Rainbow Nation, celebrate
Celebrate another day
A day for life, a day for change
Proudly we are South African
Rainbow Nation, celebrate
Celebrate our pap en vleis
Umnqombhothi is our taste
Proudly we are South African
A young nation's born, not long ago
And through all odds, we strove for peace
Through hard work, love, and dedication
We rose above and together sang
"Nkosi sikelela, ngoba thina
Lusapho lwayo"
Rainbow Nation, celebrate
Celebrate another day
A day for life, a day for change
Proudly we are South African
Rainbow Nation, celebrate
Celebrate our pap en vleis
Umnqombhothi is our taste
Proudly we are South African
When troubles come and plague our land
As one, we'll rise and together, stand
From emaKhaya to city life
Our voice as one will rise and sing
"Nkosi sikelela, ngoba thina
Lusapho lwayo"
