Many reeds, strong reeds and the strong hands to bind them
The woman of Africa knew just where to find them
The sun said: "Dry them", the river said: "Wind them"
The rope we could hold who came along behind
Sikelele I'Africa
O sikelele (lama) I'Africa
Ikosi sikelele Africa
Sikelele sikelele Africa
Many moons, many suns and days had their passing
The people of Africa looked and they were working
On the rocks, on the mountains the mines that lay before us
Drums for the first man sing out the chorus
Sikelele I'Africa
O sikelele (lama) I'Africa
Ikosi sikelele Africa
Sikelele sikelele Africa
Many reeds, strong reeds and the strong hands to bind them
The woman of Africa knew just where to find them
The sun said: "Dry them", the river said: "Wind them"
The rope we could hold who came along behind
Sikelele I´Africa
O sikelele (lama) I´Africa
Ikosi sikelele Africa
Sikelele sikelele Africa
