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)
