[Verse 1]
Oh mangi yibuk' es’bukweni
Ngibon' usizi, nezinyembezi
I can't help but wonder how
Such a beautiful face
Go through so much and still smile

[Chorus]
Themba awubulala
Themba uyaphilisa
Ukuba wawubulala, ngabe kade safa
Themba awubulala
Themba uyaphilisa
Ukuba wawubulala, ngabe kade safa

[Verse 2]
Ngiphelelwa ngamandla
Ngiphelelwa ngumoya
Is’zathu sokuphila asikho
I'm certain to the core
I look around nothing makes sense
Nothing feels right
No fighting spirit left

[Chorus]
Themba awubulala
Themba uyaphilisa
Ukuba wawubulala, ngabe kade safa
Themba awubulala
Themba uyaphilisa
Ukuba wawubulala, ngabe kade safa
Themba awubulala
Themba uyaphilisa
Ukuba wawubulala, ngabe kade safa
Themba awubulala
Themba uyaphilisa
Ukuba wawubulala, ngabe kade safa

[Outro]
Ukuba wawubulala
Ngabe kade safa
Ngabe kade safa
Ngabe kade safa
Ngabe kade safa, oh uh uh
