Paroles et traduction ZAHARA - Thekwana

Thekwana

Umunt' ongaziyo la esuka khona
Ufana nomuntu ongazi la ayakhona
Amaqhawe akwantu
Siyaziqhenya ngawo

Intak' ezulu iyandilandela
Intak' ezulu iyandilandela
Uthekwana intaka yezulu
Yandilandela
Uyandilandela

Ndibheke ngapha nangapha
Usemvakwami
Umama Maxeka, uHelen Joseph
Bayandilandela, bayandilandela
Bayandilandela, uyandilandela

Ndival' iindlebe zami uyandisebenzela
UTata Mandela uyandisebenzela
Ndival' iindlebe zami uyandisebenzela
Ubab' uLuthuli uyandisebenzela

(Thekwane, Thekwane, Thekwane inyoni yezulu)

Ilizwe lonke ndilijikile
Ndifuna ndifun' impendulo
Ndajonga phezulu, ubani lona
O, nguye uThekwane

Thekwana

We don't know where we come from
We are like people who don't know where they are going
The heroes of mankind
We are proud of them

The bird in the sky is following me
The bird in the sky is following me
Thekwana, the bird of the sky
Is following me
It is following me

I look around
They are behind me
Mama Maxeka, Helen Joseph
They are following me, they are following me
They are following me, it is following me

I open my ears, it is working for me
Father Mandela is working for me
I open my ears, it is working for me
Father Luthuli is working for me

(Thekwane, Thekwane, Thekwane, bird of the sky)

I have travelled all over the country
I want to seek an answer
I looked up, who is this
Oh, it is Thekwane
