Kumnandi!
Besibuka. Sijuluka.
Endaweni jo.
Kumnandi.
Safika sahlupha sahlika sakhuphuka.
Endaweni jo,
Thina s'ya jaivaBesibuka. Sijuluka.
Endaweni jo.
Kumnandi.
Safika sahlupha sahlika sakhuphuka!
Jaiva ngath' uzolahla
Uyis'shwapa nom'uyapaka
Slender? Big Mama?
Bacabang'kuthi s'zo lahla.
Who do you think you are acting all fitter?
Yhu! Uyabhora no bhora xa ujika.
You're as interesting as umakhulu xa e-knita
This Kalawa Chikita got no competer!
Performer for life andizumitha no mitha
Ndibulela the day uOskido ndam-meeter
Nam ndikwaz' ipoverty ukuy'gqitha
Ndawugqiba ndiwagqobhe lama gqwirha!!
They wanna be free as you are
Oh Oh Oh They wanna be free as you are
Oh Oh Oh Dance all night until the song is over
Feeling lucky like a four-leaf clover
Hungover! And I won't stop till I fall over...
Jaiva ngath' uzolahla
Uyis'shwapa nom'uyapaka
Slender? Big Mama?
Bacabang'kuthi s'zo lahla.
S'endaweni jo
Besibuka. Sijuluka.

Shake it on till the break of dawn,

I want to see you rock your body
Rock your body on me.
They wanna be free as you are
