Lyrics

Sivela eZwini siye eBhol, (We come from the Sound to the Bowl) Oluhlaza noluluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka emphefumulweni wethu, (Green and blue in our soul) AmaRams ashayekile — siyazi, (The Rams are beaten — we know) AmaHawk ayandiza — siyanqoba! (The Hawks are flying — we conquer!) ⸻ Pre-Chant Build Sima ndawonye, siyaphakama, (We stand together, we rise) Isiphepho siyafika, (The storm is coming) Izwi liyaduma, (The sound is thundering) Ukunqoba kusezandleni zethu! (Victory is in our hands!) ⸻ Warrior Chant (with clicks) Qha! Qha! AmaHawk! Qha! Qha! Siyandiza! Qo! Qo! Siyanqoba! Qo! Qo! Isiphepho! (Storm!) Xo! Xo! Phakama! (Rise!) Xo! Xo! Phakama! ⸻ 🌌 XHOSA VERSION (Spiritual / Choir / Ancestral Energy) Chorus (Xhosa-style) Sivela eZwini siye eBhol, (We come from the Sound to the Bowl) Luhlaza noluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka emphefumlweni wethu, (Green and blue in our soul) AmaRams oyisiwe — siyazi, (The Rams are defeated — we know) AmaHawk ayandiza — siyaphumelela! (The Hawks are flying — we are victorious!) ⸻ Choir Build Sima kunye, siyaphakama, (We stand together, we rise) Umoya uyavuka, (The spirit is rising) Izwi liyakhala, (The sound is crying out) Uloyiso lusondele!
