Ndaibhururuka kuna amai vangu
Dai ndanga ndine makumbo mana
Ndaimhanya ndoenda kuna ba vangu
(Heeei) Dai ndiri shiri ndaibhururuka
(Ho ndaibhururuka kani) Ndaibururuka kuna amai vangu
(Hodai ndine makumbo mana) Dai ndanga ndine makumbo mana
(He dai ndiri shiri kani) Dai ndiri shiri ndaibhururuka
(Ho ndaibhururuka kani) Ndaibururuka kuna amai vangu
(Hodai ndine makumbo mana) Dai ndanga ndine makumbo mana
(Ho ndaimhanya ndaimhanya) Ndaimhanya ndoenda kuna baba vangu
Ayikho into eqgithi khaya
Xa uxakekile une hlungu zakho
Akhuko ndawo

Efana nekhaya lakho
Apho kukhona khona uthando
Apho kukhona ukunwaba
Apho kukhona izihlobo zako

The lyrics to Bongo Maffin's song Kura Uone reflect on the struggles and challenges faced by people in their search for a place of belonging and acceptance. The singer recounts their journey, starting with a sense of aimlessness that led them to seek refuge and guidance from their mother. The journey progresses with the singer realizing the importance of family and community, represented by their father. The lyrics highlight the struggles and challenges encountered along the journey but also emphasize the importance of resilience and determination. The chorus, "Dai ndiri shiri ndaibhururuka" which translates to "If I were a bird, I would fly away," symbolizes the singer's desire to escape from the difficulties of life, but their resolve to keep on going keeps them grounded.

Mother, sister, and brothers are here
Makgakgeng a bo madipila
The village is not dirt
Kore ba tansa mokotla sampa dipampentsa
They don't waste time pretending

We talk, communicate and support each other
Seno re se bitsa re re boitumelo
We call it happiness
Maroping kgo tlhokekga poelo
Even if hardships come to find us
Re buwe katsa botshelo
We will fight through life together
Botshelo jwateng le botshelo ba motsogapele
This life and life to come
Ha re buele semele ke ka moo tshitshilwane e seilweng e lwala
When we meet, we will talk of the cricket trapped in our home

What's your wealth in life?

(Verse 1)
Ayikho into egqith' ikhaya (There's nothing better than a home)
Xa uxakekile une ntlungu zakho (When you're facing difficulties)
Akukho ndawo (There's no place)
Akukho ndawo (There's no place)
Efana nekhaya lakho (Like your home)
Apho kukhona khona uthando (Where there is love)
Apho kukhona ukonwaba (Where there is joy and happiness)
Apho kukhona izihlobo zako (Where there are friends)
Apho kukhona khona uthando (Where there is love)
Apho kukhona ukonwaba (Where there is happiness)
Apho kukhona izihlobo zako (Where there are friends)
