Lyrics and Translation

Bawo, Thixo Somandla, (Father, God Almighty)
Buyinton’ ubugwenxa bam? (What are our sins)
Azi senzen’ ebusweni beNkosi, (What have we wronged you, Lord)
Bawo, Thixo Somandla? (Father, God Almighty)

Azi senzeni na? (What have we done?) x2
Azi senzeni Nkosi yam, (What have we done, My Lord?)
Sigqibana nje! (That we kill each other thus!)

Emhlaben’ (This world)
Sibuthwel’ ubunzima (Is full of troubles) x2
Bawo, Thixo Somandla. (Father, God Almighty)

Mayedlule lendebe (May this cup pass from us), x2
Azi senzeni Nkosi yam (What have we dome My Lord),
Sigqibana nje (That We kill each other thus)!

Ndnesingqala (I have a continuous cry)
Enhliziyweni yam (Inside my heart)
Ndisolokho ndisitsho Mngci! (I keep saying Truly)
Ayidlule lendebe, (May this cup pass from us)
Bawo, Thixo Somandla. (Father, God Almighty)

Senzeni Na - What have we done?
Sohlangana, ezulwini - We will meet in Heaven

Emlanjeni eBabiloni (By the river of Babylon) x3
Sathi vuthu, sahlala phansi (where we sat down)
Salila izinyembezi (And there we wept)
Sathi vuthu, sahlala phansi (Where we sat down)
Salila izinyembezi (And there we wept)

Somandla siyabonga (Lord we thank you)
Uthando isiphelona (For your love and refuge (?))
Sikhala isithlupheka, (You heard our cries and troubles)
Uyazisuli izinyembezi (And You wiped our tears)
Sathi vuthu, sahlala phansi (Where we sat down)
Salila izinyembezi (And there we wept)
(Repeat)

“Yelele” is sound of praise
Yele yelele Jehova, Yele Yele
Yele Yelele, Yele Yele
Yele Yelele, Yele Yele Yele Modimo (The Lord) in Sotho
