    Lyrics:
    Hayi ku hluvukile ka hina n'wino
    Ayi ku hluvukile ka gaza n'wino
    Aha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha he weno ku hluvukile ka zet
    Ayi nga langutani sweswi kuna ti bazi
    Aha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha he weno ku hluvukile ka zet
    A hi tsakeni ku na switimela
    Aha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha he weno ku hluvukile ka zet
    Eh hi hluvukile ku na ti bazi
    Aha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha he weno ku hluvukile ka zet
    Eh tsakani we magaza
    Aha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha he weno ku hluvukile ka zet
    Ayi ku hluvukile ka hina n'wino
    Aha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha he weno ku hluvukile ka zet
    Africa
    Ukujabula kwakho
    Kushukuma zonk'izizwe
    Ay, ukugiya kwakho
    Kujabulisa zonk'izintaba
    Giya aw woza
    Giya woza
    Yawuz'umoya eshe woza
    Giya woza (Aha-ha-ha)
    Giya woza, yawuz'umoya (Ha-ha-ha he weno ku hluvukile ka zet)
    Giya woza
    This is our kind of rhythm in Africa
    We send our messages through music
    Is our tradition in Africa
    This is our kind of rhythm in Africa
    We send our messages through music
    Is our tradition in Africa
    Come on, come on, let's sing together now
    Aha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha he weno ku hluvukile ka zet
    Aha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha he weno ku hluvukile ka zet
    Eeh, eeh, eeh, eeh, eeh, eeh, eeh, eeh
    (Oh yes) Is nice
    (Oh yes) So nice
    Eeh, eeh, eeh, eeh
    (Oh yes) Do it again
    (Oh yes) Is so sweet
    Eeh, eeh, eeh, eeh
    (Oh yes) Kwa nandika
    (Oh yes) Is nice, nice
    Aha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha he weno ku hluvukile ka zet

    I am from Morocco. Despite the distance from South Africa, music remains the best expression of language, belonging and the closeness of peoples. This song has a history for me when I was fifteen years old. It ranked first for several weeks in the top10 for the best song. My greetings to every African who loves peace.

    Iam Ugandan by birth now in Maryland-USA but I find myself playing all these 90s and 80s songs in my car because it is the music that raised us..I remember as kids in our village sitting to watch our black and white tiny TV with a show called "Music Africa" by Mike Makamazibu and this song got locked in my brain because I didn't know the title.One day when I typed Yvone Chaka Chaka's umqomboti in my CZcams music playlist,this song was the second on play..As I talk I am watching the video on CZcams in my living room😅.

    Who is still listening to my late father's favourite? It reminds me when my father used to come from SA to Namibia 🇳🇦 land of the brave and when he jumps out of his truck he would begin to dance to that music playing in the truck and distribute braai packs to the whole village houses. They would come old and young gather just to dance to His traditional music, what a tremendous experience I have ever had in 1996, truly there is life in happiness whether poor or rich we all need happiness one way or another. And his legancy still prevails through me. This is my style and his song always when I go home.

    point! 😎👌 Can't stop playing this either! It's like it's become my
    anthem. Lmao!! 😄😆 I'd pay good money to see any of the unused footage that didn't make it into the final video. If anyone has it they've got a real treasure on their hands.
