Translation of the song lyrics Helele - Velile, Safri Duo

Helele (original)

Helele, bomama
Amasiko ethu
Soze aphele kithi
Nabo okhokho bethu
Izimbali zesizwe
(Asibonge komama)
Abathokozisa bethu
(Asibonge abazali)
Izimbali zesizwe
(Asibonge komama)
Uma mina nawe singabambisana
Uma mina nawe singahloniphana
Helele, bomama
Amasiko ethu
Soze aphele kithi
Nabo okhokho bethu
Bridge:
Phambili, bomama
Themba lesizwe
Hheyi ubuhle benu
Soze buphele
Amaqhawe esizwe
(Asibonge komama)
Bona basikhulisa
(Asibonge abazali)
Yini ehlula abazali
(Asibonge komama)
Uma mina nawe singabambisana
Uma mina nawe singahloniphana
Helele, bomama
Amasiko ethu
Soze aphele kithi
Nabo okhokho bethu
Bridge:
Phambili, bomama
Themba lesizwe
Hheyi ubuhle benu
Soze buphele
Helele, bomama
Amasiko ethu
Soze aphele kithi
Nabo okhokho bethu

What defeats parents
