In Africa, it is very important to know the names of our family
Those who are still living, and those who have passed away
If you go to another village, you tell people who you are
Quoting your ancestors proudly by name
That's what this chant is about
See if your parents can help you learn about your family
Aze ngahamba, ngahamba we mali (Thusheli!)
Aze ngafike esikodini bangibuza (Thusheli!)
Ubangibuza bathi gama ngubani (Thusheli!)
Ungibatselile ngathi gama ubhekisizwe (Thusheli!)
Ezintabeni (Thusheli!)
Othukela (Thusheli!)
Ubangibuza bathi mama ngubani (Thusheli!)
Ungabatsela ngathi umama umazoni (Thusheli!)
Ubangibuza bathi baba ngubani (Thusheli!)
Ungabatsela ngathi ubaba umlwana (Thusheli!)
Ubangibuza bathi mkhulu ngubani (Thusheli!)
Ungabatsela ngathi umkhulu ndlavela (Thusheli!)
Omunye umawuny (Thusheli!)
Omunye umsini (Thusheli!)
Omunye ubashaya (Thusheli!)
Omunye ugagamela (Thusheli!)
Ubangibuza bathi kepha kufunani (Thusheli!)
Ungabatsela ngathi ngifuna umsebenzi (Thusheli!)
Kuleli (Thusheli!)
Ngihamba ngiyahlupheka (Thusheli!)
Aze ngahamba, ngahamba we mali (Thusheli!)
Iye ngafike esikodini zindaba (Thusheli!)
Aw yeyey (Thusheli!)
Aw yeyey (Thusheli!)
