Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was a Sunday morning
When I looked at those beautiful nunrays shining on our land in the morning
I was standing by the kraal
When I saw those beautiful cattle approaching from the horizon
This is the promised land that our ancestors fought for tooth and nail
Cause it is hereditary (Wololo)
[Verse 2]
When they were invaded
When they were invaded
When they were invaded
When they were invaded
When they were invaded by the British on our land
I remember those children running to the mountain
In the morning of our initiation of our individuality
[Chorus]
Thina siyi Nkatha
Siyi Azayo
Siyi PAC
Siyi Azayo
SIyi ANC
Masihlangane ndawonye
Siyi Azayo
Siyi Nkatha (Siyi Nkatha)
Siyi PAC (Siyi PAC)
Siyi ANC
Masihlangane ndawonye
Siyi Azayo
[Verse 3]
Cross over the valley
Cross over the hillside
Cross over the mountains
Then I saw that rising beauty of our community
Izizwe zingiziba ngomnt' amnyama mina
Zithi ngimnyama mina
Akunani ngifuzu ubaba
Izizwe zingiziba ngomnt' amnyama mina
Zithi ngimnyama mina
Akunani ngifuzu ubaba
[Verse 4]
We were brought up to live courageously
We were brought up to live together
Nenzani madoda uma nixabana nodwa
[Chorus]
Nesaba abelungu,Thina siyi Nkatha
Siyi Azayo
Siyi PAC
SIyi ANC
Masihlangane ndawonye
Thina siyi Nkatha
Siyi Azayo
Siyi PAC
SIyi ANC
Masihlangane ndawonye
Siyi Azayo
[Verse 5]
Izizwe zonke ziyasihleka
Zithi awubhek'ilwane eSouth Africa
Ubuvaka benu sebenze nishayane nodwa
Ngoba nesaba abelungu
[Chorus]
Thina siyi Nkatha, Siyi Azayo
Siyi PAC, Siyi Azayo
SIyi ANC
Masihlangane ndawonye
[Bridge]
Di Wololo
Di Wololo
Di Wololo
Di Wololo
Azife zonke impondo zabathakathi Kodwa nibesabani abelungu
Di Wololo
[Verse 6]
Nje ngobaba nilwa nodwa kanjena nje
He II Azife zonke impondo zabathakathi
Nje ngobaba nilwa nodwa kanjena nje
[Verse 7]
Change, change change, change
Change, change change, change
Change, change change, change
Change, change change, change
Changing times must never disturb our right thinking minds
Hostels used to be a place to meet
Hostels used to be a place to dance
Every Sunday was a feast Sohlangan'edube Iyo ngoba
[Chorus]
Thina siyi Nkatha
Siyi Azayo
Siyi PAC
Siyi Azayo
SIyi ANC
Masihlangane ndawonye
Di wololo
Di wololo
Azife zonke impondo zabathakathi Kodwa nibesabani abelungu
Di Wololo
Di wololo
Azife zonke impondo zabathakathi Kodwa nibesabani abelungu
Wololo
Wololo
Azife zonke impondo zabathakathi
