Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Bawo, kudala si gcel 'inkululeko Lord, we ask for peace
Si nje nge Limpopo We are like the Limpopo
   
Lizo qala nin 'ithemba lethu? When will our hope begin?
Limpopo umfula wetu Limpopo, our river
   
Bawo, siphi isithembiso? Lord, where is the promise?
Re tshwana le Limpopo We are like the Limpopo
   
Zizo fika nini zonke? When will they all come?
Limpopo molapo wa rona Limpopo, our beloved river
   
Amanzi a ya phezulu ezibhakabhakeni Water rises to the sky
Njalo nathi si khishwa e makhayeni In the same way we are taken from our homelands
   
Si wela njeng 'imvula e mhlabeni Like rain, we fall on strange land
Si hlakazwe e moyen We are scattered with the wind
Si hlakazwe e moyen We are scattered with the wind
