Phakamisan' if'legi yethu yeZimbabwe
Khangelan' i Zimbabwe yon' ihlotshi si we
Nkosi bu sis' ilizwe le-thu leZimbabwe
Simudzai mureza wedu weZimbabwe
Tarisai Zimbabwe nyika yakashongedzwa
Mwari ropafadzai nyika yeZimbabwe
O lift high the banner, the flag of Zimbabwe
O lovely Zimbabwe, so wondrously adorned
O God, we beseech Thee to bless our native land;
Kalibusiswe Ilizwe leZimbabwe (IsiNdebele)
Eyazalwa yimpi yenkululeko;
Le gaze' elinengi lamaqhawe ethu
Silivikele ezitheni zonke;
Kalibusiswe ilizwe leZimbabwe.
Ngezintaba lang' miful' e bu keka yo.
I zulu kaline, izilimo zande;
Iz' sebenzi zenam', abantu basuthe;
Kalibusiswe ilizwe leZimbabwe.
Ilizwe labo khokho bethu thina sonke;
Kusuk' eZambezi Kusiy' e Limpopo.
Abakho kheli babe lobuqotho;
Kalibusiswe ilizwe leZimbabwe.Simudzai mureza wedu weZimbabwe (Shona)
Yakazvarwa nomoto wechimurenga;
Neropa zhinji ramagamba
Tiidzivirire kumhandu dzose;
Ngaikomborerwe nyika yeZimbabwe.
Namakomo, nehova, zvinoyevedza
Mvura ngainaye, minda ipe mbesa
Vashandi vatuswe, ruzhinji rugutswe;
Ngaikomborerwe nyika yeZimbabwe.
Nyika yamadzitateguru edu tose;
Kubva Zambezi kusvika Limpopo,
Navatungamiri vave nenduramo;
Ngaikomborerwe nyika yeZimbabwe.Blessed be the Land of Zimbabwe (Englisch)
The symbol of freedom proclaiming victory;
We praise our heros' sacrifice,
And vow to keep our land from foes;
And may the Almighty protect and bless our land.
With mountians, and rivers cascading, flowing free;
May rain abound, and fertile fields;
May we be fed, our labour blessed;
And may the Almighty protect and bless our land.
The land of our fathers bestowed upon us all;
From Zambezi to Limpopo
May leaders be exemplary;
And may the Almighty protect and bless our land.Weblinks
