Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani

Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani
Yithi umanqoba
When I look at all the choices I made in my life
It’s like some natural law
When they bring me trouble and strife
I find my way to your door
Like a wheel
Turning round and round
I always find you
And lay my head down
We’re like some warriors
From some forgotten war
Recalling songs
From a long forgotten shore
Yithi umanqoba

Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani

Woza uzodela inkani
Once we were warriors now we are the playthings of fortune
We always stood on solid ground
Standing back to back, to the wind, we threw caution
Nothing could bring our hearts down
I sometimes feel we are nowhere bound
Then I hear an old familiar sound
It’s a song from a time when we were kings
Conquered the world, we flew on eagle’s wings
Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani
Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani
Yesterday’s gone
And tomorrow is just a dream
All we have is now
Nobody knows
Where the time goes
Where the time goes
Yithi umanqoba
Yithi umanqoba
Sesanqoba izizwe
Uma ufuna thina
Woza uzodela inkani

Als ik kijk naar alle keuzes die ik in mijn leven heb gemaakt
Het is als een natuurwet.
Als ze me problemen en twisten brengen
Ik vind mijn weg naar jouw deur
Als een wiel
Draaien en draaien
Ik vind je altijd
En leg mijn hoofd neer
We zijn net krijgers.
Van een vergeten oorlog.
Nummers herroepen
Van een lang vergeten kust

Ooit waren we krijgers nu zijn we de Speeltjes van het geluk
We stonden altijd op vaste grond
Terug naar achteren, naar de wind, we wierp voorzichtigheid
Niets kan onze harten naar beneden halen
Soms voel ik dat we nergens gebonden zijn.
Dan hoor ik een oud bekend geluid.
Het is een lied uit een tijd dat we koningen waren
Veroverde de wereld, vlogen we op adelaars vleugels

Woza uzodela inkani
Gisteren is weg.
En morgen is gewoon een droom
Alles wat we hebben is nu
Niemand weet het.
Waar de tijd gaat
Waar de tijd gaat
