24

Ndikhulile ihambile iminyaka
Ndibonile ndizihambile indawo
Mandibulele uthixo esandigcine kulomhlaba
Mandizamkele into ezenzeka ebomini bam

Kulonyaka I'm turning 24 (ndibongi nkosi ndisase khona)
Kulonyaka I'm turning 24 (uu ye ye)
Kulonyaka I'm turning 24 (ndibongi nkosi ndisase khona)
Kulonyaka I'm turning 24 (uu ye ye)
Benge kulanga
Koko ndikhula ndipusha ndiphanda
Bekungemnandanga
Unozala ebengekho ebe phanda
Makhulu esigada
Sobabini nomninawa wam
Ndisazikhumbula ezontsuku ndiyintwana
Siye nkomeni nomalume bam
Ngolwesihlanu xa kubuya ixhego
Sifunde bhayibhile sonke ekhaya
Mna ekhaya ndikhuliswe ngembeko
Noba ngelinye xesha ndiyilahla
Mna ndakhula ndizipusheli thesho
Emvakoko izinto zatshintsha
Ndiyabulela ngomntanam Rio
Zalwa kwakhe ndavela ndatshintsha
Ndikhulile ihambile iminyaka
Ndibonile ndizihambile indawo
Mandibulele uthixo esandigcine kulomhlaba
Mandizamkele into ezenzeka ebomini bam

Kulonyaka I'm turning 24 (ndibongi nkosi ndisase khona)
Kulonyaka I'm turning 24 (uu ye ye)
Kulonyaka I'm turning 24 (ndibongi nkosi ndisase khona)
Kulonyaka I'm turning 24 (uu ye ye)
Ndicela ubawo andincede ngoxolo
Xandirongo ndizibone ndizithobe
Uphazama yinxalenye yobomi
Ukukhula kundibonise lonto
Usaphila bhudda hlisa umoya
Uselapha ithuba likhona
Ungakwazi ukwenza ka ngcono
Ngomso awulazi kodwa yiba nokholo
Noba kuthwani ungawulahli umbono
Hambi ndawo kundenze ndabona
Leminyaka indenze ndayiqonda
Zinto mkhulu ebe ndifundisa zona
Bathi ungazi kufana nongaboni
Ndiyambulela kakhulu usopijo
Ngemfundiso nangayo yonki into
Ngondazisa nelizwi lika thixo
Ndikhulile ihambile iminyaka
Ndibonile ndizihambile indawo
Mandibulele uthixo esandigcine kulomhlaba
Mandizamkele into ezenzeka ebomini bam

Kulonyaka I'm turning 24 (ndibongi nkosi ndisase khona)
Kulonyaka I'm turning 24 (uu ye ye)
Kulonyaka I'm turning 24 (ndibongi nkosi ndisase khona)
Kulonyaka I'm turning 24 (uu ye ye)

I have traveled for many years
I have seen many places
I must thank God because he created me
I have to accept what happens in my life

This year I'm turning 24 (I thank the lord that I am still here)
This year I'm turning 24 (whoo hoo)
This year I'm turning 24 (I thank the lord that I am still here)
This year I'm turning 24 (whoo hoo)
It could have not been like this
I grow up asking and seeking
It was not a miracle
You would be born and start seeking
We are like grandmothers
Both me and my sisters
I still remember those days when I was a child
We used to go to our uncles and aunts
On Fridays when the salaries were paid
We all studied the bible at home
I was raised according to the traditions at home
Even though I sometimes abandoned them
I grew up sweeping the yard
Now things have changed
I thank you Rio for being my son
Your birth changed me
I have traveled for many years
I have seen many places
I must thank God because he created me
I have to accept what happens in my life

This year I'm turning 24 (I thank the lord that I am still here)
This year I'm turning 24 (whoo hoo)
This year I'm turning 24 (I thank the lord that I am still here)
This year I'm turning 24 (whoo hoo)
I ask my father to give me peace
With time I can see how I humbled myself
Being wrong is part of life
Growing up showed me that
You still live so get a grip
You are blessed with an opportunity
You cannot do everything well
You don't know what will happen tomorrow but have faith
No matter what don't give up on your dream
Traveling has shown me
These years have made me understand
You taught me important things
They say you cannot know someone as well as someone who doesn't see
I am very grateful to you my mother
For your teachings and everything else
You introduced me to the word of God
I have traveled for many years
I have seen many places
I must thank God because he created me
I have to accept what happens in my life

This year I'm turning 24 (I thank the lord that I am still here)
This year I'm turning 24 (whoo hoo)
This year I'm turning 24 (I thank the lord that I am still here)
This year I'm turning 24 (whoo hoo)
