Lyrics:
Lomhlaba mncane, lomhlaba
(This world is small)

Lomhlaba mncane, mncane
Lomhlaba uyamangalisa
(This world is small
This world is full of surprises)

Uma wenza okuhle
Noma wenza okubi
Kuzozwakala kude
(Whether you do right or wrong
People from afar will find out)

Noma useMzansi
Noma useBrazili
kuzozwakala kude
(Whether you are from South Africa or Brazil
People from afar will find out)

Mawenz’ okuhle
Umhlaba uzowazi
(If you do right
The world will know)
Mawenz’ okubi
Umhlaba uzowazi
(If you do wrong
The world will know)
Mawenz’ okuhle
Umhlaba uzowazi
(If you do right
The world will know)
Wenz’ okuhle kodwa!
(Do the right thing!)

Shi hom hom
Shi hom hom
Lomhlaba uyamangalisa
(the world is full of surprises)
