"Bawo, Thixo Somandla" by The Yale Spizzwinks(?) with Ubuntu School Students

The Yale Spizzwinks(?) sing a native South African song "Bawo, Thixo Somandla" with students at an Ubuntu
school in Port Elizabeth, South Africa during their recent tour.

Lyrics:

Bawo, Thixo Somandla,
Buyinton ubugwenxa bam?
Azi senzen ebusweni beNkosi,
Bawo, Thixo Somandla?

Azi senzeni na?
Azi senzeni na?
Azi senzeni Nkosi yam,
Sigqibana nje!
Emhlaben
Sibuthwel ubunzima
Sibuthwel ubunzima
Bawo, Thixo Somandla.

Mayedlule lendebe,
Mayedlule lendebe,
Azi senzeni Nkosi yam,
Sigqibana nje!

Ndnesingqala
Enhliziyweni yam
Ndisolokho ndisitsho Mngci!
Ayidlule lendebe,
Bawo, Thixo Somandla.

Translation:

Father, God Omnipotent

Father, God Omnipotent,
What is my transgression?
What wrong have we done you, O Lord,
Father, God Omnipotent?

What have we done?
What have we done?
What have we done, my Lord,
That we kill each other like this!
In [this] world
We are loaded with troubles,
We are loaded with troubles,
Father, God Omnipotent.

Let this cup pass from us,
Let this cup pass from us,
What have we done, my Lord,
That we kill each other like this!

I have an unceasing sob
In my heart,
I keep saying Truly!
May this cup pass from us,
Father, God Omnipotent.
