Siyayibiz' as'hambeni. Hayi, 'Ngane YamaShangane!
(We are calling: hey! let's go child of the Shangaan)
Siyayibiz' As'hambeni. As'hambeni!
(We are calling: let's go. let's go!)

Oh the river is wide
And the water is deep
Got no money and I can't get to sleep
Takes all my courage to look down that long road
I am going to Giyani
With such a heavy load

I've got to:
Shintsha; Qinga; Qingel'isibindi
(change; strengthen myself; take courage)
And don't give up

Chorus :
Oh I'm going to Giyani
Siyayibiz' As'hambeni. As'hambeni
(We are calling: let's go. let's go!)
Oh I'm going to touch
That magic mystery
Leaving my troubles behind me

Did you hear about the mouse
That went to the cat for love
The cat said:
"Mouse, I can't be what your'e dreaming of.
You're so lonely. You've got it mixed up.
You're looking down below for what lies up above."

You've got to
Siyayibiz' As'hambeni. As'hambeni
(We are calling: let's go. let's go!)
Don't give up

Chorus :
Oh I'm going to Giyani
Siyayibiz' As'hambeni. As'hambeni
(We are calling: let's go. let's go!)
Oh I'm going to touch
That magic mystery
Leaving my troubles behind me
