Chorus

Ukuqala kobulumko kukoyika uYehova;

My humanity is in my rhythm, my view of life, my nature;

Can't be taken away, it's engraved in my soul,

Repeat chorus

That is who I am, buboke ubuntu bam.

[ngququ]

Chorus: Ukuqala kobulumko kukoyika uYehova; My humanity is in my rhythm, It's engraved in my soul. Ndiyekeni ubuntu ndinabo, Ndiyekeni uxolo ndinalo, intobeko, ububele, nentlonipho; Jong' uncumo lwam lusuka ngaphakathi; Ndinovelwano; ndimhle ngaphakathi; Ndiyekeni, hayibo, ndiyekeni; Ndithi ndinalo uvelwano; Ubuntu ndinabo, intobeko, ububele nentlonjpho;

A disclaimer to my transcribing the lyrics in the original languages: the 1st few lines are in SeSotho - a language in which I am not fluent Would appreciate correction from people who speak the language.

Lyrics:

Botho baka, botle baka, lerato laka, ke botho baka;

Thuto; tshelete, asibotho;

Botho baka ke lerato, bonakano, ke lerato

Bayazibuza ukuba ndinengqondo;

Andiphakamanga, andiphambananga;

Ndiyayazi into endiyenzayo

[ngququ]

@ngququ That is who I am, that's what makes me humane;

Repeat chorus

[ngququ]

@ngququ Leave me alone I am humane Leave me alone I have peace, humility, generosity & respect; Look at my smile, it comes from the inside; I have compassion, I am beautiful on the inside; Leave me alone,oh no people, leave me alone; I say I have compassion, I am humane, humility, generosity & respect. Chorus The beginning of wisdom is to fear Jehovah; My humanity is in my rhythm, my view of life, my nature; Can't be taken away, it's engraved in my soul; Repeat chorus;

[ngququ]

@deanboltman My humanity, my beauty, my love are my humanity Education; money and such are not being human My humanity are my being able to think & love They ask themselves if I have a brain, I am not haughty; I am not crazy; I know what I am doing Chorus The beginning of wisdom is to fear Jehovah My humanity is in my rhythm; It's engraved in my soul
