Ilanga seliphumile
Futhi naw'uvukile
Vuyela impilo yakho
Uvuthulul' umtwalo
In the morning of my life]i shall look at the sunrise
The questions that I have only God can grant me
To be brave
To be strong
To be true
To myself
Ilanga seliphumile
Futhi naw'uvukile
Vuyela impilo yakho
Uvuthulul' umtwalo
In the noon of my life
I shall look to the sunshine
And the questions that I have
Only I can answer
Am I brave
Am I strong
Am I true
To myself
OIlanga seliphumile
Futhi naw'uvukile
Vuyela impilo yakho
Uvuthulul' umtwalo
In the evening of my life
I shall look to the sunset
And the questions that I have
Only we can answer
Was I brave
Was I strong
Was I true
To myself
OIlanga seliphumile
Futhi naw'uvukile
Vuyela impilo yakho
Uvuthulul' umtwalo
Oh shoobi do di da da
Oh shoobi do di da da
Oilanga
