Iza Ngomso - "Come Tomorrow" (original)

Imvula izawubuya ezulwini
Umphungu uphinde ube imvula namafu
Ndizawuqabela
Apho amatapha nentsimi eluhlaza
Izikhephe ezizotyiweyo zibhabha emoyeni
Njengentaka ndiyabhabha,
Ndibamba umoya
Njengentaka ndiyabhabha,
Ndibambelele ngamaphiko
Iza ngomso
Kuzawubalela
Makube ngomso
Iyeza imini
Ndibhabha, ndidada emhlabeni wonke,
Ndibamba umoya
Phezukwe santizasendle,
Phezukwamalwandle namachibi
Njengentaka ndiyabhabha,
Njengentaka ndiyacula
Lizaw’balela
Makube ngomso

(translation)

The rain will come back from heaven
The eagle also becomes rain and clouds
I'll ride it
Where the fields and fields are green
Painted boats fly through the air
Like a bird that flies,
I catch my breath
Like a bird that flies,
I hold on to the wings
Coming tomorrow
It will count
Let it be tomorrow
The day is coming
I soar on the surface of the earth,
I catch my breath
Over the wild beasts of the field,
On the seas and lakes
Like a bird that flies,
Like a bird I sing
It will count
Let it be tomorrow
