(Jah bless, yeah)
Ndzi nkhensa Xikwembu
Mgadulana, my brother, hear me now
We lost our mama, she left this world so ill
Our sister passed away, but we are standing still
Through the war and the suffering, we survived the cold
Now we are men, a story to be told
Jack Masango, my brother, we came a long way
Now listen to the words that I have to say
Mgadulana makwerhu, rise up and stand tall
Xixima vanhu, respect them one and all
Respect the elders, respect yourself today
Jah bless our journey, guiding our way
(One love, rise up)
Xikwembu led us through the darkest of the night
Out of the war, he brought us to the light
No more suffering, we made it through the pain
Keep your head high, don't let it be in vain
Be humble, be strong, let peace lead your mind
Leave all the anger and the hatred behind
Mgadulana makwerhu, rise up and stand tall
Xixima vanhu, respect them one and all
Respect the elders, respect yourself today
Jah bless our journey, guiding our way
Jack Masango, Mgadulana, stay strong
Respect is the key, brother, all life long
One love, Jah bless
Easy now
