Hi folks,

Does anybody know the words to this? It's the new National Anthem of South Africa. I guess asking for a translation would be pushing it.

Hi, Sean. I found these on Yahoo. I'll be right back with a partial translation I found, too.

NKOSI SIKELEL' iAFRIKA

Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika
Maluphakanyisw' uphando lwayo
Yiva imithandazo yethu
Nkosi sikelele
Thina lusapho lwayo
Yiza Moya (Yiza, Yiza)
Yiza Moya (Yiza, Yiza)
Yiza Moya oyingcwele
Nkosi sikelele
Thina lusapho lwayo

Morena boloka sechaba sa heso
O fedise dintwa le matswenyeho
Morena boloka sechaba sa heso
O fedise dintwa le matswenyeho
O se boloke (O se boloke)
O se boloke (O se boloke)
Sechaba sa Heso
Sechaba sa Afrika

Sorry, forgot the line breaks.

Found an even better site HERE which has past and current versions in English and in various native languages.
