GIYANI
Siyayibiza ye! As’hambeni
Hayi ‘ngane
Yamashangane
(We are calling: hey! Let’s go! Child of
the Shangane..)
Siyayibiza ye! As’hambeni
(We are calling: hey! Let’s go!)
Oh the river is wide and
The water is deep
Got no money and I can’t
Get to sleep
Takes all my courage to
Look down that long road
I’m going to Giyani with
Such a heavy load
I’ve got to: Shintsha
(change) Qina (strengthen myself)
Qujngel’ isibindi (take courage)
And don’t give up
Chorus:
Oh I’m going to Giyani
Siyayibiza Ye! As’hambeni
As’hambeni
(We are calling the child, let’s go!
Let’s go!)
Oh I’m going to touch
that magic mystery
Leave all my troubles
Behind me
Did you hear about the
Mouse that went to the
Cat for love
The cat said: “Mouse I
Can’t be what you’re
Dreaming of..
You’re so lonely, you’ve
Got it mixed up..
You’re looking down
Below for what lies up above”
You’ve got to: Shintsha
(change) Qina (strengthen yourself)
Qungel’ isibindi (and take courage)
Don’t give up
Chorus:…
