Twende Twende(original) |
Bongo thinas |
Bongo thinas |
Zunguka Zunguzuka neni |
Kuja nami tuungane tuache kuzozana |
Ngatiende tiende mberi |
Wajua Upendo hauna mfano hauna adui kaka |
Takabatana savatema |
It’s pole pole going slow |
But still we’re keeping time |
We’re facing forward looking up |
Forgetting what’s behind |
Twende Afrika heyo! |
Twende Twende |
Kuja nami |
Twende Twende |
Upande upande |
We ongoza nikufuate |
Tiende tiende |
Mberi mberi |
Twende Twende |
Kwete shure |
Zunguka Zunguzuka neni |
Zvinoda rudo kubatana Kuti tibudirire |
Twahitaji upendo ili tusonge mbele |
Kutambura kwedu Zvichida hatina rudo |
Ukosefu wa upendo waleta dhiki |
There’s more to Mama Africa |
Than poverty and war |
I wish we had a fighting chance |
To show off who we are |
Twende Twende |
Kuja nami |
Twende Twende |
Upande upande |
We ongoza nikufuate |
Tiende tiende |
Mberi mberi |
Twende Twende |
Kwete shure |
Zunguka Zunguzuka neni |
Bongo thinas |
Bongo thinas |
Bongo thinas |
Hatidi |
Bongo thinas |
Bongo thinas |
Bongo thinas |
Sitaki |
Ukiumizwa hata mimi ninasikia uchungu |
'kiangaishwa ninalia ukilia dada |
Chinokubanda misodzi yangu inobuda |
Paunosuwa moyo wangu unorwadza |
You hear the music miles around |
The drumbeats never end |
The voices raised for Africa |
Nkosi Sikeleli |
Twende Twende |
Kuja nami |
Twende Twende |
Upande upande |
We ongoza nikufuate |
Tiende tiende |
Mberi mberi |
Twende Twende |
Kwete shure |
Zunguka Zunguzuka neni |

Bongo thinas |
Bongo thinas |
Go around Zunguzuka neni |
Come with me and let's stop arguing |
Let's move on |
You know Love is unparalleled it has no enemy brother |
We are united as blacks |
It’s pole pole going slow |
But still we’re keeping time |
We’re facing forward looking up |
Forgetting what’s behind |
Let's go to Africa! |
Lets go, lets go |
Come with me |
Lets go, lets go |
Side by side |
We lead you to follow you |
Tiende tiende |
Forward |
Lets go, lets go |
Not back |
Go around Zunguzuka neni |
It takes love to unite To succeed |
We need love in order to move forward |
Our Suffering Perhaps we lack love |
Lack of love brings distress |
There’s more to Mama Africa |
Than poverty and war |
I wish we had a fighting chance |
To show off who we are |
Lets go, lets go |
Come with me |
Lets go, lets go |
Side by side |
We lead you to follow you |
Tiende tiende |
Forward |
Lets go, lets go |
Not back |
Go around Zunguzuka neni |

Sitaki |
If you get hurt even I feel pain |
'I'm so sorry I'm crying sister |
Tears well up in my eyes, and I shed tears |
When you miss my heart hurts |
You hear the music miles around |
The drumbeats never end |
The voices raised for Africa |
Lord Sikeleli |
Lets go, lets go |
Come with me |
Lets go, lets go |
Side by side |
We lead you to follow you |
Tiende tiende |
Forward |
Lets go, lets go |
Not back |
Go around Zunguzuka neni |
