Translation of the song lyrics Inkanyezi Nezazi (The Star And The Wiseman) - Ladysmith Black Mambazo

Inkanyezi Nezazi (The Star And The Wiseman) (original)

Kuye kwamemeza baprofethi emandulo
Kumemeza abantu abadala kangaka
Webantwana kanisalaleni ngani
Umbiko wokuzalwa kenkosi uJesu
Nansoke inkanyezi enhle kunazozonke
Eyalandelwa isiswe zivela empumalanga
Baba baba wami;
baba (hmm) Bhinc' (hmm) ibeshu lakho
Simemeza ngazwi linyi (hmm) Sithi (hmm) Izelwe (hmm)
Inkosi Yamakhosi
Mama mama wami;
Mama, bhinci, sidwaba sakho
Vunula uphelele sisho ngamphimbo linye sithi izelwe inkoi yamakhosi
Yinhle kunazozonke, masiyilandeleni khona sizophumelela
(Unqinisile umprofethi… lenkanyezi)
Saqala Sabezwa besho saze sabona nathi embhalweni
Sabe, sesiyakholwa, yilolo esikufundayo lithini ibhabeli
(uJesu uyinkosi)
Amen Halleluya Amen

Inkanyezi Nezazi (The Star And The Wiseman) (translation)

It has been called by ancient prophets
It screams so old people
Do not sleep with the children
The account of the birth of the Lord Jesus
Nansoke is the most beautiful star
This was followed by a march from the east
My father;
father (hmm) Gird (hmm) your belt
We shout (hmm) We say (hmm) Born (hmm)
King of Kings
My mother;
Mom, baby, your baby
Dress in full and say in one voice that he was born the king of kings
It is the best of all, so let's follow it and be successful
(True prophet… star)
We first heard them say it until we saw it in the text
Then, we believe, that's what we read what the Bible says
(Jesus is king)
Amen Hallelujah Amen
