Buyel' Ekhaya

Thumel' imali
Thumel' imali, tata
Thumeli' imali
Thumeli' imali ekhaya

Bek'noba njani na ngaphandle komama?
Kalok'utata uye wasishiya nomama
Uth' uzobuya, usayophangel' imali
Kuna namhlanje akakabuyel' ekhaya

Akazang' abuye namali
Akazang' abuyel' ekhaya
Akazang' abuye namali
Tata, buyel' ekhaya

Syambulel' umama ngokusikhulisa kwakhe
Kungekho mali, umama ebexolel' u'ngatyi
Singaka nje thina ngumama yedwa
Kodwa namhlanje ndithi siyabulela mama

Ngob' utata akazang' abuye namali
Akazang' abuyel' ekhaya
Akazanga buye namali
Tata, buyel' ekhaya

Kulungile, siphila kanjalo
Kulungile, ubomi buhamba kanjalo
Tata, buyel' ekhaya

Oko wemkayo akazang' abuye namali
Akazang' abuyel ekhaya
Akazang' abuye namali
Tata, buyel' ekhaya

Oko wemkaya akazang' abuye namali
Sikhule singaka, akazang' abuyel' ekhaya
Sasimlindile, akazang' anuye namalu

Ooh! Buyel' ekhaya x3
Tata, buyel' ekhaya

Buyel' Ekhaya

Send me money
Send me money, dad
You sent money
You sent money home

How will I survive without a mother?
My father left my mother behind
You said you'd come back, and earn money
Today, you still haven't come home

()

You never brought any money
You never came home
You never brought any money
Father, come home

Respect your mother for raising us
Even without money, your mother forgave you
We grew up just with our mother
But today I say we thank you, mother

Because father never brought any money
Never came home
He never brought any money
Father, come home

()

Never brought any money
Never came home
Never brought any money
Father, come home

It's fine, carry on like that
It's fine, we're surviving like that
It's fine, life is going that way
Father, come home

You who left, never brought any money
Never came home
Never brought any money
Father, come home

You who are rich, never sent any money
We grew up, you never came home
We waited for you, you never sent any money
Father, come home

Ooh! Come home x3
Father, come home

(Repeat)
