Nkosi yami phendula ngiyacela [x4] [Answer me my God, I ask you]
[Chorus:]
Phendula phendula phendula [x4] [Answer me, answer me, answer]
Sinikela kuwe sincamile ngokwethu [x4] [You sacrificed yourself for our sake]
[Chorus]
Umhlaba wonke, ujonge nguwe [You were pierced to save me]
Ihlube kuyethu, Yaziwa nguwe [You were stripped in public for us]
Anezifo zethu, Sophiliswa nguwe [You heal our diseases]
Unovuyo lwetu, Luvela kuwe [You appear to speak on our behalf]
[Chorus]
Hau Afrika, Afrika…
[Chorus]
