Translation of the song lyrics Thembalam - Zahara

Thembalam (original)

Ntengu ntengu macetyane
Undikuthandile we thembalam'
Ntengu ntengu macetyana
Undikukhonzile we sthandwa sam
Ntengu ntengu macetyane
Oh ndikuthandile we thembalam'
Ntengu ntengu macetyana
Oh undikhonzile we sthandwa sam
Andisakwazi ngaphandle kwakho
Umphefumlo wam
Uyancokola ngenxa yakho
Nguw’umphefumlo wam'
Ndijikelwe nangumvandedwa
Ngenxayakho we themba lam'
Ndijikelwe nangumvandedwa
Ngenxayakho we themba lam'
Ntengu ntengu mactyane
Undithandile we thmbalam'
Ntengu ntengu macetyana
Undikhonzile we themba lam'
Uzandibamba la undiyeke la
Unditha ndile we themba lam'
Uzandibamba la undiyeke la
Undikhonzile wethemba lam'
Sendaba yimfama
Ukholo lwam lukhona
Ndimtholile owam uBae
Sendaba yimfama
Ukholo lwam lukhona
Ndimfumene owam ubae
Ntengu ntengu macetyane
Undithandile we themba lam'
Ntengu ntengu macetyana
Undikukhonzile we themba lam'
Uzandibamba la undiyeke la
Undithandile we themba lam
Uzandibamba la undiyeke la
Undikhonzile wethemba lam
Ntengu ntengu macetyane
Undithandile we themba lam
Ntengu ntengu macetyana
Undikhonzile we themba lam
Uzandibamba la undiyeke la
Undithandile wethemba lam
Uzandibamba la undiyeke la
Undikhonzile wethemba lam
Ndimfumene uBae ayeye
Ndimfumene uBae ayeye
Ndimfumene uBae ayeye
Ndimfumene uBae ayeye
Uzandibamba la undiyeke la
Undithandile wethemba lam'
Uzandibamba la undiyeke la
Undikhonzile wethemba lam'
