[Xitsonga] Still Rising

Lyrics

```  
[Intro] (Soft – Spoken / Sung)  
Ndzi fambile eka ku miyela,  
Ndzi twile vito ra mina vusiku,  
Marha hinkwawo ma vulavula,  
Ku wa hinkwako ku tshika mongo.

[Verse 1]  
Va te nkarhi wu ta ndzi rivala,  
Matshelo ma pona hi lembe,  
Kambe ndzi rhwale ndzhwalo  
Wa swivangelo swa mina na ntshikilelo.

Ndzi yimile loko misava yi tsekatseka,  
Loko tinhlamulo ti hele,  
Kambe ndzi hefemula eka ku kanakana,  
Ndzi pfukile nakambe.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Vusiku byin’wana a ndzi tshoveka,  
Ndzi dyondza ku tiyisela,  
Ku lahleka kun’wana ku ndzi dyondzisa,  
Gandzelo rin’wana ri ri lunghiselelo.

[Chorus] (Lift – Melodic)  
Ndzi se pfuka,  
Eka ndzilo na mpfula,  
Ndzi se pfuka,  
Hambi vusiku byi tshama byi fana.  
Ndzi khinsama, kambe a ndzi tshovi,  
Ndzi wa, kambe ndzi tshama,  
Ndzi se pfuka,  
Ndzi vitana vito ra mina.

[Verse 2]  
Ndzi vonile tinyangwa ti pfala hakatsongotsongo,  
Ndzi twile ku nghunghumela ka "e-e,"  
Kambe ripfumelo ri tshamela ku khongela,  
“Kuna nkarhi wa ku kula.”

Ndzi hundzule marha ku va vutlhari,  
Ndzi hundzule ku hefemula ku va xikhongelo,  
Lexi ndzi rhwalaka endzeni ka mina,  
Ku hava loyi a nga lulamisaka.

[Pre-Chorus 2]  
Loko ndlela yi tikomba yi tika,  
Loko ku vonakala ku nga ri kule,  
Tsundzuka matimba ma le ka ntiyiso wa leswi u nga swona.

[Chorus] (Full – Stronger)  
Ndzi se pfuka,  
Eka ndzilo na mpfula,  
Ndzi se pfuka,  
Hambi vusiku byi tshama byi fana.  
Ndzi khinsama, kambe a ndzi tshovi,  
Ndzi wa, kambe ndzi tshama,  
Ndzi se pfuka,  
Ndzi vitana vito ra mina.

[Bridge] (Spoken / Half-Sung – Powerful)  
Leyi a hi makumu,  
Hi vumbhoni,  
Leswi ndzi ponisiweke eka leswi a swi ta  
Tshika rito ra mina.

A ndzi hlawuleriwi  
Hi leswi ndzi lahlekeke,  
Kambe hi matimba  
Leswi ndzi swi tirhiseke ku tsaka.

[Final Chorus] (Big / Choir Feel)  
Hi se pfuka,  
Eka ndzilo na mpfula,  
Hi se pfuka,  
Marha hinkwawo i ndzilo wa hina.  
Hi khinsama, kambe a hi tshovi,  
Hi wa, kambe hi tshama,  
Hi se pfuka,  
Hi vitana mavito ya hina.

[Outro] (Soft – Spoken)  
Loko u swi twa,  
A swi ku tsundzuxe,  
U se kona,  
Naswona sweswo swi vula hinkwaswo.
