Lyrics

[Intro]
Here's the story told to the children of Africa
It's called Iwungilama
[Verse 1]
We MaDlamini, Uph' umqombothi
We MaDlamini, Uph' umqombothi
We MaDlamini, Uph' umqombothi
We MaDlamini, Uph' umqombothi
[Verse 2]
I work hard everyday
To make my beer (Umqombothi)
Wake up early every morning
To please my people with African beer
(Umqombothi, umqombothi)
I'll make sure the fire burns to make my beer (Umqombothi)
My special beer, umqombothi
(Umqombothi) Is African beer
[Verse 3]
We MaDlamini (Everybody)
Uph' umqombothi (Come and drink my)
We MaDlamini (Magic beer)
Uph' umqombothi
We MaDlamini (Everybody)
Uph' umqombothi (Come and drink my)
We MaDlamini (African beer)
Uph' umqombothi
[Verse 4]
I work hard to make them happy
Every weekend (Umqombothi)
Makes them party to the rhythm
Makes them dance
This magic beer (Umqobothi)
I wanna make them happy (Umqobothi)
I wanna make them smile (Umqombothi)
I wanna make them dance, dance (Umqombothi)
[Verse 5]
I make sure there's a party
When they drink my special beer (Umqombothi)
Umqombothi is magic beer
(Umqombothi) Is African beer
[Verse 6]
We MaDlamini (Everybody)
Uph' umqombothi (Come and drink my)
We MaDlamini (Magic beer)
Uph' umqombothi
We MaDlamini (Everybody)
Uph' umqombothi (Come and drink my)
We MaDlamini (African beer)
Uph' umqombothi
[Verse 7]
We MaDlamini (Everybody)
Uph' umqombothi (Come and drink my)
We MaDlamini (Magic beer)
Uph' umqombothi
We MaDlamini (Everybody)
Uph' umqombothi (Come and drink my)
We MaDlamini (African beer)
Uph' umqombothi
[Verse 8]
We MaDlamini, Uph' umqombothi
We MaDlamini, Uph' umqombothi
We MaDlamini, Uph' umqombothi
We MaDlamini, Uph' umqombothi
[Verse 9]
Wozani, Kwa MaDlamini
Wozani, ngithi wozani
Wozani, wozani kwa MaDlamini
Come on, I wanna make you happy
I wanna make you smile
Let's be together
Umqombothi, umqombothi
[Verse 10]
We MaDlamini (Everybody)
Uph' umqombothi (Come and drink my)
