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

(translation)
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
Bongo thinas
Bongo thinas
Bongo thinas
Hatidi
Bongo thinas
Bongo thinas
Bongo thinas
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
