Sing along

Ngiyabonga, Baba, ngiyabonga

Ngiyabonga, Baba, ngiyabonga

Ngikhumbule kabi, kodwa wena ukhumbule

Ngiphile kabi, kodwa wena unganikeze

CHORUS

Ngiyabonga, ngiyabonga, ngiyabonga

Ngiyabonga, Baba, ngiyabonga

Abantwana bami, bawukhumbula

Umama wami, wakufunda kuye

Ubaba wami, wayekutshela

Ngakhula, ngafunda, nawe Baba

CHORUS

Ngiyabonga, ngiyabonga, ngiyabonga

Ngiyabonga, Baba, ngiyabonga

Emgodini omkhulu, wangisiza

Emlilweni, wangipholisa

Ebusuku, wangikhanyisa

Ekuseni, wangivusa

Ngiyabonga, ngiyabonga, ngiyabonga

Ngiyabonga, Baba, ngiyabonga
