Ayibalulekanga imoto oyiqhubayo
Andizikhathalelanga iimpahla ozingxibayo
Nob' ubeth' iLoxion Kulca okanye ushay' iBillabong
Ub' ubiziwe yiAfrika then we're singing the same song
Nguban' othe suhlal' ezulwini nangona usemhlabeni
Nguwe wedwa ozibambezelayo, ubomi ngobakho
Selifikile ixesha lokusenza isigqibo sokuphila
Ub' ubiziwe yiAfrika, the same song we all sing
Akukho mali
Asinamali
As'funi mali
S'fun' ubumnandi
Akukho bumnandi
Asinamnandi
As'fun' bumnandi
Sifun' uthando
Where are you going?
Where are you coming from?
Where are you going?
Where are you coming from?
Are you coming from Senegal Libya Congo Zimbabwe?
Egypt Nigeria Mali Rwanda?
Uganda Botswana Malawi Zanzibar?
Kapa Thekwini Joburg Soweto Ebhayi Mowbray Kaap!
Ootata bethu kudala bekhala: the same job for thirty years
Akukho nto ibonakalayo- except for thirty kids
Nob' uqhub' iDatsun endala
Okanye ushay' iMercedes Benz
Ub' ubiziwe yi Afrika, then we're singing the same song
(Doesn't matter what car you drive
Don't care what clothes you wear
Even if you choose the iLoxion Kulca
Or choose Billabong
If you've been called by Africa then we're singing the same song
Who said you can't enjoy Heaven if you're on earth
You are the only one holding yourself back
This life is yours
The time has come to make a decision to live
If you've been called by Africa, the same song we all sing
There is no money
We have no money
We don't want money
We want to party
There is no party
We have no party
We don't to party
We want love
Where are you going?
Where are you coming from?
Where are you going?
Where are you coming from?
Are you coming from Senegal Libya Congo Zimbabwe?
Egypt Nigeria Mali Rwanda?
Uganda Botswana Malawi Zanzibar?
Kapa Thekwini Joburg Soweto Ebhayi Mowbray Kaap!
Long have our fathers been crying
The same job for thirty years
Nothing to show for it
Except for thirty kids
Even if you drive an old Datsun
Or you drive a Mercedes Benz
If you've been called by Africa the same song we all sing
