Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
[Verse 2]
Ngay'eBhayi, uy'eGoli
Sibuthwel' ubunzima
Naphi-naphi uzothola
Sibuthwel' ubunzima
[Verse 3]
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
(Sibuthwel' ubunzima)
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
(Sibuthwel' ubunzima)
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
(Sibuthwel' ubunzima)
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
[Verse 4]
Kepha ke
Ndone ndilindile
Uyasinda lomthwalo
Ndizowubona lomthwalo
Ubizwe ngegama lam
Ndiyambon' ujonge lena
Uhamba ngay' ibhola yoh
[Verse 5]
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
[Verse 6]
Ngay'eBhayi, uy'eGoli
Sibuthwel' ubunzima
Naphi-naphi uzothola
Sibuthwel' ubunzima
[Verse 7]
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
(Sibuthwel' ubunzima)
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
(Sibuthwel' ubunzima)
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
(Sibuthwel' ubunzima)
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
[Verse 8]
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
[Verse 9]
Ndabiza bonke, ndalinda le
Ndacela umbono
Bathi uyewayithatha
Wayibek' emagxheni
Kusa njalo khung' iqhiya
Ethubeni uzobona
Uzobona
[Verse 10]
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima

Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
[Verse 11]
Ngay'eBhayi, uy'eGoli
Sibuthwel' ubunzima
Naphi-naphi uzothola
Sibuthwel' ubunzima
[Verse 12]
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
(Sibuthwel' ubunzima)
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
(Sibuthwel' ubunzima)
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
Thwel' ubunzima, sithwel' ubunzima
