(Shaker rises, deep log drum rolls)
Siyabonga Nkosi...
For the family, friends or enemies.
Aweh.
I look at my family and I see your grace
Some are still here, some left this place
But their spirits are with us, we feel them nearby
Guided by angels up in the sky
We hustle together, we share in the pain
Through every storm, we rise up again
Yebo, we keep the fire burning bright
Siyabonga Mwana aambelele for the love we share
To the ones who are here and the ones up there
Imendeni yami, we stand so strong
In the groove of the night, we sing this song
Ndalumba, ndalumba
Leza for protect us, we carry along
Mama and Papa, the brothers, the squad
We lift up our hands and we thank the Mwami,
Even the ones who have gone to the light
They watch over us through the darkest night
From mapanzya to choma, the bloodline is deep
Promises made are the promises we keep
Sharp sharp, we celebrate life today!
Siyabonga Nkosi for the love we share
To the ones who are here and the ones up there
Imendeni yami, we stand so strong
In the groove of the night, we sing this song
Siyabonga, siyabonga
AbaPhansi protect us, we carry along
Siyabonga...
For the family
,friends.
Sho. Asambe.
