“Bheka Ekhukhwini” lyrics
Bheka ekhukhwini
Bheka kahle
Bheka ekhukhwini
Bheka kahle
Uthi zilahlekile
Ubuza thina sonke
Ubheka ngaphansi
Uphakamisa izihlalo
Mina ngihlezi lapha
Angikaze ngizithathe
Ungasibheki kanjalo
Qala ngejazi lakho
Bheka ekhukhwini
Musa ukusola
Bheka ekhukhwini
Zikhona izikhiye
Bheka ekhukhwini
Musa ukusola
Bheka ekhukhwini
Zikhona izikhiye
Uyazithola manje
Usuyahleka wedwa
Kanti ubuziphethe
Sonke simele wena
Ungahambi ungavalelisanga
Sikufunele kwanele
Phakamisa isandla
Sikubone udansa
Bheka ekhukhwini
Musa ukusola
Bheka ekhukhwini
Zikhona izikhiye
Nazi, nazi
Ubuziphethe wena
Nazi, nazi
Sesiyahleka sonke
Bheka ekhukhwini
Musa ukusola
Bheka ekhukhwini
Zikhona izikhiye
Bheka ekhukhwini
Musa ukusola
Bheka ekhukhwini
Zikhona izikhiye
Zigcine kahle
Siyakubona kusasa
Bheka ekhukhwini
Zigcine kahle
