Giyani |
Siyayibiza Ye! |
As’hambeni |
Hayi 'Ngane (We are calling: hey! let’s go child of Yam ashangane the Shangaan) |
Oh the river is wide |
And the water is deep |
Got no money and I can’t get to sleep |
Takes all my courage to look down that long road |
I am going to Giyani |
With such a heavy load |
I’ve got to: |
Shintsa (change) |
Qina (strengthen myself) |
Quingel isibindi (take courage) |
And don’t give up Oh I’m going to Giynai |
Siyayibiza Ye! |
As’hambeni |
As’hambeni |
Oh I’m going to touch |
That magic mystery |
Leaving my troubles behind me Did you hear about the mouse |
That went to the cat for love |
The cat said: |
Mouse, I can’t be what your’e dreaming of. |
You’re so lonely. |
You’ve got it mixed up. |
You’re looking down below for what lies up above. |
You’ve got to Shintsa (change) |
Qina (strengthen myself) |
Quingel isibindi (take courage) |
Don’t give up |
