Lyrics
Tula tula sizwa man, ngaboka, uwala wetu, uzosinobela. Tula tula sizwa man, ngaboka, uwala wetu, uzosinobela. Inkulu legoma, inkulu legoma, inkulu legoma, uwala wetu, uzosinobela. Inkulu legoma, inkulu legoma, inkulu legoma, uwala wetu, uzosinobela. Oh my children, oh my children, dry your tears, dry your tears, for Allah will guide us to Jannah. For our freedom, for our freedom, some day will come, some day will come, when Allah will guide us to Jannah. Sunga kali wena, sunga kali wena, uwala wetu, uzosinobela. Sunga kali wena, sunga kali wena, uwala wetu, uzosinobela. Tula tula sizwa man, ngaboka, uwala wetu, uzosinobela.
