Umuthi

Mhm.

EGoli impil' ayikho, alukh' uthando.
Kugcwel' umhobholo, wonk' umunt' usew'Ugombela kwesakhe.
EGoli impil' ayikho, alukh' uthando.
Kugcwel' umhobholo, wonk umunt usew'Ugombela kwesakhe.
Aw' ngizwa kukhal' amaviyo,
Bayang'biz' emakhaya.
Aw' ngizwa kukhal' amaviyo, bayang'biz' emakhaya.

Sengikhumbul' ekhaya,
Nyawo zami ngibelethe,
Kwafel' ubala, sengilel' esifubeni saMama.
Sengikhumbul' ekhaya,
Nyawo zami ngibelethe,

Aw' ngisho kukhal' amaviyo,
Bayang'biz' emakhaya.
Aw' ngizwa kukhal' amaviyo, (yeah eh)
Bayang'biz' emakhaya.

Zonk' insuk' zeCalendar,
Zonk' insuk' zeCalendar.
NgiseMayini ng'yasebenza,
Ekhaya ng'babona December.
Zonk' insuk' zeCalendar, (zonk' insuk' zeCalendar)
Zonk' insuk' zeCalendar. (zonk' insuk' zeCalendar)
NgiseMayini ng'yasebenza,
Ekhaya ng'babona December.
Ooh indizamshini,
Ipheth' umuth' olaphayo.
Ooh indizamshini,
Ipheth umuth' olaphayo.

"Wahelez' umoya, isphepho nephimbo kwaphum ingom' emnandi.
Kwadans' iNingizim' Afrika yonke inqola, indizamshini.
Akukho lapho bengafinyeleli khona, isenzasamuntu.
Ububanzi bomuntu sibufanisa neDayiman' elimnyama.
Int' eswenka k'bande kwamancan' entombini - uyalaz' isoka lamanyala.
Ushun' wak'dala k'phel' uthintwa isandl' esisha.
Ingoma yazalwa kabush' eMnambithi, yamamatheka yonk' i-Africa.
Yath' ingom' emnand' iyaphindwa,
Phind' ubhale futh' cofinga bese ngyabhala.

Medicine

Mhm.

There's no life in EGoli, love seems to lack.
The city's brimming, everyone's praying in their corner.
There's no life in EGoli, love seems to lack.
The city's brimming, everyone's praying in their corner.
Hey, I hear the thunderous cries,
Echoing through the homeland.
Hey, I hear the thunderous cries, echoing through the homeland.

I long for home,
My tired feet carry on.
In the fields of Ubala, I suckled on mother's breast.
I long for home,
My tired feet carry on.
In the fields of Ubala, I suckled on mother's breast.
Hey, I hear the thunderous cries,
Echoing through the homeland.
Hey, I hear the thunderous cries, (yeah eh)
Echoing through the homeland.

Every day on the Calendar,
Every day on the Calendar.
I'm in the mines, working away,
While at home they see December.
Every day on the Calendar, (every day on the Calendar)
Every day on the Calendar. (every day on the Calendar)
I'm in the mines, working away,
While at home they see December.
Ooh, the steam engine,
Bringing relief from suffering.
Ooh, the steam engine,
Bringing relief from suffering.

"Unleash the wind, the storm and the song, and sweet melodies shall arise.
Throughout Southern Africa, all the wagons and steam engines dance.
There's no place they cannot reach, the iron horse.
Man's ambition we liken to the black diamond.
The spirit that soars through the alleys of maidens - casts off the cloak of shame.
An ancient forest of refined grace.
A song is born anew in Mnambithi, with smiles across Africa.
The sweet melody repeats,
Rewrite, reflect and sing along.
