Abogogo know I fought,
Fought hard for this gift,
I felt my ancestors at the soles of my feet,
As I danced I chanted,
Yebo I said it,
Ngiliphuzile, ngaliphalaza...
Emini Libalele...
Yes I did it,
I responded to this gift,
The gift that was embedded,
As I was carried in the womb of my mother,
This gift I carry in me,
It is not for you to judge,
Not for you to see,
But for me to use,
Do not judge me,
Because appearances do deceive,
Obami ubunyanga ngibusebenzele,
Abogogo bam' are peaceful and loving,
Cautious and guarding,
Precious and understanding,
You see me wearing the red and white,
Because I know they looking on with delight,
They know that as umtwana wabo I fought,
Till I found what I had sought,
Abogogo heard as I said Ngihaukele,
They heard when I said Ngiyahlupheka,
They hear it when I say Thokoza,
Obami ubunyanga ngabusebenzela,
"Elami ithonga liyamemeza"
They heard as uGobela said"vusani abangoma"
Yebo ngiyavuma,
Yebo kunjalo,
I wear umyeko, I wear amabhayi,
Knowing in me they soar,
I wear my beads,
