Nkosi sikelel` iAfrica
Maluphakanyisw`uphondo lwayo,

Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso,
O fedise dintwa la matshwenyeho,
O se boloke, O se boloke setjhaba sa heso,
Setjhaba sa South Africa - South Africa.

3rd stanza in Afrikaans

Uit the blou van onse hemel,
Uit the diepte van ons see,
Oor ons eternal salvaged,
Waar the crane answer gee,

4th verse in English

Sounds the call to come together,
And united we shall stand,
Let us live and strive for freedom,
In South Africa our land.

Translation:

Lord bless Africa.
praise be to thy glory
hear our prayers
Lord bless us, your family.
Lord, protect your people,
End wars and strife.
Protect you, Lord, your people;
People of South Africa - South Africa.
From the blueness of our sky,
From the depths of our sea
Over our eternal mountains
Where the peaks answer,
Sounds the call of unity,
And together we stand,
Let`s live and fight for freedom,
In South Africa our country.
