AMANZIWATER
  
Bawo, kudala si gcel 'inkululekoLord, we ask for peace
Si nje nge LimpopoWe are like the Limpopo
  
Lizo qala nin 'ithemba lethu?When will our hope begin?
Limpopo umfula wetuLimpopo, our river
  
Bawo, siphi isithembiso?Lord, where is the promise?
Re tshwana le LimpopoWe are like the Limpopo
  
Zizo fika nini zonke?When will they all come?
Limpopo molapo wa ronaLimpopo, our beloved river
  
Amanzi a ya phezulu ezibhakabhakeniWater rises to the sky
Njalo nathi si khishwa e makhayeniIn the same way we are taken from our homelands
  
Si wela njeng 'imvula e mhlabeniLike rain, we fall on strange land
Si hlakazwe e moyenWe are scattered with the wind
Si hlakazwe e moyenWe are scattered with the wind
