Umenzani

Simbonile ekhala
Angaz' ukuthi umenzani
Wam'hlukumeza umenzani
Simbonile ekhala
Angaz' ukuthi umenzani
Wam'hlukumeza umenzani

Mvelingqangi, waleth' ingane
Laph' emhlabeni, kuthi ikhulise isizwe
Kodwa wena wenzani
Uyithathela ubusha ingane
Tshele senzeni, ibalekele kuphi ingane

Oh, umenzani wam'hlukumeza umenzani
Ay, umenzani, Wam'hlukumeza umenzani

Bab' umonganeli
Onake isizwe sakho
Vikela abantu bakho
Ngoba siyashabalala
Nawe makhelwane
Ingane yami eyakho
Sikhuliseni isizwe, sibambaneni

Ngoba simbonile ekhala
Angazi ukuthi umenzani
Wam'hlukumeza umenzani

Umtanomuntu Umenzani Wam'hlukumeza
Umenzani wam'hlukumeza umenzani

What have you done

I saw her crying
I don't know what you did
You hurt her, what did you do?
I saw her crying
I don't know what you did
You hurt her, what did you do?

The Creator, brought this child
To the world, to raise a nation
But what have you done?
You steal her youth
Tell me what we did, where did she flee?

Oh, what did you do, you hurt her, what did you do?
Oh, what did you do, you hurt her, what did you do?

You are a betrayer
Who cares about your nation
Protect your people
Because we are dying
And you, neighbour
My child is also yours
Let's raise a nation, let's stand together

Because I saw her crying
I don't know what you did
You hurt her, what did you do?

You are a monster, what did you do, you hurt her?
What did you do, you hurt her, what did you do?
