Africa my roots
Africa my pride
Oh Africa, my mother land
I fly so rich and gifted
Our nation filled with diversity of cultures
Cultures of bana ba mmala wa sebilo
Oh africa. Hear my cry.
crying for the spirit of ubutu
What happened to those days when human knew their place
And children respecting their elders
When no man could be found walking on the streets drunk
Oh africa. What happened to our root
This days when i look around my spirits sins
For i look to the North
And all i see is a child raising a hand to her own mother
I look to the South
And i see fathers of neglected their roles and abandoned their families
I try running to the East
When the sun rises
Oh nkos′ yam o ma, o baba ne ngan'e ba phethe imboglele
Now where do i run to? Oh Africa hear my cry
Batlo go buswa ba kae go rikatsa le go ruta ngwao. Dipeno tsa rona. Ngwao buswa
That will carry our nation and restore our humanity
For our generation is perishing
Our future is vanishing
And our hope is diminishing
Oh Africa hear my cry
Let is lift our eyes and go back to the mountains and valleys of Africa
Let us remember the pain Tata madiba suffered and strive for Ubuntu
Let us stay united for together we can
OH YES WE CAN!!!
