Ngazenga hamba mina
Ngashone moliva
Umihlaba waphenduka kulonyaka
Ilanga lakhipha umkhove cheni
Imvula kayikho mathotha
Umthunga lima mabele

Walima mabele (walima mabele)
Walima mabele (walima mabele)
Imvula kayikho mathotha
Walima mabele (walima mabele)
Walima mabele (walima mabele)
Usizi lupokile mathotha
Walima mabele
The sky is clear across the land
Not a cloud for empty hands
Who has undone the rain?
Waiting for a windy day
To blow them along to a land of plenty
Will I ever see your people here again?
'Cause I heard them singing
Walima mabele (walima mabele)
Walima mabele (walima mabele)
Imvula kayikho mathotha
Walima mabele (walima mabele)
Walima mabele (walima mabele)
Usizi lupokile mathotha
Walima mabele
Families turn the drier
Burning, burning, burning
Who has undone the rain?
Can it be the answer lies
In a smile from forgotten times?
Will I ever see your face here again?
'Cause I heard you singing
Walima mabele (walima mabele)
Walima mabele (walima mabele)
Imvula kayikho mathotha
Who has undone the rain?
Who has undone the rain?
Walima mabele, mama
I heard your people calling out on the dry plains of Africa
Walima mabele
Usizi lupokile mathotha
Nothing grows, nothing shows a breath of life
Dry dust in the morning light
Walima mabele, mama
I heard them singing, I heard them singing, I heard them singing
Walima mabele
Imvula kayikho mathotha
Give them your love, lead them to your land of plenty
Walima mabele, mama
Will I ever see your people here again?
Walima mabele
Usizi lupokile mathotha
I heard them singing, I heard them calling out your name
Walima mabele, mama
Will I ever see your face again?
Walima mabele
Imvula kayikho mathotha
