lyrics
Prayer 1. (Nkosi Sikelel) Lyrics
Nkosi sikelel ama phupo wethu
Nkosi sikelel, Umsebenzi wethu
ngisize ebunyameni
ngisize enhlupekweni
ngisize khanyisa lapho ukhanyisa khona
ngisize, ngisize
Chorus
Nkosi Sikelel, Sikelel
Nkosi Sikelel, Sikelel
Bawo
Yenza zonke izimagaliso zako
Igama lako lena mandla
Mali sebenze njalo
Pholisa inhliziyo ezi phukile oh
Khanyisa lapho kumnyama khona
May the grounds be empty of dreams
Be empty of dreams
And my your light shine on those dreams
Nkosi Sikelel, x4
Khuluma nabo nkosi abahphete impilo zetu
Khuluma nabo wooh wooh
babonise indlela elungile oh
Babonise amandla akho ohh
Sebenza na labo abamoshayo, Ba pholise.
Nkosi Sikelel, x 4
Halleluja x 4
