Waqamb' amanga mus' ukuqamb' amanga

[you were lying, do not tell lies]

Wangi qambela amanga ufuna ukungilahlisa

Ithemba lami wemame!

[you told lies, trying to mislead me,

So that i would give up my faith and hope.]

Washo njalo! wathi ikusasa lethu

Selimnyama hawu wasi qambela amanga

[that is what you said -- you said that our future is hopeless,

Our tomorrow is bleak, you were lying,

Trying to mislead us]

Ngeke sivuma -- ngeke silahla itemba

[no can do! we will never relinquish our faith]





Chorus:

Kuzulonga ukuthi nini? asazi!

[everything will be all right --

It's just when this will be, we cannot know]

Kuzolonga wena 'mngane wami

[everything will come right, i tell you friend]]

Masuku lahla ithemba lakho

[do not throw away your hope]

Mina ngapha wena ngapha sizoyi bamba

[me holding on one side, you holding on the other side

Together we will pull through]

Thina nawe, thina nawe

[you and me, you and me]



Umoya wami onakele

[my spirits are down]

Wena wemtaka antie hawu wangi shayisa uvalo

[i say to you child of my aunt, you have caused me great fear]

Washo njalo! wathi ikusasa lethu

Selimnyama hawu wasi qambela amanga

[you told lies, trying to mislead me,

So that i would give up my faith and hope.]

Washo njalo! wathi ikusasa lethu

Selimnyama hawu wasi qambela amanga

[that is what you said -- you said that our future is hopeless,

Our tomorrow is bleak, you were lying,

Trying to mislead us]

Ngeke sivuma -- ngeke silahla itemba

[no can do! we will never relinquish our faith]



Chorus:

Kuzulonga ukuthi nini? asazi!

[everything will be all right --

It's just when this will be, we cannot know]

Kuzolonga wena 'mngane wami

[everything will come right, i tell you friend]



Kuzolonga 'mngane wami ngiyakutshela

[it will be all right my friend, i'm telling you]

Woza wesibindi! uyaphilisa uyabulala

[come true courage, for it is you who gives

Life and takes it away

Mina ngapha -- wena ngapha sizoyibamba

[me on this side, you on the other,

We will hold it together]

Ungalalleli law' amanga 'mngane wami

[don't listen to the lies of my compatriot]

Oh sizobahlula thina nawa

[we will be victorious in the end, just you and me]

Oh thina nama

[just you and me]



I saw the berlin wall fall

I saw mandela walk free

I saw a dream whose time has come

Change my history -- so keep on dreaming



Deam on dreamer, dreamer



In the best of times and in the worst of times

Gotta keep looking at the skyline

Not at a hole in the road

Your time will come, sister, your time will come

Nobody's gonna rush history, we have to ease it along

-- just ease it along
