[Chorus]
Iyalil' ilali, iyalil' ilali
Bayakhal' omama
Bathi bajonge kuwe
Iyalil' ilali, iyalil' ilali
Bayakhal' omama
Bathi bajonge kuwe

[Verse 1]
Ubhek' eGoli ufuna ubomi obungcono
And now you're losing yourself in the blur of the star
Ubathembisile abazili
Uzoba ngumntu phakathi kwabantu

[Pre-Chorus]
Ukhethiwe bayakudinga
You have to make it
Keep fighting. oh, oh!

[Chorus]
Iyalil' ilali, iyalil' ilali
Bayakhal' omama
Bathi bajonge kuwe
Iyalil' ilali, iyalil' ilali
Bayakhal' omama
Bathi bajonge kuwe
[Verse 2]
Oh mntakwethu lungis' ingqondo
Buyel' ekhaya, Buyel' ekhaya
Don't let this fast life sallow you whole
Don't let them steal your soul
Buyel' ekhaya, buyel' ekhaya

[Pre-Chorus]
Ukhethiwe bayakudinga
You have to make it
Keep fighting

[Chorus]
Iyalil' ilali, iyalil' ilali
Bayakhal' omama
Bathi bajonge kuwe
Iyalil' ilali, iyalil' ilali
Bayakhal' omama
Bathi bajonge kuwe

[adlibs]
Iyalil' ilali, iyalil' ilali
Bayakhal' omama
Bajonge kuwe
Bajonge kuwe
[Outro]
Iyalil' ilali, iyalil' ilali
Bayakhal' omama
Bathi bajonge kuwe
Iyalil' ilali, iyalil' ilali
Bayakhal' omama
Bathi bajonge kuwe
