The black man who fightsO negro que lute
To be able to dreamPra poder sonhar
To change this hereEm mudar isso aqui
Power has so many handsO poder tem tantas mãos

And only knows how to lieE só sabe mentir
The more it is saidQuanto mais se diz
The more the people wantE mais o povo quer
ElectionEleição
No one expected to seeNinguém esperava ver
The earth trembleA terra estremecer
With apartheidCom o apartheid

God save SowetoDeus salve soweto
Caress and warmthCarícia e calor
In the ghettosNos guetos
From every corner of the worldDe cada canto do mundo
My loveMeu amor
With so many issuesCom tantos assuntos
And I adore youE eu a te adorar

It would be absurdAbsurdo seria
Not to think it's normalNão pensar que é normal
To arm oneself every daySe armar todo dia
To fight evilPara combater o mal
The people would voteO povo votaria
And so I will loveE assim eu amarei

The mountain, the tideA serra, a maré
The coastO litoral
God save SowetoDeus salve soweto
Subtract from governmentSubtrai de governo
Those who will betrayOs que trairão
Not themEsses não

There are already too many peopleJá tem gente demais
Wanting to ruleA querer mandar
The people want to flourishO povo quer florescer
And make a livingE ganhar a vida
