Ngaze ngahamba mina
Ngashona emoliva
Umhlaba waphenduka kulonyaka
Ilanga lakhipha umkhovo etsheni
Imvula kayikho madoda
Umuntu walima mabele
Walima mabele (Walima mabele)
Walima mabele (Walima mabele)
Imvula ka yikhoo madoda
Walima mabele (Walima mabele)
Walima mabele (Walima mabele)
Uusizi lupbhokile madoda
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 every see your people here again?
'Cause I heard them singing
Walima mabele (Walima mabele)

Uusizi lupbhokile madoda

Families turn the dry earth
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 them singing
Walima mabele (Walima mabele)
Walima mabele (Walima mabele)
Imvula ka yikhoo madoda

Who has undone the rain, who has undone the rain
Walima mabele madoda
I heard your people calling out on the dry plains of Africa
Walima mabele
Uusizi lupbhokile madoda
Nothing grows, nothing shows a breath of life
Dry dust in the morning light

Walima mabele madoda
I heard them singing, I heard them singing, I heard them singing
Walim' mabele imvula ka yikhoo madoda
Give them your love, lead them to a land of plenty
Walima mabele madoda
Will I ever see your people here again?

Uusizi lupbhokile madoda
I heard them singing, I heard them calling out your name
Walima mabele madoda
Will I ever see you face again?
Walima mabele
Imvula ka yikhoo madoda
