“Kufikile Ukukhanya” lyrics
Kufikile (kufikile!)
Kufikile (kufikile!)
Siyabonga, siyabonga
Kufikile
Amakhandlela etafuleni
Loadshedding, sihlezi ebumnyameni
Gogo uyahlabelela kancane
"Kuzofika, ukukhanya"
Umama ubasa umlilo
Siphuza itiye, sixoxa kancane
Abantwana balele phansi
Kodwa uGogo akayeki ukucula
Ukukhanya (kufikile!)
Ukukhanya (kufikile!)
Nkosi, siyabonga
Ukukhanya (kufikile!)
Kufikile (kufikile!)
Kufikile (kufikile!)
Siyabonga, siyabonga
Kufikile
Lights come back, the whole street shouts
Kids run out, no one's in doubt
But Gogo's still down on her knees
"The light was always here with me"
Fridges hum, the TV's on
Radio plays a party song
Everybody dancing in the street
But Gogo sings the same soft beat
Ukukhanya (kufikile!)
Ukukhanya (kufikile!)
Nkosi, siyabonga
Ukukhanya (kufikile!)
Nasebumnyameni (even in the dark)
Ubukhona
Nasebumnyameni
Ubukhona
Ukukhanya (kufikile!)
Ukukhanya (kufikile!)
Nkosi, siyabonga
Ukukhanya (kufikile!)
Kufikile (kufikile!)
Kufikile (kufikile!)
Siyabonga, siyabonga
Kufikile
Kufikile (siyabonga)
Ukukhanya
