[Northern Ndebele] Still Rising

Lyrics

[Intro] (Soft – Spoken / Sung)  
Ngiye ngihamba kuthule,  
Ngizwa ibizo lami ebusuku,  
Isilonda ngasinye sikhuluma,  
Ukuphuka ngakunye kubhala umlando.

[Verse 1]  
Bathi isikhathi sizongikhohlwa,  
Amaphupho ayashabalala,  
Kodwa ngithwele umthwalo  
Wamathemba ami nokwesaba.

Ngama ngiqinile lapho umhlaba uzamazama,  
Lapho izimpendulo zazincane,  
Noma ngiphethwe ukungabaza,  
Ngavuka futhi ngama.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Njalo ebusuku ngiyawa,  
Ngifunda ukumelana,  
Ukulahlekelwa ngakunye kwangifundisa,  
Isinyathelo ngasinye kwakuyihlelo.

[Chorus] (Lift – Melodic)  
Ngisakhuphuka,  
Ngomlilo nangezimvula,  
Ngisakhuphuka,  
Noma ubusuku bunjalo njalo.  
Ngiyaguqa, kodwa angiphuki,  
Ngiyawa, kodwa ngisavuka,  
Ngisakhuphuka,  
Ngibiza igama lami.

[Verse 2]  
Ngibuka iminyango ivala kancane,  
Ngizwa umsindo wokuthi "cha,"  
Kodwa ukholo luhlale luthi cwaya,  
"Kukhona okwengeziwe ukukhula."

Ngiphendula amanxeba abe ukuhlakanipha,  
Ngiphendula ukuphefumula kube umkhuleko,  
Engikuthwele ngaphakathi,  
Akekho ongalungisa.

[Pre-Chorus 2]  
Uma indlela inzima kakhulu,  
Uma ukukhanya kukude,  
Khumbula amandla alele  
Eqinisweni lokuthi ungubani.

[Chorus] (Full – Stronger)  
Ngisakhuphuka,  
Ngomlilo nangezimvula,  
Ngisakhuphuka,  
Noma ubusuku bunjalo njalo.  
Ngiyaguqa, kodwa angiphuki,  
Ngiyawa, kodwa ngisavuka,  
Ngisakhuphuka,  
Ngibiza igama lami.

[Bridge] (Spoken / Half-Sung – Powerful)  
Lokhu akusona isiphetho,  
Kuyinkomba,  
Ukuthi ngasinda lokho okwakumele  
Kuthulise izwi lami.

Angichazwa  
Ngokulahlekelwa,  
Kodwa ngesibindi  
Esidingekayo ukujabula.

[Final Chorus] (Big / Choir Feel)  
Sisalokhu sikhuphuka,  
Ngomlilo nangezimvula,  
Sisalokhu sikhuphuka,  
Isilonda ngasinye siyilangabi lethu.  
Siguqa, kodwa asiphuki,  
Siwa, kodwa sisavuka,  
Sisalokhu sikhuphuka,  
Sibiza amagama ethu.

[Outro] (Soft – Spoken)  
Uma uzwa lokhu,  
Akukhumbuze,  
Usahlezi lapha,  
Futhi lokho kusho konke.
