Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika, [God (Lord) bless Africa]
Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo, [May her glory be lifted high]
Yizwa imithandazo yethu, [Hear our petitions]
Nkosi sikelela, [God bless us]
Thina lusapho lwayo. [Your children]

Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso, [God we ask you to protect our nation]
O fedise dintwa le matshwenyeho, [Intervene and end all conflicts]
O se boloke, O se boloke [Protect us]
Setjhaba sa heso, [Protect our nation]
Setjhaba sa South Afrika [Our nation, South Africa]
South Africa... [South Africa...]

Uit die blou van onse hemel, [Ringing out from our blue heavens]
Uit die diepte van ons see, [From our deep seas breaking round]
Oor ons ewige gebergtes, [Over everlasting mountains]
Waar die kranse antwoord gee, [Where the echoing crags resound]
---
Sounds the call to come together,
And united we shall stand,
Let us live and strive for freedom,
In South Africa our land.
