[Chorus I]
Hush child
Dad will be back
He's going to Johannesburg
He's going to work

Hush child (Hush, my child)
Dad will be back (He'll be back, he'll be back, he'll be back)
He's going to Johannesburg (He's going to Johannesburg)
He's going to work (He's going to work, he's going to work)

Hush child (Hush, my child)
I'm working, I'm working
Dad will be back (He'll be back, he'll be back, he'll be back)
I'm working, I'm working
He's going to Johannesburg (He's going to Johannesburgo)
I'm working, I'm working
He's going to work (He's going to work, he's going to work)

Hush child (Hush, hush, hush, my child)
I'm working, I'm working
Bab' uzoboya (He'll be back, dad will be back)
I'm working, I'm working
Usay' eGoli (He's going to Johannesburgi)
I'm working, I'm working
He's going to work (Here's going to work, dad is going to work)
Hush child

[Chorus II]
I'm working

I'm working
I'm working, I'm working
I'm working, I'm working
