Thandokazi, Mama Wabantwana Bam

This is for you, Thandokazi...

I didn't know love had a name before you,

Bendingazi uthando lunegama,

Then Iyana came with your eyes,

No-Inile weza nentliziyo yakho.



Thandokazi, mama wabantwana bam,

You gave me life inside two little ones,

Iyana, Inile - they shine because of you,

Every beautiful thing in them, mama, is you.

Thandokazi, ndiyakuthanda, more than words,

You are the home, you are the song.

Early morning, you're already praying for us,

Ubusuku bonke ubawile kuthi,

You hold us with a love that never gets tired,

Uthando olungadinwayo.

Mabayazi abantwana bam,

That their mama is a queen,

Mabayazi baqhayise ngawe.



Enkosi Thandokazi, enkosi mama wabo,

For life, ngobomi bam bonke.
