from
http://izn.2.forumer.com/index.php?showtopic=1898


It's "Helele" by Velile & Safri Duo and the lyrics are as follows:

Chorus (2x):
Helele, bomama
Amasiko ethu
Soze aphele kithi
Nabo okhokho bethu
Go for it, children of our mothers!
Our traditions
Will never cease to exist at our place
Nor will our ancestors
Verse:
Amaqhawe esizwe
(Asibonge komama)
Abathokozisa bethu
(Asibonge abazali)
Izimbali zesizwe
(Asibonge komama)
The heroes of the nation
(Let's thank our mothers)
Our wellsprings of joy
(Let's thank our parents)
The flowers of the nation
(Let's thank our mothers)
Pre-chorus:
Uma mina nawe singabambisana
Uma mina nawe singahloniphana
If me and you could help each other
If me and you could respect each other
[chorus (2x)]

Verse:
Amaqhawe esizwe
(Asibonge komama)
Bona basikhulisa
(Asibonge abazali)
Yini ehlula abazali
(Asibonge komama)
The heroes of the nation
(Let's thank our mothers)
It was them who brought us up
(Let's thank our parents)
What could overpower our parents?
(Let's thank our mothers)
Pre-chorus:
Uma mina nawe singabonisana
Uma mina nawe singahloniphana
If me and you could look after each other
If me and you could respect each other
[chorus (1x)]

Bridge:
Phambili, bomama
Themba lesizwe
Hheyi ubuhle benu
Soze buphele
Forward, children of our mothers
Hope of the nation
Hey, your beauty
Will never cease to exist
[chorus (2x)]

I like sleeping ngithanda ukulala
Ngelanga elinye ngilala amahola alishumi
In one day i sleep for 10hours

Computer ikhompuyutha
Ilanga liyaze lishone elokhe ekhangele ikhompuyutha
The sun sets while still looking at the computer

Shopping ukuhamba ukuyathenga
Iviki kalipheli nginga hambanga ukuyathenga ihembe
A week doesn’t pass without me buying a shirt

Football ibhola
Ibhola liyamu hlanyisa
Football makes him crazy

Collecting stamps etc ukuqoqa izitembu
Uyathanda ukuqoqa izitembu ezemazweni
He likes collecting stamps from different countries

Reading ukubala
awumboni engabali
can ever see them not reading

Watching T.v ukubukela iT.V
Ulivila lomuntu, akayenzi lutho. Ilinga liyaze lishone ebukele iT.V
She is lazy, never does anything. The day even passes while she is watching T.V

Gardening ukuyanza ingadi
Umtwana wakhe ukhuthele, uyancedisa abazali bakhe engadini
The child is energetic (form of praise) she helps her parents do the garden

Travelling hambahamba
Akahlali phansi, uthanda ukuhamba labantu emazweni
Doesn’t settle down, she likes going with people to different countries

Hunting ukuzingela
Nxa ehamba ukuyazingela uthatha umkhonto owaphiwa nguyisemkhulu
When going hunting he likes to take a spear given by his grandfather

Cooking pheka
Ngiyathanda ukupheka akakhekhe
I like baking cakes
