Soweto gospel choir – Thula-baba Lyrics

African…
Thula thul, thula baba, thula sana
Thul’u babuzo ficka, eku seni. (repeat)
Kukh’in khan-yezi, zi-holel’ u baba
Zim-khan yi-sela indlel’e ziyak-haya
Sobe sik hona xa bonke be-shoyo
Be-thi bu-yela u-bu-ye le khaya
Thula thula thula baba
Thula thula thula sana
Thula thula thula baba
Thula thula thula san

English…

Keep quiet my child
Keep quiet my baby
Be quiet, daddy will be home by dawn
There’s a star that will lead him home
The star will brighten his way home
The hills and stones are still the same my love
My life has changed, yes my life has changed
The children grow but you don’t know my love
The children grew but you don’t see them grow
