Lyrics
Diverse heartbeats, yet synchronized (oyehh)
Overcoming, breaking chains (sithi uzishiye izikhalazo)
[Pre-Chorus]
Asimbonanga, yet we saw our light (saw our light)
Madiba magic fills the night (fills the night, oyehh)
Umoya of freedom, taking flight (oyehh)
Chanting our dreams to such great heights (sing it loud, siyaphambili)
Oh oyehhe oyehhhe oyehhhehehe
Mandela ngoma ehlula (oyehh)
Ukuthula across the borders (oyehh)
Amathemba like the colors (oyehh)
Ubunye, siyalala nabo (ubusiso)
Ukukhanya for our saga (oyehh)
Rainbow mosaic, under the sun (oyehh)
Ubuntu pulses, we all are one (thina siy'bona)
[Chorus]
In the rhythm of unity, we find our beat (find our beat)
With every step, we're moving hearts in the street (on the street, oyehh)
Ukuvuma in celebration, rejoice (oyehh)
For we embody Madiba's voice (his voice, siyavuma)
In townships' pulse (oyehh)
Drums of hope, we resonate (asibambane)
Ubuntu's tune (siyabonga)
We dance away the hate (ukuhlangana)
[Pre-Chorus]
Amandla en truth (vey' truth), setting our spirit free (oh free, oyehh)
Unity's groove, crafting our legacy (our destiny, oyehh)
Ubuntu's bloom (ubuntu's bloom)
In every heart, our tales entwine (tales entwine, oyehh)
Izwe lethu, we rise, we shine (rise and shine, oyehh)
[Chorus]
Embracing the colors where we meet (where we meet)
In the dance of freedom, life is sweet (so sweet, oyehh)
Ilanga's warmth, spreading far and wide (far and wide, oyehh)
Youthful voices, brave and wise (hallare, hallare)
They call for change, with radiant eyes (oyehh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Re rainbow spirits, fly so high (so high)
Our dreams unbound, beyond the sky (beyond the sky, oyehh)
Ubuntu's heartbeat, loud and clear (oyehh)
Singing our anthem, for all to hear (all to hear, vumani bo)
Amandla on our vibrant streets (on our streets, oyehh)
Dancing feet in rhythm, history repeats (history beats, oyehh)
[Verse 3]
Kwaito beats, hailed in the air (hailed in the air, oyehh)
Mzansi's heart, in every snare (in the snare, oyehh)
Colors blend (oh blend), where we stand (where we stand, oyehh)
Hand in hand, across the land (across this land, oyehh)
