I wrote this song when I was a kid
It seems to be beautiful for me
I'm still feeling it in my own body
Around me nobody knows nobody knows that
The beat comes from my South African brothers
I didn't know
I didn't know
I didn't know that
Oh Mandela (tsiele le le long peh leh) (etc.)
I follow him today (hou)
By his faith by his courage and determination (hou)
I'm happy to sing for you Madiba (hou hou)
Around the world some people are with me (hou hou)
Ready to jump to enjoy and to say well done Mandela (hou hou)
Oh Mandela (tsiele le le long peh leh) (etc.)
South Africa (Mandela)
Sharpeville (Madiba)
Crossroads (Mandela)
Soweto (Madiba)
Oh transkey bofutashuana,venda siskey, lebowa, gazankulu, oh kwakwa, kwadembele
Just be happy
Mandela Madiba, Mandela Madiba (etc.)
South Africa modamberi nde ngueba lele
Modamberi nde ngeba lekou tcheiga seidou Nelson
Modamberi nde ngeba lekou tcheiga seidou Nelson
Oh Mandela tchega oh Mandela
Oh Mandela tchega oh Mandela
