Kazi senzeni na
Thixo Somandla
Asisabuzi
Senzen' ebusweni benkosi
Senzeni na kutheni kunjena
Senzen' ebusweni benkosi
Senzen' ebusweni benkosi
Emhlabeni
Sibuthwel' ubunzima
Sibuthwel' ubunzima
Bawo Thixo Somandla
Emhlabeni
Sibuthwele, sibuthwel' ubunzima
Thixo Somandla uyazi nawe
Bawo Somandla

Zonk' intsuku zobomi zethu buninzi
Thina siyakudumisa
Ngazo intsuku zethu
Sohlala sikukhunga bawo
Emhlabeni ngameva neenzinga
Sohlala sikukhunga baba

Nantsi ingoma
Zonk' intsuku zobomi zethu buninzi
Thina siyakudumisa
Ngazo intsuku zethu
Sohlala sikukhunga bawo
Emhlabeni ngameva neenzinga
Sohlala sikukhunga baba

Nzima

What have we done to you,
God Almighty;
We ask not;
What have we done in the face of our Lord?
What have we done, and why is it thus?
What have we done in the face of our Lord?
What have we done in the face of our Lord?
On earth,
We carry the burden;
We carry the burden;
Father God Almighty;
On earth,
We carry, we carry the burden;
God Almighty, you know too;
Father Almighty,
You know.
All the days of our abundant life;
We praise you;
With those days of ours,
We keep praying to you, father;
On earth with thorns and pitfalls;
We keep praying to you, father;
On earth,
We carry the burden;
We carry the burden;
Father God Almighty;
We ask not, father;
You know what we've done, what we've done;
God Almighty;
Only you know;
Here is the burden;
Here is the song;
All the days of our abundant life;
We praise you;
With those days of ours,
We keep praying to you, father;
On earth with thorns and pitfalls;
We keep praying to you, father.
