God Bless Africa (Hymn of the African National Congress)

Nkosi Sikeleli Afrika (Hino do Congresso Nacional Africano)

God bless AfricaNkosi sikelel' iAfrika
Raise its horn high,Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo,
Hear our prayers,Yizwa imithandazo yethu,
God bless us, your family.Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo.

Lord, protect our nation,Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso,
End the wars and troubles,O fedise dintwa la matshwenyeho,
Keep us safe, keep us safe, our nation,O se boloke, O se boloke setjhaba sa heso,
The nation of South Africa - South Africa.Setjhaba sa South Afrika - South Afrika.

From the blue of our sky,Uit die blou van onse hemel,
From the depths of our sea,Uit die diepte van ons see,
Over our eternal mountains,Oor ons ewige gebergtes,
Where the cliffs respond,Waar die kranse antwoord gee,

Sounds the call to come together,Sounds the call to come together,
And united we shall stand,And united we shall stand,
Let us live and strive for freedom,Let us live and strive for freedom,
In South Africa, our land.In South Africa our land

Come down, Spirit, come down,Yihla Moya, Yihla Moya,
Come down, Holy Spirit.Yihla Moya Oyingcwele

Bless our Lord;Sikelela iNkosi zetu;
Remember their Creator;Zimkumbule umDali wazo;
Fear them, let them be holy,Zimoyike zezimhlonele,
Bless them.Azisikelele.

Bless the men of the nation,Sikelel' amadod' esizwe,
Bless the leaders too,Sikelela kwa nomlisela
You who carry the land with patience,Ulitwal'ilizwe ngomonde,
Bless them.Uwusikelele.
