The choir is vibrant, exuberant and colourful, and delivers a toe-tapping and energetic South African musical performance irresistibly combined with mesmerising choreography.
In 2019 the choir received four unanimous "yesses" from the judges on the reality talent show America's Got Talent.
Beautiful Day
Ndlovu Youth Choir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no room no space to rent in this town
You're out of luck and the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck and you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend to take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace It's a beautiful day
Sky falls you feel like It's a beautiful day
You're on the road but you've got no destination
You're in the mud in the maze of her imagination
You love this town even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over and it's been all over you It's a beautiful day
Sky falls you feel like It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away It's a beautiful day
Isilalelo tshanamabeko
See the world in green and blue
See Africa right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out It's a beautiful day
Sky falls you feel like It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away It's a beautiful day (Yebo yebo yebo mama yebo yebo yebo mama)
Yebo yebo yebo mama yebo yebo yebo mama, yebo yebo yebo mama yebo yebo yebo mama
It's a beautiful day (Yebo yebo yebo mama)
It's a beautiful day (Helele mama)
