Original Zulu Lyrics Here
(Sung in Zulu)
Bawo nginesikhalo, Bawo ngiyakhala
I have a complaint, I have a cry
Lon ‘omubi ney’ ngelosi zakhe bangihlasele
The devil and his angels are attacking me
Oh Nkosi yami bakhubaz ‘umoya wami
Oh my God, they are breaking my spirit
Uwonelan’ umphefumulo wami kangaka?
Why are you trying to break my faith?
Lokh ‘okwenza kimi nakuwe kuzokwenzeka?
What would happen if my faith fails?
Amazwi abawakhulumayo kimi ayahlaba
My enemies grow everyday most of whom are wicked
Ungathanda yini uma lokho kwenzeka kuwe
Those who would like to rejoice in my failure
Lon ‘omubi ney ‘ngelosi zakhe bahlasele
The devil and his angels are attacking me
umangithi ngiya ngapha Nkosi yami ngihlangana nabo
As I try to walk in your path Oh my Father
Amazwi abawakhulumayo kimi ayahlaba
My enemies grow everyday most of whom are wicked
Oh Nkosi yami bakhubaz ‘umoya wami
Oh my God, they are breaking my spirit
Njengoba ngihamba kuyo lendlela yakho
As they walk in your Path
Izitha zami Nkosi yami zigula mihla yonke
The enemy attacks them every day my father
Abaningi babo banomona
There are many who are jealous
Oh Nkosi yami bakhubaz ‘umoya wami
Oh my God, they are breaking my spirit
Amakholwa asemhlabeni ahlaselwe
Believers in the world are haunted
Babuyise Nkosi endleleni bangalahleki
Restore those who have strayed to the right path Father
Bahlale ‘ndleleni yakho Nkosi yami
Help them stay in your path my King
Eyebomini ubomi obungunaphakade
That which leads to eternal life
Uwonelan’ umphefumulo wami kangaka?
Why are you trying to break my faith?
Lokh ‘okwenza kimi nakuwe kuzokwenzeka?
What would happen if my faith fails?
Amazwi abawakhulumayo kimi ayahlaba
My enemies grow everyday most of whom are wicked
Ungathanda yini uma lokho kwenzeka kuwe
Those who would like to rejoice in my failure
Lon ‘omubi ney ‘ngelosi zakhe bahlasele
The devil and his angels are attacking me
umangithi ngiya ngapha Nkosi yami ngihlangana nabo
As I try to walk in your path Oh my Father
Amazwi abawakhulumayo kimi ayahlaba
My enemies grow everyday most of whom are wicked
Oh Nkosi yami bakhubaz ‘umoya wami
Oh my God, they are breaking my spirit
Njengoba ngihamba kuyo lendlela yakho
As they walk in your Path
Izitha zami Nkosi yami zigula mihla yonke
The enemy attacks them every day my father
Abaningi babo banomona
There are many who are jealous
Oh Nkosi yami bakhubaz ‘umoya wami
Oh my God, they are breaking my spirit
Amakholwa asemhlabeni ahlaselwe
Believers in the world are haunted
Babuyise Nkosi endleleni bangalahleki
Restore those who have strayed to the right path Father
Bahlale ‘ndleleni yakho Nkosi yami
Help them stay in your path my King
Eyebomini ubomi obungunaphakade
That which leads to eternal life
