[Verse 1] (English) Mother, you are an endless strength, The most beautiful word God placed on this earth. Mother, you are the boundless start, A guiding light that pierces through the dark. [Verse 2] (Zulu) Mama, ungamandla angapheli, Igama elihle kakhulu uNkulunkulu alinikile. Mama, uluthando olujulile, Ukukhanya kwaphakade okukhanyisa izwe lami. [Chorus] (English & Zulu) Mother, your love is so true! (Mama, uthando lwakho lweqiniso!) You are the light on our path, shining through. (Ukukhanya endleleni, okungcwele.) A thousand songs will sing your name, The essence of love, we praise you the same! (Sikudumisa kanyekanye!) [Verse 3] (English) Sovereign counselor, holy dawn, Sweet blessed name that in our hearts lives on. I am a being from your being, fruit of your life, All of my gratitude I give to you, shining bright. [Verse 4] (Zulu) Mama, mcebisi nesiphephelo sami, Uthando lwakho luhola izinyathelo zami ebumnyameni. Ngiyingxenye yakho, isithelo sempilo yakho, Kwangathi ngingaphila othandweni lwakho njalo. [Chorus] (English & Zulu) Mother, your love is so true! (Mama, uthando lwakho lweqiniso!) You are the light on our path, shining through. (Ukukhanya endleleni, okungcwele.) A thousand songs will sing your name, The essence of love, we praise you the same! (Sikudumisa kanyekanye!) [Bridge] A love that rises far above life... Uthando oludlula impilo... The deepest love, the most beautiful bond. Isibopho esihlanzekile esibusiswe yizulu. Mother, Mama, we honor you today! [Outro] Mother... Mama... Purity and truth. (Ubumsulwa neqiniso.) Everlasting haven. (Isiphephelo saphakade.) Thank you, Mother... (Siyabonga, Mama...) Forever in our hearts. (Fade out)
