Ku Kotisa Mhalamhala

In the Midst of Darkness

Ku Kotisa Mhalamhala

In the midst of darknessKu kotisa mhalamhala
When the night fallsLoko yi twile torha
It's dark in the valleyYi rila kule mananga
It's dark in the mountainsYi rilela milambu
My spirit is troubledHi seswe moya wanga
It's dark with themWu twa torha na wona
The darkness of my GodTorha ra xikwembu xanga
And I'm afraid of it!Le xi ndzi xi navelaka!

Those who mock meVabihi lava sandzaka
They hurt me, theyVa ndzi vutisa, vaku
Where is your God?Xikwembu xaku xi kwihi?
They question me with scornVa ndzi pfuxa mihloti
I count the daysNdzi tsundzuka masiku
When I go with sorrowLoko ndzi ye ni ntshungu
I call on JehovahNdzi ya gandzela yehova
In His eternal house!Ndlwini yakwe yo saseka!

But why, my spiritKambe xana, moya wanga
Do you despair in me?U hela ntamu ha yin'?
What are you waiting forU vavisekela yini
Why do you speak against me?Ndzen' ka mina u rila?
I trust in JehovahNgi u tshemba yehova
Who is ready to help me!La kotaka ku pfuna!
He is the God of sorrowsI xikwembu xa tintswalo
He is love and faith!I xitlhangu ni khokholo!
