Zulu Chorus
Translations of Zulu

NOTE: This piece is technically considered an instrumental, yet it contains background lyrics, which I have logically interpret and given here. Lyrics of which I'm unsure have been underlined.

We sangoma ngi velelwe  [Oh, spiritual healer, I'm troubled]
We baba ngivelelwe      [Oh, my father, I'm in pain]
We baba ngivelelwe      [Oh, my father, I'm in pain]

(Interlude)

Hoo, hoo hah
(Chant repeats with various chanting in foreground)

Busa le lizwe bo        [Rule this land]
Busa le lizwe bo        [Rule this land]
Busa lomhlaba wethu     [Rule this land of ours]
Busa ngo xolo           [Rule with peace]

Busa ngo thondo bo      [Rule with love]
Busa ngo thondo bo      [Rule with love]
Busa ngo thondo bo      [Rule with love]
Busa ngo xolo           [Rule with peace]

Ubuse ngo thando        [Rule with love]
Ubuse ngo xolo          [Rule with peace]
Ubuse ngo thando        [Rule with love]
Busa Simba, busa Simba  [Rule, Simba, rule, Simba]

Vusa amdlozi bo         [Wake the spirits]
Vusa amakhosi bo        [Wake the ancestors]
Vusa amdlozi bo         [Wake the spirits]
Busa Simba iyo          [Rule Simba]

Oh busa Simba iyo       [Oh rule Simba]
Vusa amakhosi bo        [Wake the ancestors]
Vusa amdlozi bo         [Wake the spirits]
Busa Simba iyo          [Rule Simba]
