The Spiral of Existence

Bona izulu lomhlaba, o baba
Sithi heh ingwe yama
Bona izulu lomhlaba, o baba
Sithi heh, ingwe yama
Ingwe yama
Sizo Lwela
Ingwe yama
Ingwe yama nobukhosi busasibhakabhaka
Ingwe yama nobukhosi busasibhakabhaka

Verse 1:
From the moment of our first breath,
Under the gaze of the boundless sky,
There's an endless horizon to explore,
Vast deeds to be done before we fly.

Pre-Chorus:
So much life that beckons from each sight,
Boundless quests that call us to the hunt,
Yet the heavens, grand in their azure might,
Guide the grand and meek, in their celestial front.

Chorus:
It's the spiral of existence,
Spins us round in endless dance,
Through sorrow and through mirth,
Through belief and tender romance.
Until we carve our niche
In the journey's grand expanse,
Within the spiral,
The endless spiral of existence.

Ingwe yama nobukhosi busasibhakabhaka
Ingwe yama nobukhosi busasibhakabhaka
Ingwe yama nobukhosi busasibhakabhaka (si-tho-kwa!)
Ingwe yama nobukhosi busasibhakabhaka (si-tho-kwa!)

Verse 2:
As we venture forth upon this earth,
And in the sunlight’s truth, we stand awake,
There's more beauty than eyes can grasp,
More paths to tread than steps we take.

Verse 2:
As we venture forth upon this earth,
And in the sunlight’s truth, we stand awake,
There's more beauty than eyes can grasp,
More paths to tread than steps we take.

Bridge:
It’s the dance of the world,
Spinning us through sorrow and dreams,
By belief and heart, through every extreme.
Till we each discover our stream,
Along the journey that unwinds,
In the circle,
The endless circle we find.

Outro Chorus:
In the cycle of days,
It propels us, every soul,
Through the haze, with courage it cajoles.
‘Til our stories find their ways,
On the canvas divine,
In the circle,
The eternal circle of time.

Amandla ngaw' aluhlaza
Amandla ngaw' aluhlaza
Amandla ngaw' aluhlaza (si-tha-ta!)
Amandla ngaw' aluhlaza (si-tha-ta!)



Amandla ngaw' aluhlaza
Amandla ngaw' aluhlaza
Amandla ngaw' aluhlaza (si-tha-ta!)
Amandla ngaw' aluhlaza (si-tha-ta!)
