Uhlanya

Uhlanya maluzule zigangeni
Uhlanya maluzule zigangeni
Uhlanya maluzule zigangeni
Uhlanya maluzule zigangeni

Ngibonge machunwini
Ngibonga kongema
Kosthuli sikandaba
Ngisho kuwe celembo zishayi hukana
Gedle gedl' uyasika kungamasikela
Ndabe zitha weno wehla ngesilulu
Abanye begingqwa hola ndabezitha

Ngibonga balele
Bona bangibhekile
Ngoba laphe mhlabeni
Kusinda kwehlela
Ngoba yibo isiBani empilweni yethu
Kodwa lena eyabo omagijima njengeposi

Uhlanya maluzule zigangeni
Uhlanya maluzule zigangeni
Uhlanya maluzule zigangeni
Uhlanya maluzule zigangeni

Isabelo somuntu esomuntu nje
Into yakho ngeyakho
Into yami ngeyami
Ek'ngasiyo eyakho
Iyekele muva
Ngoba lena eyabo
Ongqondo mbili yeyeha
Mbili yeehe

Uhlanya maluzule zigangeni
Uhlanya maluzule zigangeni
Uhlanya maluzule zigangeni
Uhlanya maluzule zigangeni
Uhlanya maluzule zigangeni
Uhlanya maluzule zigangeni
Uhlanya maluzule zigangeni
Uhlanya maluzule zigangeni

Ngibonge ma chunwini
Ngibonga ko njomane
Ngibongs ko mdletshe
Malume uyisikhokho
Ngisho kubo magijima njengeposi
Bonyanga sofelani
Wamalelanu khulu
Ngobe nendabe nkulu
Ndabe zitha

Careless

Careless one, you are surrounded by strangers
Careless one, you are surrounded by strangers
Careless one, you are surrounded by strangers
Careless one, you are surrounded by strangers

I thank the ancestors
I thank the chiefs
For the shield that protects me
I tell them that your spear has no power over me
Your words cut like a knife, but they are like water off a duck's back
You have many enemies and you are falling from grace
Some are fleeing, while I remain your enemy

I thank the elders
They watch over me
Because in this world
Survival is a struggle
Because they are the light in our lives
But those ones that run like a bullet train

Careless one, you are surrounded by strangers
Careless one, you are surrounded by strangers
Careless one, you are surrounded by strangers
Careless one, you are surrounded by strangers

Your destiny is like everyone else's
Your things are yours
My things are mine
If something is not yours
Leave it alone
Because those things are theirs
A double-minded person is a pain
Painful indeed

...

Careless one, you are surrounded by strangers
Careless one, you are surrounded by strangers
Careless one, you are surrounded by strangers
Careless one, you are surrounded by strangers
Careless one, you are surrounded by strangers
Careless one, you are surrounded by strangers
Careless one, you are surrounded by strangers
Careless one, you are surrounded by strangers

I thank my ancestors
I thank the stars
I thank the moon
My uncle is my elder
I tell those who run like a bullet train
Beware, my friend
You have grown too careless
Because you have a great enemy
You have enemies
