Vuka, vuka S'thothobala.
Basa mangwanani, vuk'uyosebenza
Vuka, vuka S'thothobala.
Basa mangwanani, vuk'uyosebenza
Hapana chinouya,
Usina kushanda,
Zvekudimburira,
Ndati kwete taramba
Sujwayele ukuzuza lula,
Sujwayele okwamahala,
Akuvuke S'thothobala akuvuke
Uyosebenza.
Yindaba uludubo kulabo abakugcinileyo,
Izandl'ulazo,
Akuvuke uyosebenza
Wake up
Get up S'thothobala.
Work is done while it s still morning.
Get up and go to work
Get up S'thothobala.
Work is done while it is still morning.
Get up and go to work
Nothing comes without work,
Shortcuts NO
You are now used to getting things easily,
Freely, just Get up and work
Why are you a burden to those
Who are taking care of you?
You have the hands,
Just Get up and work
