lyrics

Nkosi Sikelel'i Afrika
Maluphakanyisw'mphondo lwayo
Yizwa imithandazo yethu
Nkosi Sikelela thina lusapho lwayo

Woza Moya, woza Moya Oyingcwele
Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso
Ofedise dintwa le matshwenyeho
O se boloke, Ose boloke setjhaba sa heso
Setjhaba sa Afrika

[Trans.
God bless Africa
Raise high her glory
Hear our prayers
God bless us, your children

Come Spirit, come Holy Spirit

God protect our nation
End all wars and tribulations
Protect us - protect our nation
Our nation, Africa
