Nithi Angithule

Ngiyasebenza ngiyasebenza
Ngiyazgqilaza ngomsebenzi wami weh
Ngiyasebenza ngiyasebenza
Ngiyazgqilaza ngomsebenzi wami weh

Kodwa abelungu bami ababongi
Kodwa abelungu bami ababongi
Kodwa abelungu bami bangthuka ngenhlamba
Kodwa abelungu bami bangthuka ngenhlamba
Bathi muntu kheman' khafula bashokubani?
Bathi muntu kheman' khafula bashokubani?

Nina nith' angthule nith' angthule
Ngingathula ngingathula kanjani labelungu bedlala ngami kanje
(Nith' angthule abelungu bedlala ngami nith' angthule)
Kuthiwe mangthule nje (nith' angthule abelungu bedlala ngami nith' angthule)
Kodwa ngathula kanjani (nith' angthule abelungu bedlala ngami nith' angthule)
Ngeke ngthule mina (geke ngithule abelungu bedlala ngami kuthiwa angthule)
Aw ngeke ngthule mina (angeke ngithule angthule abelungu bedlala ngami kuthiwa angthule)
Aw ngeke ngthule mina (angeke ngithule angthule abelungu bedlala ngami kuthiwa angthule)
(Nith' angthule abelungu bedlala ngami nith' angthule)

Zasha phela Phuzekhemisi
Wayhlaba ngempela mfoka Majazana
Khona phansi ephefeni engzalwa khona
Umfula engiw'phuzayo ngphuza uMakhoya kade
Khona ka Dumisa eMkhomazi
Khuphuka lapho-ke mfoka Ngwazi
EPotchefstroom lengamthatha khona lombhemi
Bhu! Uthini uSlahla-mathende?

Ngiyasebenza ngiyasebenza
Ngiyazgqilaza ngomsebenzi wami weh
Ngiyazigqilaza ngomsebenzi wami weh
Aw kodwa abelungu bami ababongi
Aw kodwa abelungu bami bangthuka ngenhlamba
Aw kodwa abelungu bami bangthuka ngenhlamba
Bathi muntu kheman' khafula bashokubani?
Bathi muntu kheman' khafula bashokubani?

You Say I Must Keep Quiet

I’m working, I’m working hard
I am slaving away at my job
I’m working, I’m working hard
I am slaving away at my job

But my white bosses don't appreciate it
But my white bosses don't appreciate it
But my white bosses insult me
But my white bosses insult me
They say, "This person, where is he from?"
They say, "This person, where is he from?"

You say I must keep quiet, you say I must keep quiet
How can I keep quiet when these white people are messing with me like this?
(You say I must keep quiet when these white people are messing with me like this)
They say I must keep quiet (You say I must keep quiet when these white people are messing with me like this)
But how can I keep quiet? (You say I must keep quiet when these white people are messing with me like this)
I can't keep quiet (I can't keep quiet when these white people are messing with me they say I must keep quiet)
Oh, I can't keep quiet (I can't keep quiet, keep quiet when these white people are messing with me they say I must keep quiet)
Oh, I can't keep quiet (I can't keep quiet, keep quiet when these white people are messing with me they say I must keep quiet)
(You say I must keep quiet when these white people are messing with me like this)

Phuzekhemisi has arrived!
He really hit hard, Majazana's son
Down there in the valley where he was born
The Makhoya River I drink from, I've been drinking it for a long time
There at Dumisa's in Mkhomazi
That's where Ngwazi's son comes from
EPotchefstroom where I took this blanket
Boo! What does Slahla-mathende say?

I’m working, I’m working hard
I am slaving away at my job
I am slaving away at my job
Oh, but my white bosses don't appreciate it
Oh, but my white bosses insult me
Oh, but my white bosses insult me
They say, "This person, where is he from?"
They say, "This person, where is he from?"

You say I must keep quiet, you say I must keep quiet
How can I keep quiet when these white people are messing with me like this?
(You say I must keep quiet when these white people are messing with me like this)
They say I must keep quiet (You say I must keep quiet when these white people are messing with me like this)
They say how can I keep quiet? (You say I must keep quiet when these white people are messing with me like this)
Oh, I can't keep quiet (I can't keep quiet when these white people are messing with me they say I must keep quiet)
Oh, I can't keep quiet (I can't keep quiet when these white people are messing with me they say I must keep quiet)
I can't keep quiet (I can't keep quiet when these white people are messing with me they say I must keep quiet)
But how can I keep quiet? (You say I must keep quiet when these white people are messing with me like this)

(You say I must keep quiet when these white people are messing with me like this)
They say how can I keep quiet? (You say I must keep quiet when these white people are messing with me like this)
But how can I keep quiet (You say I must keep quiet when these white people are messing with me like this)
But I must keep quiet (I can't keep quiet when these white people are messing with me they say I must keep quiet)
But I must keep quiet (I can't keep quiet when these white people are messing with me they say I must keep quiet)
Oh, how can I keep quiet? (You say I must keep quiet when these white people are messing with me like this)
