Oh 'dlalil'indima
Madiba ndima ndima
Oh oh ye ye 'dlalil'indima
Madiba ndima ndima

Tree falls winter comes
They wait on the sideline
Timeworn promised land
The whole world’s inconsolable

Madiba ndima ndima
Warrior sleeps, our fears
Keep the saint alive
To save us another day
Warrior sleeps
There are many more hills to climb
The nostalgia’s holding us still
There are dragons still to be slayed
There are rainbows and moonbows
To be found still

Madiba ndima ndima
Hamba kahle
Mkhonto Wesizwe Babo
Hambo lubenokuthula nenzolo
Wasithwala thina
Wasithwala thina

Ungasiyeki (hamba kahle)
Mawuwela ngaphesheya
Intliziyo
Intliziyo igcwele luthando nombulelo
Gcwele luthando thando
Hamba kahle Mkhonto
Hamba kahle Mkhonto
Mkhonto Wesizwe

Madiba ndima ndima
Hamba kahle Mkhonto Wesizwe
Wolirholihlahla phambili
Hamba kahle Madiba
Madiba ndima ndima
Ndima ndima ndima
Ndiiiima 'dlalile (Madiba ndima ndima)

Hills rambling into the distance
Hiding my portion of peace away
Into the distance

Dare I linger, my long walk isn’t ended
I'm on my way
I’m on my way
I’m on my way
Hamba kahle Mkhonto Wesizwe
Konke kwenzekile umhle umsebenzi wakho

Madiba ndima ndima
Konke kwenzekile umhle umsebenzi wakho
Msebenzi wakho
Msebenzi wakho
