Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika (with lyrics)

Lyrics:

(Xhosa)Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika

Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo,

(Zulu)Yizwa imithandazo yethu,

Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo.

(Xhosa)Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika

Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo,

(Zulu)Yizwa imithandazo yethu,

Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo.

(Sesotho)Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso,

O fedise dintwa le matshwenyeho

(Sesotho) Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso,

O fedise dintwa le matshwenyeho

(Sesotho)O se boloke, O se boloke,
O se boloke Morena (O se boloke)
setjhaba sa heso
setjhaba sa Africa

(Sesotho)O se boloke, O se boloke,
O se boloke Morena (O se boloke)
setjhaba sa heso
setjhaba sa Africa

(Xhosa)Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika

Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo,

(Zulu)Yizwa imithandazo yethu,

Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo.

(Sesotho)Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso,

O fedise dintwa le matshwenyeho
(Sesotho)Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso,

O fedise dintwa le matshwenyeho

(Sesotho)O se boloke, O se boloke,
O se boloke Morena (O se boloke)
setjhaba sa heso
setjhaba sa Africa

(Zulu)Woza Moya (woza moya),

Woza Moya (woza moya),

Woza Moya, Oyingcwele
Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo

(Zulu)Woza Moya (woza moya),

Woza Moya (woza moya),

Woza Moya, Oyingcwele
Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo

Hey! there, thanks for sharing this. I really like this version. Where can I get a copy of this? (which CD etc...)

Thanks

[mttaYtB]

I'm glad you like it. :) This is one of my favourite versions of the anthem. You can find it on the Winds of Worship, Vol. 14: Live from South Africa album.

Ma kube njalo! (Let it be so) Ma kube njalo! Kude kube ngunaphakade, (Forever and ever) Kude kube ngunaphakade!

@QuangNokonoko Bij mijn weten was tijdens de apartheid in Zuid-Afrika dit het strijdlied van de onderdrukte bevolking. Ze waren boos op de blanken die hen als mindere mensen zag. Daarom komen het Engelsch en het Afrikaansch er niet in voor)

[QuangNokonoko]

Ik snap niet waarom deze niet de Europeesche taalen (Englesch en Afrikaansch) er in heeft?

Officieel hooren die eróóck bij.

@taohinton do you speak dutch? becasue if you did, you could read the comment about if this was the national anthem and you wouldn't flap your mouth about things you know nothing about. again my question? why do you care? are you from south africa?

[taohinton]

@Grunneger050 There are currently 53 comments on this page - not a single one says that this is the national anthem - in fact there is already a comment explaining that it was the ANC anthem, which was combined with Die Stem to form the current national anthem. Have a look for yourself!

[Grunneger050]

@taohinton what do you mean all-african? Afrikaans is just like any other language in south africa a part of Africa and why do i have to say that i find a song beautiful when i don't. Yes, there where comments if this was the national anthem. Some dutch people where saying that this was the national anthem. but people who speak english ofcourse think that everyone will translate his sencenses into english, but that's not the case. why do you even care? Are you from south africa?

[PACMonopoly]

@taohinton u right... Peace to dat God

[taohinton]

@PACMonopoly Hey brother, just wanted to say don't let the racists get to you, thankfully most people of european descent look back with shame and grief at the deeds of their forebears and disown their genocidal and inhuman actions.

This beautiful song is a wonderful example of the African spirit, moving, powerful and deeply beautiful. I can only hope that the people of the world will become less hate-filled, treat everyone with love and respect, and celebrate our diversity together.

PEACE

@AugustFirst1927 k first off, u white devils put aids and other disease in Alkebulan, and dont worry bout wut us Blacks r doing, just know u fucks will b back in the European caves

[taohinton]

@Grunneger050 I have no problem with you finding any particular language to be especially beautiful :) I think that going out of your way to comment that this original all-African-lyrics version "is NOT the national anthem ... I want to make that very clear to everyone" is ... at best dodgy, and on such a racially-charged subject seems insensitive and rude. You didn't say "beautiful song" or "great stuff" or anything positive. Incidentally, no comments even mention it being the national anthem.
