Hata kama sina fare, nitatembea (Even if I do not have fare, I shall not walk)(Repeat)
I’ve been longing for a while
Nothing else could ever satisfy
A thirst that no one else could quench
An emptiness, that I could never feel
Refrain:
Wafika, wafika kimi (You arrived, You came to me)
Kuthol’ uphila okunaphakade(And I found eternal life)
Wamphefum’lela (You renewed my health)
Wathol’phil’ emthonjeni wakho (You renewed my life from your wellspring) (Repeat)
Troubled eyed, and troubled mind
Didn’t know who’d come and save my life
I had no rest, I didn’t have joy
I was lost and didn’t even know
(Refrain)
