Lyrics:

Siyani bngelela
Nina nonke banto bakithi mamelani masi
Khuluma nani sithi
Mmmmmaye ye ye ye
Siyani binggeleta
Nina nonke banto bakithi
Niphile phakade maye
Niphile phakade

May god bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
(forever young, forever young)
May you stay forever young

May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stan upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
(forever young, forever young)
May you stay forever young

We babe noma
Siyani bingelela
Jabulani jabulani ma we thu
We babe noma
Niphile phakade maye maye
Niphile phakade

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be sung
May you stay forever young
(forever young, forever young)
May you stay forever young
