Siyayibiza Ye! As`hambeni
Hayi `Ngane (We are calling: hey! let`s go child of
Yam ashangane the Shangaan)
Oh the river is wide
And the water is deep
Got no money and I can`t get to sleep
Takes all my courage to look down that long road
I am going to Giyani
With such a heavy load
I`ve got to:
Shintsa (change)
Qina (strengthen myself)
Quingel isibindi (take courage)
And don`t give up
Chorus
Oh I`m going to Giynai
Siyayibiza Ye! As`hambeni
As`hambeni
Oh I`m going to touch
That magic mystery
Leaving my troubles behind me
Did you hear about the mouse
That went to the cat for love
The cat said:
Mouse, I can`t be what your`e dreaming of.
You`re so lonely. You`ve got it mixed up.
You`re looking down below for what lies up above.
You`ve got to
Shintsa (change)
Qina (strengthen myself)
Quingel isibindi (take courage)
Don`t give up
Chorus.....
