Life is not exactly like a story
It is never once upon a time
No sooner thus a bad thing happen
Then something new comes in
Oh! Margaret, there’s always hope in life
Just put on a brave face
And the good will return to you
With a little time
Sleep tight Margaret
Girl don’t you worry
You will always come against the tide
Some days are golden
And some are just stones
Let the bed and the pillow comfort your cries
Like a cloud
Carry you to a new day
New day, new life
Releasing the misfortunes
That carried us through yesterday

(Chorus)
Thula-thula
Thululale
Ungabo khala mtakwerthu
Thula-thula
Ungabo khala
Bekezela Mtakwerthu
Sleep tight Margaret
Girl don’t you worry
You will always come against the tide
Some days are golden
And some are just stones
Let the bed and the pillow comfort your cries
Like a cloud
Carry you to a new day
(Chorus)
