Makhabeleni

Ngikhumbula ngisakhula ngikhul'ekhaya
I remember the days growing up at home

Baba nomama, nobaba, nomame
Fathers and mothers, fathers and mothers
Basithanda thina emakhabeleni
They once cared and loved us in makhabeleni

Hawu, sasikhula emakhabeleni
Oh, we grew up in makhabeleni
Hawu, babesithanda emakhabeleni
Oh, they loved and cared for us in makhabeleni

Ikhaya lami lisele
My home is now gone and behind me
Ikhaya lami lingekho
My home that is not here anymore

Hawu, sasikhula emakhabeleni
Oh, we grew up in makhabeleni
Hawu, babesithanda emakhabeleni
Oh, they loved and cared for us in makhabeleni
