Aw zasha kumfoka Majazana madoda
Khona phansi eThekwini leng'buya khona
Umful' engiw'phuzayo ng'phuz' Umakhokade
Bhu! Mus' ukung'thwesa ise ngingakaze wena wembhemi hhey wena man
Mina ngizalwa uMajazana mina ilokungazalwa
Mina ang'kaze ngiw'khiph' umphefumulo mina
Wena mus' ungthwes' umhlola
Ungthwes' isono engahlangene naso
Gha!

My Lord

My Lord, protect me from these people
My Lord
My Lord, protect me from these people
My Lord
They hate me, but I don't know my sin
They hate me, but I don't know my sin
My Lord

(What have we done now?)
(What have we done now?)
(What have we done now?)
(Why are they saying we've done something?)
(Why are they saying we've done something?)

They wanted to arrest me, the Majazana men
Down there at Thekwini, they were coming to get me
The beer I drink, I drink Umakhokade
Hey! Don't throw stones at me when you've never been in the water yourself, man
I was born a Majazana, I was born of the water
I will never give up my spirit
Don't try to blame me
You're blaming me for a sin I didn't commit
Ha!

My Lord, what have I done to these people
My Lord
My Lord, what have I done to these people
My Lord
They hate me, but I don't know my sin
They oppress me, they oppress me
They comfort me, My Lord

(What have we done now?) My Lord
(What have we done now?) Why am I being hated by these people
My Lord (what have we done now?)
(Why are they saying we've done something?) My Lord, what have I done to these people
(Why are they saying we've done something?)
(What have we done now?) They hate me but I don't know why
We don't know what we've done to them (what have we done now?)
They oppress me! (What have we done now?)

(Why are they saying we've done something?) They oppress me
(Why are they saying we've done something?) They hate me, but I don't know my sin
They hate me, but I don't know my sin (what have we done now?)
They hate me, but I don't know my sin (what have we done now?)
