KwaDukuza

Udlame aluhlekisi bo
Hey udlame aluhlekisi bo
Ukudlala ngamatekisi bo
Madoda khuzani naludlame, abantu bayakhala
Hai kumnyama kufela amandl'ami bafuna izi mali zami
Ngifela amandl'ami
Kwadukuza bo!
Yilapho esalishiya lilele khona, lilele khona
Kwadukuza bo!
Yilapho esalishiya lilele khona, lilele khona
Bathi bam'qedile kanti bagetshile
Iwele ilembe
Bathi bam'gqibile kanti bam'thumbile
Iwele ilembe ilembe
Hai olwane udlame hai, khuzani mama
Hau hau ngizohlala ngim'lindile, kukhala[?]
Hai konakelephi? rra! [?] baphela abantu
(Ake nitshele iziqoqo zihlise imimoya kufiwe [?])
Hmmmm Hulumeni khuzani bo nathi sibukela isizwe sishabala bo hai
Senzeni thina bo? (senzeni thina)
Senzeni thina bo?
Kwadukuza bo!
Yilapho esalishiya lilele khona, lilele khona
Kwadukuza bo!
Yilapho esalishiya lilele khona, lilele khona
No no no no no no, no no no no no no
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Lord, oh oh oh oh oh oh Lord
Bahlobo bami zitha zami, vulani izinhliziyo zenu
Bantwana bami bashana bami, nivikele izimpilo zenu
Umuntu uyafa emini lingaka shoni ilanga
Lapho i Owner lishe emini lingaka shoni ilanga
Hai udlame seludlamile bo! isimo sesishintshile bo!
Siyancela webafwethu wee! siyancenga wemadoda wee!
Washonaphi lonembeza wee! asixoxeni webobaba wee!
Isimuncu nalendaba
Kwadukuza bo!
Yilapho esalishiya lilele khona, lilele khona
Kwadukuza bo!
Yilapho esalishiya lilele khona, lilele khona

KwaDukuza

Oh, my love, dance for me, let me see your rhythm
Hey, dance for me like you did before
Playfully, like a child at heart
Men, seize her, for the people are weeping
Oh, my heart is heavy with sadness, they seek my wealth
I am dying for my strength
KwaDukuza, my love!
This is where she left me broken, broken
KwaDukuza, my love!
This is where she left me broken, broken
They said they finished her, but they just got drunk
She still stands, my love
They said they defeated her, but they just weakened her
She stands strong and tall
Oh, the violence is unbearable, hold me, my love
I will always wait for her, no matter how long[?]
Oh, where has it gone? My dear, the people are dying
(Tell me, what prayers can calm the spirits of the dead?)
Oh, Government, help us, we are watching the nation fall, oh
What have we done, my love? (what have we done)
What have we done, my love?
KwaDukuza, my love!
This is where she left me broken, broken
KwaDukuza, my love!
This is where she left me broken, broken
No no no no no no, no no no no no no
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh my God, oh oh oh oh oh oh my God
My friends, my sisters, open your hearts
My dear children, my brothers, protect your lives
Death comes swiftly, in the light of day, no one can escape
When the sun sets, the wicked shall perish
Oh, violence has taken its toll, the times have changed!
We beg you, our brothers, oh! We beg you, our men, oh!
Where has the spirit gone, oh! Let us not despair, my dear!
This news breaks my heart
KwaDukuza, my love!
This is where she left me broken, broken
KwaDukuza, my love!
This is where she left me broken, broken
