They stood firm with they fits air he air
In their uniforms they rose together
Bebambisene ngezandla bengapheli mandla
Bezijule ijacu besilwa nonyanzeliso lwemfundo ngolwimi lesibhulu
Bengaxhobe ngazikhali koko ngobambiswano nemvisiswano
Confronting heavily armed police
They were only looking for justice
Basuka babachitha-chitha ngezibham
teargases and live ammunition
Brutally killed in cold blood
Senzeni? Babuza besihla ngama amadolo
Zange kuphume mpendulo zazuke zangalelwa imbumbulu emqolo
I salute you: Hector Peterson, Mbuyisa Makhubu, Tsietsi Mashinini and all the youth of 1976
Siyabulela as the Nation for the contribution to our liberation.
Ewe sisakhala hence they call us a sad generation
Ndinothulela umnqwazi for prioritizing education
Namhlanje on the other side of the world
I detecte no repugnance nor aversion
Ndihlohlwa Xhosa esixoziweyo sakulomxoxozi
Imijelo yemfundo ngelwimi zabantsudu indijikelezile
I've got a handful of right ezinye zindixakile Plethora of prerogatives ezinye zindidinile
DEMIURGE
Grant them Mbadadas to wander in glory
Your struggle was not in vein
It's us who are making waves in the atmosphere
Nangona We are still bleeding
Akhonto intle ulutsha lujila lukhohliwe namakhekhephe abo
Iminxima mxhaka nezikhakhamela igcakameli langa
Omathwala qokobhe bayancwizisa intswelo ngqesho ibabambe ngazo zozibini.
Through trails we still hope for a better tomorrow
We repudiate living in dejection and sorrow
We gonna run until we run out of bone marrow Just Look how far we have come.
The trials and tribulation we survived.
You are the unyielding rocks
The unshakeable mountains
Phambili Mzantsi Phambili!!
