Ndize Mama Tata

Ndize mama tata, ndi-hi-ze mama tata
Ndize mama tata
Ndi-hi-ze mama tata
Ndize mama tata
Ndi-hi-ze mama tata

Wozani ndithe ndithengis'inkumbulo wo

Ndililanga ngonyezi
Ndingumnqweno wezolo
Ndililizwi egazini
Ndisisingqi samaphupha

Ndilithemba balifela
Ndizinyembezi zantshula
Ndililanga liyaphuma
Ndiyingoma yobomi hey
Ndiyingoma yobomi

Ningathi niy've ngam lendaba
Niyayazi nani
Ningathi niy've ngam lendaba
Niyayazi nani

Wozani ndithe ndithengis'inkumbulo wo

Wandizala weh mnt'omnyama
Wandibek'es'hlalweni
Zandisusa izizwe
Zandilahl'ezindongeni

Nyawo zam zondimela
Zoth'ikhona indlela
Ndivumele ndize ndize
Mama ndize ekhaya

Ningathi niy've ngam lendaba
Niyayazi nani
Ningathi niy've ngam lendaba
Niyayazi nani
Ningathi niy've ngam lendaba
Niyayazi nani

Ndilithemba balifela
Ndizinyembezi zantshula
Ndililanga liyaphuma
Ndiyingoma yobomi

Wozani ndithe ndithengis'inkumbulo wo

Ningathi niy've ngam lendaba
Niyayazi nani
Ningathi niy've ngam lendaba
Niyayazi nani
Ningathi niy've ngam lendaba
Niyayazi nani

I know your heart's been brutalized
Your pride has taken quite a knocking
Made you ashamed of who you are
Still they can't take your soul away
Now I know that things don't look too good
Poverty is rife...

Ndize Mama Tata

I've come home mother and father, I've come home, mother and father
I've come home, mother and father
I've come home, mother and father
I've come home, mother and father
I've come home, mother and father
I've come home, mother and father
I've come home, mother and father

Please welcome me, that I may share my memories with you

I'm the lonely star
I'm the lost one
I'm the hope in my veins
I'm the one covered in dreams

I thought they had died
I'm the tears of the lightning storm
I'm the rising sun
I'm the beat of the drum of life
I'm the beat of the drum of life

Don't say this is all just tales
You know who I am
Don't say this is all just tales
You know who I am

Please welcome me, that I may share my memories with you

You gave birth to me, dark one
You placed me among the people
The nations trampled me
They abandoned me among the ruins

My feet have walked over me
They're all in my way
Allow me to go, to go
Mother, let me go home

Don't say this is all just tales
You know who I am
Don't say this is all just tales
You know who I am
Don't say this is all just tales
You know who I am

I thought they had died
I'm the tears of the lightning storm
I'm the rising sun
I'm the beat of the drum of life

Please welcome me, that I may share my memories with you

Don't say this is all just tales
You know who I am
Don't say this is all just tales
You know who I am
Don't say this is all just tales
You know who I am

I know your heart's been brutalized
Your pride has taken quite a knocking
Made you ashamed of who you are
Still they can't take your soul away
Now I know that things don't look too good
Poverty is rife...
