Ingonyama nengw' enamabala [here is a lion and a tiger]
Night
And the spirit of life
Calling

Oh, oh, iyo
Mamela [listen]
Oh, oh, iyo

And a voice
With the fear of a child
Answers

Oh, oh, iyo
Oh, mamela [listen]
Oh, oh, iyo

Ubukhosi bo khokho [throne of the ancestors]
We ndodana ye sizwe sonke [oh, son of the nation)]

Wait
There's no mountain too great
Oh, oh, iyo
Hear these words and have faith
Oh, oh, iyo
Have faith

Hela hey mamela [hey, listen]

Chorus:

He lives in you
He lives in me
He watches over
Everything we see
Into the water
Into the truth
In your reflection
He lives in you

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
(repeat)

(repeat third verse)

(repeat chorus)
