Translation of the song lyrics Umfazi - Zahara, Kirk Whalum

Umfazi (original)

Strength of a woman comes from within
You may get her down today, she will surely come around
Strength of a woman comes from within
You can get her down today, she will surely come around
Inyand’entloko, usan’emqolo
Ibuhlung’intliziyo yam
Azi senzeni nenzalo yam
Ibuhlungu intliziyo yam
Azi senzeni nenzalo yam
Ibuhlungu intliziyo yam
Ndizamukuphakamis’intloko yam
Umphefumlo wam, awuvumi
Ibuhlungu intliziyo yam
Ndizam’ukubopha amaxonya ‘am
Izandla zam zidangele
Ibuhlungu intliziyo yam
Ndikunikil’uthando ndakunik’ubomi bam
Ndakunika konke nesizalo sam
Ngoku ndiyampampatha, ngoku andiyazi
Beniphi ixesha lonke mna ndinifuna
Azi senzeni nenzalo yam
Ibuhlungu intliziyo yam
Azi senzeni nenzalo yam
Ibuhlungu intliziyo yam
Azi senzeni nenzalo yam
Ibuhlungu intliziyo yam

Umfazi (translation)

Strength of a woman comes from within
You may get her down today, she will surely come around
Strength of a woman comes from within
You can get her down today, she will surely come around
He has a headache, he is still on his back
It hurts my heart
I do not know what to do with my offspring
My heart aches
I do not know what to do with my offspring
My heart aches
I'm going to raise my head
My soul, you do not agree
My heart aches
I'm trying to tie my knots
My hands are weak
My heart aches
I give you my love and I give you my life
I gave you everything and my womb
Now I'm groping for her, now I don't know
Where have you been all this time?
I do not know what to do with my offspring
My heart aches
I do not know what to do with my offspring
My heart aches
I do not know what to do with my offspring
My heart aches
