Freedom song from South Africa - in four parts.



Asikhatali noma si bowa sizimisel' in keluleko.

Chorus: Unzima lomthwalo ufuna madoda.



V2. Thina bantwana baze Afrika sizimisel' inkeluleko.



Translation:

You can jail us but our spirits are free and we live in hope.

We walk a hard road but victory will be ours.

We are the children of Africa and we live in hope.



Although a song which was sung during the protest against apartheid regime in South Africa, the song still has a meaning today in many parts of the world.
