Verse
I work hard every day
To make my beer (Umqombothi)
Wake up early every morning
To please my people with African beer (Umqombothi)
I make sure the fire burns
To make my beer (Umqombothi)
My special beer Umqombothi
(Umqombothi)
Is African beer
We MaDlamini (Everybody)
Uph'umqombothi (Come and drink my)
We MaDlamini (magic beer)
Uph'umqombothi
We MaDlamini (Everybody)
Uph'umqombothi (Come and drink my)
We MaDlamini (African beer)
Uph'umqombothi
I work hard to make them happy
Every weekend (Umqombothi)
Makes them party to the rhythm
Makes them dance, this magic beer (Umqobothi)
I wanna make you happy (Umqobothi)
I wanna make you smile (Umqobothi)
I wanna make you dance (Umqobothi), dance
I'll make sure there's a party
Where they drink my special beer
Umqombothi is magic beer
Umqombothi is African beer
We MaDlamini (Everybody)
Uph'umqombothi (nawu)
We MaDlamini Uph'umqombothi (nawu madoda)
Wozani ka MaDlamini
Wozani ngithi wozani
Wozani ka MaDlamini
Come on I wanna make you happy
I wanna make you smile lets boogie together
Umqombothi (Umqombothi)
I work hard every day
To please my people with African beer
