Lyrics: Yes
 
Ayibalulekanga imoto oyiqhubayo
Andizikhathalelanga iimpahla ozingxibayo
Nob' ubeth' iLoxion Kulca okanye ushay' iBillabong
Ub' ubiziwe yiAfrika then we're singing the same song
 
Akukho mali
Asinamali
As'funi mali
S'fun' ubumnandi
Akukho bumnandi
Asinamnandi
As'fun' bumnandi
Sifun' uthando
 
Nguban' othe suhlal' ezulwini nangona usemhlabeni
Nguwe wedwa ozibambezelayo, ubomi ngobakho
Selifikile ixesha lokusenza isigqibo sokuphila
Ub' ubiziwe yiAfrika, the same song we all sing
 
Akukho mali
Asinamali
As'funi mali
S'fun' ubumnandi
Akukho bumnandi
Asinamnandi
As'fun' bumnandi
Sifun' uthando

Kapa Thekwini Joburg Soweto Ebhayi Mowbray Kaap!
 
Ootata bethu kudala bekhala: the same job for thirty years
Akukho nto ibonakalayo- except for thirty kids
Nob' uqhub' iDatsun endala
Okanye ushay' iMercedes Benz
Ub' ubiziwe yi Afrika, then we're singing the same song
 
Akukho mali
Asinamali
As'funi mali
S'fun' ubumnandi
Akukho bumnandi
Asinamnandi
As'fun' bumnandi
Sifun' uthando
