DBN Gogo Lyrics

Shwele, shwele, shwele, shwele
Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat

Mntaka mama, bacel'ushwele
Mother's child, asking for help

Shwele, shwele, shwele, shwele
Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat

Mntaka tata
Father's child

Ba'celu shwele
They ask for help

Asibangene angeke siba'xolele
We can't reconcile even if we try

Ampane siba'khothamele angeke
We won't fear even if we are attacked

Mele sibe yis'zekelo
We will stay confident

Sgijimis' impumelelo
Chase our dreams

Sbheke, bath' k'mele siz'yenzele
Look, they say we won't succeed let's prove them wrong

Ng'phethe amasoja angeke bas'qede
I raise the soldiers, they won't retreat

Ampane bas'yeke
We won't give up

Asiz'fikelanga bas'thumele
They won't finish us even when they fight

Vele basmele
They underestimate us

Asiz'fikelanga bas'thumele
They won't finish us even when they fight

Abaphansi vele bas'mele
Those beneath us underestimate us

Shubisa vele shubisa vele shubisa vele
Hurry, hurry, hurry

Soy' shubisa vele shubisa vele shubisa vele
Hurry and don't delay

Shubi, shubis shubis shubis shubis shubis (Bakhal'abantu)
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry (people are crying)

Shubi, shubis shubis shubis shubis shubis
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry

Cel'ubatshele ang'phelanga batshele ang'sabanga
Tell them we don't stop, we won't give up

Amandla ngowam, ng'saba thusa namanje
My strength will help me assist now

K'ngashona malanga, ng'sabakhathaza
I won't lose, even if it's hard

Ubone besaka ngenxa yok'jahha
You see it's all because of jealousy

Batshele ang'phelanga batshele ang'sabanga
Tell them we don't stop, we won't give up

Sya tasher ngena ezam ezam
We are going to overcome

Ezam ezam ezam
Overcome, overcome, overcome

Ay angeke
No, never

Akulahlwa mbeleko ngakufela
The past won't hold me back

Utlwa utlwa utlwa
Listen, listen, listen
