Story Behind the Song
This song of freedom has moved many hearts. It is dedicated to Nelson Mandella. All of the voices in this track came out of me, I tried to imagine how I am in Africa, standing in open fields surrounded with wild life. This song has really put me in touch with the Africa in my innerworld. It helped me traveling without paying a single cent.
The end of the song is a Didgeridoo quartet played by Osher Levi.
Lyrics
Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika
Current Xhosa Version
Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika
Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo,
Yizwa imithan da zo yethu,
Nkosi sikelela, X 2
Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika
Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo,
Yizwa imithan da zo yethu,
Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo.
Morena bolooka setjhaba sa hesoo,
Oo fedise dintwa la matshwen yeho,
Morena bolooka setjhaba sa hesoo,
Oo fedise dintwa la matshwen yeho
Oo se bolooke, O, se bolooke X2
setjhaba sa hesoo,
Setjhaba sa Afrika
Oo se bolooke, O se bolooke X2
setjhaba sa hesoo,
Setjhaba sa Afrika
