Some suggested correction to the lyric translations and lyric above:
Ewe Jesu wena uliqhawe (Jesus you are a champion)
Wena Wedwa Jesu ungu Mnqobi (You alone Jesus are the conqueror)
(repeat)
Wangilwela Jesu, Wanginqobela(You fought for me Jesus, you conquered for me)
Wangilwela Jesu, Wena uliqhawe(You fought for me Jesus, you are the victor)
(repeat)
Oh ho Jesu wena o matla(oh yes Jesus you are powerful)
Wena fela Jesu o mo fenyi (You alone Jesus are the conqueror)
The rest is great! Thanks for posting this up in the first place.
