Ngiyidodakazi kaSomandla,
uNkulunkulu – umninimandla wonke.
Uthando lwakhe ngilwembethe njalo,
Uhamba nami mihla namalanga.
Nginyathela ngabantwana, kodwa uzwa izigi zeZulu uma ngidlula.

I am the daughter of the Almighty,
The omnipotent God.
His love blankets me eternally,
He walks with me day in and out.
There’s a kick in my step and you feel heaven’s rhythm when I pass.

Ngizalwa yiSibusiso samaGambushe,
OkaMatewu, ozalwa uSongo, ebe ezelwe nguMshobashobi.
Uthando lwakhe lwandisa isizathu sempilo,
Ngisho sihlala ngokuhlukana, ugqugquzela ubumbano.
Ngiyaziqhenya ngogazi lwegazi lami.

I am a descendant of the Gambushe’s Blessing.
Son of Matthews, who was fathered by Songo – son of Mshobashobi.
His love expands my reason to live,
Though we live separately, he continues to encourage unity.
I am proud of the nature of my heritage.

Uma ungibona ngihamba ngokuzethemba,
Isizathu uthando engakhuluswa ngalo.
Bathi ngiyazitshela, abanye bangibuze ukuthi ngoba nginjani mina?
Yingoba ngiphelelisa uthando mina, ngilethe inhlanhla nokuKhanya –
Yebo, nginguAphelele Zanenhlanhla Lesedi Chonco.

Kodwa ke angihambi ngedwa,
Futhi angisoze.

When you see me walk with confidence,
The Love I was brought-up with is the reason.
They say I’m full of myself and others ask: “How dare you?”
I am the completion of Love, I bring luck and light with me –
Yes, I am Aphelele Zanenhlanhla Lesedi Chonco.

Please note I don’t walk alone,
And I never will.
