[Xhosa] Happy New Year

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Ilanga liphuma, nethuba elitsha  
Siphile ubusuku, masidanse ngapha  
Zonke iinyembezi, nezo mpumelelo  
Sishiyile — siya phila ngoku

Ukusuka ezitalatweni ukuya phezulu  
Ukusuka kwelahlekileyo ukuya kwintshatsheli  
Ukuba ukhona, ungowethu  
Apha siqala kwakhona

[Pre-Chorus]

Phakamisa izandla xa umile  
Intliziyo ivulekile, ikamva limemeza  
Akukhathaliseki apho ube khona  
Ngobu busuku… sonke siqala

[CHORUS – Global Hook]

🎆 Unyaka omtsha — siphila!  
Amaphupha amatsha, umlilo ngaphakathi  
Ihlabathi elinye, intliziyo enye, isandi esinye  
Sinyuka kunye ngoku

🎆 Unyaka omtsha — khwaza ngentliziyo!  
Masithembe, yinto esiyifumanayo  
Ukuba silapha, siphumelele ngobubusuku  
Unyaka omtsha — ebomini!

[Verse 2]

Zonke iilwimi, wonke amagama  
Iimbali ezahlukeneyo, umlilo ofanayo  
Ukusukela ekuqaleni kwemini  
Sikhetha uthando, sikhetha ukulwa

Akukho loyiko, akukho kulibaziseka  
Lo ngunyaka wethu — yindlela yethu  
Ukuba uwa, suka ume  
Ngoku ngumzuzu wethu

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Jonga macala, uzive amandla  
Abantu abangaziwayo baba lusapho  
Ukuba intliziyo yakho isabetha  
Ngoko ungumlando

[CHORUS – Phinda]

🎆 Unyaka omtsha — siphila!  
Amaphupha amatsha, umlilo ngaphakathi  
Ihlabathi elinye, intliziyo enye, isandi esinye  
Sinyuka kunye ngoku

🎆 Unyaka omtsha — khwaza ngentliziyo!  
Masithembe, yinto esiyifumanayo  
Ukuba silapha, siphumelele ngobubusuku  
Unyaka omtsha — ebomini!

[Bridge – Stadium / Crowd Moment]

Oh-oh-oh — siphumelele  
Oh-oh-oh — mna nawe  
Akukho mda ngoku, akukho izolo  
Le mzuzu — uhlala apha

(Khwaza!)  
Kuthando!  
Kuxolo!  
Kwethemba!  
Kuthi SONKE!
