(Sung in Zulu)
Namhla Nkosi ngiyamangala (Today Lord, I am amazed)
Umangibheka emuva (When I look back)
Kube wena wawungenami (Were you not with me)
Ngabe ngasal’ endleleni (I would have perished along the way)
(Repeat)
Chorus:
Nkulunkulu uthado lwakho (God, your love)
Kithina bantu lukhulu (For us, [your] people, is great)
Wanikela ngendodana (You gave up your Son)
Halleluya siyabonga (Hallelujah, we give thanks)
(Repeat)
Sangena lapho kuthiwa (We entered where it is said)
Ongene khon’ akaphumi (“Who enters here will not leave,”)
Saphuma lapho kuthiwa (We exited where it is said)
Akuphunywa akuphunywa (“There is no way out at all”)
(Repeat)
Kube wena nkosi wawungenami (Were you not with me)
Ngabe ngasal’ endleleni (I would have perished along the way)

when my mom passed away in 2008. A part of me left with her. I felt alone and at times wanted to commit suicide but then it hit me that my 7yr old brother z life will never be the same again losing the 2 most important people in his life. I wont lie it was a heavy journey at times wished i could just give up.the thought of not seeing her precious face ever in my life left my eyes full of tears! i cryed every night there was never a day dat passed without me sharing a tear over her death. last yr did my matric and managed to obtain good results…my motivation was just doing it for her and making her proud. this year i managed to get in to da university and studying towards my degree in BA communication …eventually i healed ..through the help nd da strength of God i m healed. my brother is of the top students in his class currently doing grade 7 and was recently accepted at one high school which is known of producing quality results at the North West province. today as i look back at my past all i can say is Namhla Nkosi ngiyamangala (Today Lord, I am amazed)
Umangibheka emuva (When I look back)
Kube wena wawungenami (Were you not with me)
Ngabe ngasal’ endleleni (I would have perished along the way)

it connects my spirit body and soul. i was traveling in a bus first time i heard the song. i was going through difficult time, don”t how to come out of that situation but hearing it, was like GOD is speaking to me, reminding me he knows and i will come out of it even though it seems as if the was no way. even today it still makes me cry because i over come my fears. thank you for this wonderful and marvelous songs.

I love what you do on this blog – there should really be more sites like this dedicated to song lyrics in African languages (especially since artistes don’t seem to publish them).
The lyrics posted here don’t seem to be 100% accurate for this version of the song (although they still capture the meaning). Here’s my interpretation with a more literal translation:

This song! This song, it saved my life, its like God reached out of heaven and delivered a message to me, to get me out of the worst place I’ve ever been. I’m a 28 year old black South African male, it brought tears to my eyes and still does to this day. I thank God and am reminded how fortunate I am to have such a wonderful life each time I hear this song.
