Mina ni swaliwi u siwanini
Mamana wanga ani wundle hiku hlupheka (um um)
Mamana wanga ani wundle hiku rhimela
Manwani masika hiyetlela hinga dlanga
Mamana a rhila aku nitaku yini nwananga
Hey vangano va wena xicole loku uva vona va busa
Tikhomi, unga naveli nwananga
Ni sangula ku hamba mabadjia mi ni xakolwene
Nitsema ni hunhi ni xavisa, ni hlayisa timbuti nati kumba
Ni zama zama matlelu hinkwawu nita pfuna mamani
It’s my story, story aa eeee
Story aa eeee
Story aa eeee
Story of my life
It’s my story, story aa eeee
Story aa eeee
Story aa eeee
Story of my life eeee
Ni fikili ka txaintxai, hiku lava vutomi nwana mamani
Nikuma nhana ntirhu, kaya kamunwane wa maman iwa phoyisa
Niva ni suka, niya tirha ka barraca
Kambe lweyi wa patrao wa mona ani sukela hitimpama
Oyooo maweee, swa tika mawe
Utomi la mina, nita byela mane
Mamani ninguemu foneli byela leswi, swingamu vava mbilu
Anga wondza hiku rhila madala wa mina
It’s my story, story aa eeee
Story aa eeee
Story aa eeee
Story of my life
It’s my story, story aa eeee
Story aa eeee
Story aa eeee
Story of my life
Ni fikili kamaputsu, mina ni zama zama
Ingave mani lweyi angata pfuna mina
Nixavisi magwala le benfica (wawe)
Ni xavisa tinpahla (wawe)
Usikwini ni guidela xikola nani lava utomi
Kame mbilu ya mina yini komba swaku txayo (hey)
Ambilu ya mina ini komba swati ngoma
Ni zama zama, nambi swo yala
Ni tiyisela nambi swo tika
Namuntla la ni fambuka mina vali bawito
Nwana mamani yana mahlwene
Haleluia, xikwembu xini hlamulile mino
Haleluia, xikwembu xini twelile maxaka
Haleluia, xikwembu xini pfunili vaka hino
Haleluia, nita pfuna mamani
It’s my story, story aa eeee
