WE BANGCWELE – JOYOUS 18 LYRICS By Ncebakazi Nkansu
Thina silindel’ usuku olukhulu
[We are waiting for the big day]
Lokubuya, ukubuya kukaJesu
[The arrival of Jesus]
Laph’ abangcwele bona bazohlwithwa
[Where the hollies will be chosen]
Oh yek’ intokozo yokwazana nay’ uJesu
[What a pleasure it is to know Jesus]
Oh thina size la
[Us who come here]
Oh yek’ injabulo
[O what joy]
Injabulo yabangcwele
[Joy of the hollies]
Thina silindel’ usuku (We bangcwele)
Olukhulu (we bangcwele)
Lokubuya (we bangcwele)
Ukubuya kukaJesu (We bangcwele)
Laph’ abangcwele (we bangcwele)
Yena ezobalandaezobathatha (We bangcwele)
Eh bangcwele (We bangcwele)
