Lyrics

Yenina!
(Hey, all of you)
Niyaphi?
(Where are you going?)
Basop'ani
(Beware​)
Buyelani!
(Go back)
Phambili!
(Ahead/Forward/Onwards.)
Sihlanganiswa ngalaba abaxhoswa emazweni abo
(We are united by those who were (once) exiled from their lands)
oPukwana, oFeza, oDyani, oMakeba, noIbrahim
(Those like the (Dudu) Pukwanas, the (Mogezi) Feza's, the (Johnny) Dyanis, the (Miriam) Makebas and the (Abdullah) Ibrahims)
Amadoda nabantu besimame baxotwa, babaleka, besaba emaphoyisa.
(Men and women were chased away, (others) they ran away because they feared the police)
Ngobani abanye ba lehleka pheseya?
(How many others were (or who else have we) lost overseas?)
Yinde le ndlela eyakhaya​ - (​The road/journey is long to go home)
​Asambeni​ -(​Let's go)
Buyani
(Come back)
Hlanganani
(Come together)
Lungisani
(Fix together)
Thungisani iy'hliziyo ngeziluleko nohlelo
(Stitch/mend your hearts with advice and arrangements, together)
Iy'hlobo ngeke ziphele kholokotho
(Our relations (brothers and sisters) can not end in abyss)
Kwamele sibeke umuva uma sifuna ukuya phambili
(We have to look back if we'd like to navigate our destination)
Ngomusa nok'thula
(In grace/kindness/generosity/humanity and peace)
Yinde le ndlela ​- ​(The road/journey is long)
