Nkosi sikelel Afrika

Composed by Enoch Sontonga.
A man who embodied hope
Or one could perceive him as a believer

In 1897 as a compensate
To those who really long a savior.
 Maluphakanyisw' uphonddo lwayo
Reign of higher state!
He cried to 'HER' motherland

 *Uit die blou van onse Hemel
Within the sadness of our people
CJ Langenhoven criedout for saves of everyone.
 Oor ons ewige gebergtes 

Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso
Gathered are we like stanzas,
As we pray and await for answers
So that one day we maybe as brothers

That when the sound call to come together,
We shall sing and shout for Hours
As we strive for freedom
Written by our beloved brothers.

[Israel Xaba: 28 March 2024]
