 Nala:

 Chorus: Translation of Zulu:

 

 Fatshe leso lea halalela [The land of our ancestors is holy]

 Fatshe leso lea halalela

 

 Nala:

 Shadowland

 The leaves have fallen

 This shadowed land

 This was our home

 

 The river's dry

 The ground has broken

 So I must go

 Now I must go

 

 And where the journey may lead me

 Let your prayers be my guide

 I cannot stay here, my family

 But I'll remember my pride

 

 Translation of Zulu: Nala:

 Prideland I have no choice

 My land I will find my way

 Tear-stained Lea halalela

 Dry land

 Take this Take this prayer

 With you What lies out there

 Fatshe leso Lea halalela

 

 And where the journey may lead you

 Let this prayer be your guide

 Though it may take you so far away

 Always remember your pride

 

 Chorus:

 Fatshe leso lea halalela

 Fatshe leso lea halalela Fatshe leso lea halalela

 

 Translation of Zulu:

 And where the journey may lead you

 Let this prayer be your guide

 Though it may take you so far away

 Always remember your pride

 

 And where the journey may lead you Giza buyabo, giza buyabo

 Let this prayer be your guide I will return, I will return

 Beso bo

 Though it may take you so far away Giza buyabo, I will return

 Always remember your pride Giza buyabo, oh giza buyabo

 

 Nala:

 Beso bo, my people, beso bo
