Son of Nqindi shut the canon with your loin skins!
Zimangele’s world will erupt.
The canon will raise dust routing the enemy
Let Africa be won back!
Rise up to our heads dear continent.
Let your forests swallow the enemy,
Let the foes smoke bullets,
Let Africa be raised to its heights.
The chain of slavery, let it be crushed,
Let us reconstruct Africa.
The enemy will shake like a reed in fast flowing water,
Here comes Africa, it will be independent in full!
Smash out with your assegai Kleke!
Bring back Africa with your battle axe hey Petula!
(Gudugwe Mlilo)
