Ziyand izindab emoyeni sthandwa sami

Phendula phendula sthandwa sami
Sondela sthandwa sami undichazele

Baningi omathandindaba sthandwa sami
Bathetha betheth indaba nezingekho

Bay'gqibil imizi ngolwimi lwabo
Ngyacela ngyacela sthandwa sami

Noba sebethini ngawe siyofa silahlane
Ndiyathemba ndyathemba sthandwa sami
Siyofa silahlane mina nawe
Ngiyathemba ngyathemba sithandwa sami

Siyofa silahlane mina nawe

Thula ndivile ndiyathemba
Sukhathazeka sthandwa sami
Siyofa silahlane mina nawe
Sthandwa
Ngithembe

My Hope

My love, they speak evil of me in Soweto
They talk of you in Soweto
My love, they speak evil of me
And they gossip about you in Alexandra
Answer me, answer me, my love
What do you do when I'm not around
Answer me, answer me, my love
Come near, my love, and tell me

There are many gossipers, my love
They talk and gossip about things that are not true
There are many gossipers, my love
They destroy homes with their tongues
I beg you, my love
Listen to the news on the street
I trust you, I trust you, my love
Don't let me be lonely without you
My beloved, I trust you
Don't let me be lonely without you
With all my heart and soul
I serve only you in the world
I beg you, my love
Listen to the news on the street
I trust you, I trust you, my love
Don't let me be lonely without you

My-my hope, be quiet, I have heard
The speeches of this world will never end
I wi-will love you, I will trust you
Even if they say bad things about you, we will die together
I trust you, I trust you, my love
We will die together, you and I
I trust you, I trust you, my love
We will die together, you and I

I hope, I hope, my love
You and I, you and I
We will die together

My hope, I trust you, my love
We will die together, you and I
My hope
I hope, my love
I trust you, I trust you
We will die together
Be quiet, I have heard, I trust you
Don't worry, my love
We will die together, you and I
My love
I trust you
