasiphila kamnandi)
Halala, halala ewig is ons Afrika (Halala, halala, mayibuye iAfrika)
[Verse 4]
(Thula thula mntanami, thula thula sanalwami)
(Thula thula mntanami ubab'uzobuya sihlale naye, ubab'uzobuya sihlale sonke, hm-hm)
[Verse 5]
Daar was rykdom in die maag van ons moeder Afrika
Diamante en ook steenkool, goud, edel metaal
En die mense word die slawe hier want die mense word betaal
Om te tonnel in die aarde elke greintjie uit te haal
[Verse 6]
En die groot en oop grasvlaktes span dit toe met doringdraad
En van die olifant tot die gemsbok, al die diere moes kom buig
Voor die mag van die grootwildjagter, voor die mag van sy groot geweer
Totdat net die stilte oorbly, totdat net die stilte heers
[Verse 7]
Halala, halala ewig is ons Afrika (Halala, halala, sasiphila kamnandi)
Halala, halala ewig is ons Afrika (Halala, halala, mayibuye iAfrika)
Halala, halala ewig is ons Afrika (Halala, halala, sasiphila kamnandi)
Halala, halala ewig is ons Afrika (Halala, halala, mayibuye iAfrika)
[Verse 8]
Halala, halala ewig is ons Afrika (Halala, halala, sasiphila kamnandi)
Halala, halala mayibuye iAfrika
Halala, halala ewig is ons Afrika (Halala, halala, sasiphila kamnandi)
Halala, halala ewig is ons Afrika (Halala, halala, mayibuye iAfrika)
[Verse 9]
Halala, halala ewig is ons Afrika (Halala, halala, sasiphila kamnandi)
Halala, halala mayibuye iAfrika
Halala (Halala, halala, sasiphila kamnandi)
(Halala, halala, mayibuye iAfrika)
(Halala, halala, sasiphila kamnandi)
Halala, halala, mayibuye iAfrika hm-hm)
