Chorus
Sobashaya bakhumbula ekubo
( we shall defeat our opposition so that they begin yearning for their
Homes)
Anodlala anodlala webafana
( play the game; play the game bafana )
Sobashaya bakhumbula ekubo
( we shall defeat our opposition so that they begin yearning for their
Homes )
Laduma ! laduma !
( goal ! goal ! )
May you run like the wind
May you aim be true
May your spirit hold
The battle through
May your blood sing
God give you wings
On that field of dreams
We stand with you
Chorus
May you dance your play
May it run your way
May your mighty hearts
Burn a southern flame
May your moment come
May you get your chance
May we all stand proud
On the fields of france
Chorus
