Amaxesha ayavuma wo wo wo
The times are on my side
He he amaxesha ayavuma wo wo wo
The times are on my side
Themba limbi andinalo
I do not have another hope
Nguw' ithemba lam
You are my only hope
Nguwe nguwe nguw′ ithemba lam
Nguwe nguwe nguw′ ithemba lam
Phantse ndangen' endongeni
I almost ran into a wall
Phantse ndanyathel′ umsila
Phantse ndanyathel′ umsila
Phantse ndahlala kwaphela
I almost never woke up
Phantse ndaval' umnyango
I almost closed the door
Phantse ndadudel' uhambo
I almost ignored moving
Nguban' oth' andinawo
Who said I do not have the power?
Amandla wazi njani
How does s/he know?
Phantse ndammamela yena
I almost listened to him/her
