lyric
[Verse 1]

Ubusuku businda emhlabeni
Umoya uthule, umlilo uyafa
Ngibiza igama lakho ebumnyameni
Kodwa izwi lakho aliphenduli

Umhlabathi uyakhumbula
Izinyawo zakho, izinyembezi
Inhliziyo yami igcwele ukuthula
Lapho izwi lakho lalikhona

Pre-Chorus

Bath’ amadlozi awakashoni
Asahamba nathi
Uma kunjalo
Yizwa isililo sami

[Chorus]

Isililo… isililo…
Yizwa inhliziyo yami
Isililo… isililo…
Ngilahlekile, kodwa ngimile

Isililo… isililo…
Thatha izinyembezi zami
Isililo… isililo…
Zizwe nina madlozi

[Verse 2]

Izinsimbi zithule namuhla
Azikho izingoma, akukho ukuhleka
Kuphela ukushaya kwenhliziyo
Okukhumbula wena

Sifunda ukuphila nobuhlungu
Sifunda ukuma sodwa
Igama lakho lihlala kimi
Njengomoya ongabonwa

[Bridge (ritual / chant – repetitivo)]

Hamba kahle… hamba kahle…
Umoya wakho useseduze
Hamba kahle… hamba kahle…
Asikukhohlwa

[Final Chorus]

Isililo… isililo…
Yizwa umphefumulo wami
Isililo… isililo…
Ngikhala phambi komhlaba

Isililo… isililo…
Buyisa ukuthula kimi
Isililo… isililo…
Sihlale sikhumbula

[Outro]

Isililo…
Isililo…
