Simil’umzuzwana, simele kwawena (We’ll wait for a while, we wait for You) x4
Woza ke kuThixo; az’ akusingathe (Come nearer to God, He will take care of You)
Akuse kwangoku,ekusa phezulu (On your journey, leading to heaven)
Nakana, ke moni asikulahlangile (Sinner be careful, that You are not abandoned)

(Sung in Xhosa)
Ndavuk’ ekuseni (I woke up in the morning)
Ndingenalo ithemba (I had no hope)
Kodwa yan’ imvula (But the rain fell)
Imvula yentsikelelo (Rain of blessing)
Ndavuk’ ekuseni (I woke up in the morning)
Ndingenalo ithemba (I had no hope)
Kodwa yan’ imvula (But the rain fell)
Imvula yamathamsanqa (The rain of fortune)
Ithi holili ho, holili ho, holili ho (Crying holili ho…)
Holili ho, holili ho, holili ho (Repeat)
Ndavuk’ ekuseni (I woke up in the morning)
Ndingenalo ithemba (I had no hope)
Kodwa yan’ imvula (But the rain fell)
Imvula yentsikelelo (Rain of blessing)
Ndavuk’ ekuseni (I woke up in the morning)
Ndingenalo ithemba (I had no hope)
Kodwa yan’ imvula (But the rain fell)
Imvula yamathamsanqa (The rain of fortune)
Ithi thul’ungakhali, thul’ungakhali (We say, be quiet, be still)
Sul’ ezonyembezi (And wipe away your tears)
Thul’ungakhali, thul’ungakhali (Be quiet, be still)
Thula sana lwami (Be quiet my child) (Repeat)
Makuded’ ubumnyama, ubumnyama (Let the darkness move, the darkness move)
Kuvel’ ukukhanya (So that the light may shine)
Thul′ungakhali, thul’ungakhali (Be quiet, be still)
Thula sana lwam’ (Be quiet my child) (Repeat)
Repeat: Holili ho
Thul′ungakhali, thul’ungakhali (Be quiet, be still)
Sul’ ezonyembezi” (And wipe away your tears)
Thul′ungakhali, thul’ungakhali (Be quiet, be still)
Thula sana lwam’ (Be quiet my child)
