ISIPHEPHO (UYALALELA UMOYA) LYRICS AND TRANSLATION BY JABU HLONGWANE FT JOYOUS CELEBRATION 9 AND A2

Nkosi ubhek' isiphepho                        [God you're watching over a storm]
Namaza ngamaza agubhayo                 [And the excavating waves]
Nezulu seliguqubele                             [And the sky has turned grey]
Akekho baba ongasisiza                       [There is no one out there to help us]
Nguwe wedwa                                      [You're the only one]

CHORUS
Lapho ulalelwa ngamaza la                   [That the waves get to respect]
Uma ethi( Thula thula, thula thula)       [When you say be still]
Noma ulwandle lugubhayo                   [Even when the ocean is excavating]
Noma amadimoni alingayo                   [Even when the demons are attacking] Ungesishonis' isikepe lesi                      [You won't let this ship sink]
EsinoSomandla phakathi le                   [It has the Almighty in it]
Uyalalela umoya wam                           [My soul shall listen to you]
Uma uthi thula                                       [When you say be still]

Thula uthi nya                                       [Be still completely]
Nkosi siyacela baba                              [Lord please]
Vuka manje usisindise                          [Wake up and protect]
Usisindise thina                                    [And protect us]
Ngokuba                                               [Because there's no one else but you]
Onakho, onakho ukusisiza                    [That is able to save us]
Ngoba wena                                          [Because you]
(Chorus)
