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 the 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 [here is a lion and a tiger]
(repeat)
(repeat third verse)
(repeat chorus)
