Thekwana(original) |
Umunt' ongaziyo la esuka khona |
Ufana nomuntu ongazi la ayakhona |
Amaqhawe akwantu |
Siyaziqhenya ngawo |
Intak' ezulu iyandilandela |
Intak' ezulu iyandilandela |
Uthekwana intaka yezulu iyandilandela |
Uyandilandela |
Uyandilandela |
Ndibheke ngapha nangapha |
Usemvakwami |
Umama Maxeka, uHelen Joseph |
Bayandilandela, bayandilandela |
Bayandilandela, uyandilandela |
Ndival' iindlebe zami uyandisebenzela |
UTata Mandela uyandisebenzela |
Ndival' iindlebe zami uyandisebenzela |
Ubab' uLuthuli uyandisebenzela |
(Thekwane, Thekwane, Thekwane inyoni yezulu…) |
Intak' ezulu iyandilandela |
Intak' ezulu iyandilandela |
Uthekwana intaka yezulu iyandilandela |
Uyandilandela |
Uyandilandela |
Ilizwe lonke ndilijikile |
Ndifuna ndifun' impendulo |
Ndajonga phezulu, ubani lona |
O, nguye uThekwane |
Oliver Tambo |
Naba noSobukwe |
Naba noSteve Biko |
Bayandilandela |
Bathi bapheth' amathamsanqa (Thekwane) |
Bapheth intsikelelo (Thekwane, Thekwane inyoni yezulu) |
Bayandilandela |
Bathi bapheth' amathamsanqa (Thekwane) |
Bapheth intsikelelo (Thekwane, Thekwane inyoni yezulu) |
(translation) |
The stranger came from there |
You are like someone who doesn't know they exist |
Folk heroes |
We are proud of it |
The bird in the sky follows me |
The bird in the sky follows me |
When a bird of heaven follows me |
He follows me |
He follows me |
I looked around |
You are behind me |
Mother Maxeka, Helen Joseph |
They follow me, they follow me |
They follow me, you follow me |
I cover my ears and he works for me |
Father Mandela works for me |
I cover my ears and he works for me |
Father Luthuli works for me |
(Thekwane, Thekwane, Thekwane bird of heaven...) |
The bird in the sky follows me |
The bird in the sky follows me |
When a bird of heaven follows me |
He follows me |
He follows me |
I have turned the whole country around |
I want to find an answer |
I looked up, who is it? |
Oh, that's Thekwane |
Oliver Tambo |
Here is Sobukwe |
Here is Steve Biko |
They follow me |
They say they bring good luck (Thekwane) |
Bring a blessing (Thekwane, Thekwane bird of heaven) |
They follow me |
They say they bring good luck (Thekwane) |
Bring a blessing (Thekwane, Thekwane bird of heaven) |
