Ingonyama bagithi baba
Sithi uhhmm ingonyama

Nants ingonyama bagithi baba
Sithi uhhmm ingonyama
Ingonyama

Siyo nqoba (ingonyama)
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Au matin de ta vie sur la planète
Ébloui par le dieu soleil
À l'infini, tu t'éveilles aux merveilles
De la terre, qui t'attend et t'appelle

Tu auras tant de choses à voir
Pour franchir la frontière du savoir
Recueillir l'héritage
Qui vient du fond des âges
Dans l'harmonie d'une chaîne d'amour

C'est l'histoire de la vie
Le cycle éternel
Qu'un enfant béni
Rend immortel

La ronde infinie
De ce cycle éternel
C'est l'histoire
L'histoire de la vie

C'est l'histoire de la vie
Le cycle éternel
Qu'un enfant béni
Rend immortel

La ronde infinie
De ce cycle éternel




C'est l'histoire
L'histoire de la vie
